Garmin Tactix 8 51mm Solar Elite Smartwatch with Applied Ballistics Elite Solver

The Garmin Tactix 8 is built for the mission, wherever it takes you. With the Applied Ballistics Database preloaded, this smartwatch ensures precise ballistic calculations, giving you the edge in any tactical situation. These ultimate tactical GPS smartwatches are equipped with solar charging, offering extended battery life to keep you in the field longer, and a 40-metre dive rating, making them ready for underwater missions as well.

The Tactix 8 is designed with dedicated tactical features, including Jumpmaster activity, waypoint projection, and dual-position GPS format, allowing you to stay on course no matter the environment. The stealth mode and kill switch provide crucial security during critical operations, while its night vision compatibility ensures it can be used with night vision goggles for low-light scenarios. The rucking activity tracking supports your heavy load-bearing training and operations.

With multi-band GPS and SatIQ technology, the Tactix 8 provides superior positioning accuracy, while built-in sensors like the 3-axis compass, gyroscope, and barometric altimeter help guide you through even the toughest terrain. A built-in multi-colour LED flashlight offers quick access to a steady beam of light in either green or white, helping you navigate in low-light conditions. Whether you’re tackling tactical operations, exploring the outdoors, or diving deep, the Garmin Tactix 8 is the perfect companion, designed to perform in the most demanding environments.

FEATURES

Built to endure

This advanced tactical GPS smartwatch features a bright 1.4-inch solar-charged display, titanium bezel, sapphire lens, and an enhanced graphical interface. It’s tested to U.S. military standards for thermal, shock, and water resistance.

You’re in command

Dedicated tactical features include jumpmaster activity, waypoint projection, dual-position GPS format, stealth mode, kill switch, compatibility with night vision goggles, and rucking activity.

Lead the charge

Navigate the outdoors with superior positioning accuracy, thanks to multi-band GPS with SatIQ™ technology plus built-in sensors for the 3-axis compass, gyroscope, and barometric altimeter.

Applied Ballistics

The preloaded Applied Ballistics Elite™ solver gives you access to advanced aiming solutions for long-range shooting in the field.

Recreational diving

With a 40-metre dive rating, you’re ready to go to greater depths than ever with support for scuba and apnoea dive activities.

Built-in flashlight

To help guide your way in low-light conditions, a built-in multicolour LED flashlight provides quick access to a bright, steady beam in either green or white light. In NVG mode, white is disabled, and the green flashlight becomes dimmable.

Night vision capability

Whether viewed under NODs or operating in the dark, NVG mode allows for stealthy operation with controls to further dim brightness and black out the display to reduce detectability.

Stealth mode

While keeping the tool watch operational, stealth mode stops storing and sharing your GPS position and disables wireless connectivity and communication.

Projected waypoints

Set and save remote geo positions to be used later for navigation.

Rucking activity

A dedicated rucking activity profile allows you to input your pack weight.

Direct-to navigation
