  • Wonderful Watch!
Style: SOLAR: AB ELITE Size: 51 mm
The media could not be loaded. FrontRow Tech LLC quickly shipped my Garmin Tactix® 8 Applied Ballistics Solar Elite Premium Watch. Great service. 5-stars 25-May-2025: UPDATE: Average Skin Temperature works: 15.31 Software Release. Changed review from 4-stars to 5-stars. 23-March-2025: UPDATE: Average Skin Temperature Does Not Work: 19-March-2025, I contacted David, at Garmin. He mentioned this is a known issue; and, a firmware is being worked on to resolve this issue. The ETA release for the firmware is May 2025. My watch has the latest firmware: 13.71. I reset my watch and Garmin Connect. To date, 22-March-2025, the Average Skin Temperature doesn’t work after the reset of the watch and the Connect application on my iPhone 13. Some operators have this problem, and others don’t. According to David, I’m the eighth caller experiencing this problem. If the May 2025 firmware resolves the skin temperature issue, I will update my Star-rating to 5. 31-March-2025: I am going to the firing range to test the Elite Applied Ballistics, which is one of the reasons I purchased this watch. The Elite License is set up, and I anticipate it will work well when I discharge my long arm down-range. - Display is bright and easy to read under the sun and low light settings. The backlight is great for dark settings. (My display setting is 10%.) - Rucking is a new application, which I always wanted with my Garmin Instinct 2X Solar Tactical Watch; because, I carrying a tennis backpack whenever I walk to and from the tennis courts; and, I always wanted the weight of my tennis backpack to be factored into my Walk Activities. The Tactix 8 satisfies my want; hence, now, I’m able to factor in the weight of my tennis backpack into my Walk Activities. - I like the new ECG feature. It’s easy to use. - I also purchased the Tactix 8 for my SCUBA diving trip to the Channel Islands this coming Summer 2025; hence, I will update this review after my first dive. I already took it swimming today, 20-Feb-2025, and no leaks. The Swimming Activity was accurate and helpful for my tennis cross-training. - Phone connectivity works great — though, I don’t use these features when I play tennis nor when I am in HIIT mode. The watch piggy-backs off my iPhone. It doesn’t have its own LTE Cellular component like my Apple Watch Ultra. - I am taking aviation classes; hence, I will use the Tactix 8 as a back-up flight aid. I will update this review after I use the Aviation Application. - The color of the watch casing looks lighter than the Tactix 7. - The GPS seems to be more sensitive; because, I’m able to get GPS indoors — unlike the Tactix 7 Pro Ballistics and my Instinct 2X Solar Tactical watches. - Navigation is visually appealing with the colored maps, and navigation is accurate — I did a TrackBack without any problems, such as, but not limited to, navigation lag. Recalculation in NYC (Manhattan) took place quickly — seconds. - Solar charging panel appears to be bigger than the Tactix 7, but I have not researched my assertion — bottom line: the solar charging works great. I will do more tests and update this review if I notice any problems. The watch comes with a charging cable, booklets, and a black silicone strap. The Tactix 7 Applied Ballistics Pro came with a nylon strap and black silicone strap. Check 6! /s/ Alfonso Faustino ... show more

  • Worth every cent!

  • Phenomenal watch!!!
Style: AMOLED Size: 51 mm
My introduction to smart watches was the Samsung Galaxy Ultra watch in white. It was great for what is was. Linked with my Samsung Galaxy 25 Ultra, it did everything I could ask for. Prior to that, I was wearing my Casio G-Shock GWG-2000. The Garmin Tactix 8 51mm AMOLED is just such a phenomenal watch in every way. I mean it looks gorgeous to just wear on the wrist. You can wear it for any occasion. It's bigger than my Samsung watch but feels a lot lighter. The screen is beautiful. Some might say it's overkill, but I say the more features, the better. I don't like when companies or even people try to tell me what I do and don't need. Give me everything and allow me to decide for myself. The battery life is on a whole other level in comparison to the Samsung. I was getting 1-3 days on the Samsung depending if I used energy saving mode (3D) or not. My first charge of 100% and the Garmin said 28 days. Of course, I just start wearing it last night, but that is just amazing!!! I got this thing for about $400 off of the retail price because it was supposed to be used and in good condition. The thing came in looking like it wasn't touched. The only thing that was a little raggedy was the box. I would highly recommend this watch to anyone that can afford it. ... show more

  • Serious watch for serious people. Incredible.
Style: SOLAR Size: 51 mm
The state of the art high performance smart watch. If you are a serious athlete, there are a few other Garmin watches that perform as well as this one. However if you are a tactical, military, operator type... This is the most comprehensively outfitted watch I've ever tested. If you're not a military special forces operator, but you still want the coolest watch, this is it. (I prefer the solar version because the screen gets better the brighter the sunlight is. The AMOLED version looks best inside.) ... show more

  • Best watch for active military in the field!
Style: SOLAR: AB ELITE Size: 51 mm
This watch does everything you could want from a watch! Love this line, sad to see it go! Hopefully Garmin continues the tactix line. Being military and in need the special functions like, The ability to mute any light and stop all communications is a must! As well as the zeroise ability! Perfecto! The flashlight comes in handle more then I imagined it would. Again flawless execution from Garmin! I do long range shooting at work and for fun and having the AB on my watch is much better then I was expecting, love this thing for all the normal uses as well as the military aspects ... show more
