Great new features but not a strong as the fenix 6
on May 17, 2025
Posted by: Crewmaxman
Don’t get me wrong I love this watch but I am disappointed that for the money my screen has a scratch on it from normal wear. My fenix 6 pro took a year and a half before showing signs of wear. This watch only lasted a couple months and already a small scratch. I wish it was built a bit better.

Bought this watch last month and am loving it thus far. Crazy the amount of features it has. Tracks my workouts and vitals perfect. The build quality is superior! Highly recommend

The battery last a long time. 29 days. Packed with so many features I’m still learning them all. I highly recommend it. The display is bright and easy to see under low light conditions.

I couldn't be happier with the Tactix 8. I'm coming from a Garmin Enduro, which I loved as well. But, this watch is next level.

Great upgrade to Fenix 6
on May 4, 2025
Posted by: SammyRozy
I got my Tactix 8 Pro as a 60th Birthday present, and it is the third upgrade to a series of Fonex videos I had previously. It is undoubtedly the most significant upgrade of all. The flashlight, touchscreen, and voice functionality make it so. The titanium case reduces its weight without compromising strength and durability. I couldn't ask for a better smart field watch that is a pleasure to wear daily.

An unexpected premium upgrade!

I have been a fan of Garmin products ever since my days as an active-duty US Army Special Forces member. At one point, the original Garmin fenix line was an issued watch to our unit as it outperformed the Suunto watches we were equipped with up to that point. I have owned every iteration of the fenix, as well as the Epix, and this is my first experience with the tactix. It is a terrific upgrade! The new UI is amazing and really takes advantage of the AMOLED screen. The speed of the user interaction is equally pleasing. This is a rugged yet elegant tactical instrument that I feel I can rely on. Now, as a retired service member, the tactix 8 is my go-to fitness and outdoors adventure wrist worn computer!

No email, No texting, a lot of freezing up. Smart watch it is not.
