You'll get as much as 120 hours in GPS mode using the max battery feature. In smartwatch mode, you'll get up to 21 days battery from a single charge – only three days less than the solar version. You'll get seriously impressive battery in this watch too. It's hard to find fault with the colour display, as Garmin really is leading the market when it comes to usability. You can pick and chose the features and order in which you'd like them to appear in the main menu, activity and apps section or quick widgets list. The best thing about the interface is it's entirely customisable. There's very little lag when toggling between screens during activities, and buttons respond easily with a simple click. Five buttons control everything and can be customised to accommodate a range of shortcuts and menus. You won't get a touch screen with this watch, but in this journalist's opinion, that's no big loss. Garmin Tactix Delta review: Build and design If you did ever find yourself unfortunate enough to be in a position where you needed to hide from an intruder in your home, the feature quickly turns off wireless connectivity, so you won't have unwanted notifications sounding out at the worst possible time.
That comes in handy for anyone doing large-scale adventuring or mountaineering, as does the projected waypoint feature.Īnd while the Kill Switch, which wipes the watch in 10 seconds, may not be necessary outside of a warzone, Stealth Mode could actually be a life saver. The dual-position format lets you sync your location with others by seeing both the universal transverse mercator (UTM) and military grid reference system (MGRS) on the same screen. This makes it perfect for anyone with an interest in airborne action sports, or even those who fancy trying sky diving and are interested in the nitty gritty stats. Jumpster mode allows you to measure the altitude of a sky dive and navigate to a point of interest once you're in the air. Probably one for the military, but it could also come in handy for those very serious paintballers out there. The night vision capability means you can switch the view on the watch, allowing it to be read by night vision googles. And if you are in the military, or even law enforcement, this watch could become an essential piece of your gear. But a few could come in handy depending on your lifestyle, while others are just plain cool to have on your wrist. We know they might not be a necessity for everyone, and some of you may never use them at all. There's even golf course mapping for your days off.Īnd now for the Delta's specialty – the tactical features.
Add on weather, sunset, alternate time zones, an altimeter and a compass, and you're set for any adventure. It boasts turn-by-turn navigation, topographical and ski maps, and a climbing tracker, all accessed using multiple global navigation satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) to track more challenging environments than GPS alone. The Delta excels as an adventure watch, as well. The latter will detect if an incident occurs and immediately send a notification to your emergency contacts. The Delta also comes with Garmin Pay, music storage including Spotify, smart notifications and safety tracking. Not to mention the Garmin Coach feature which stores your training program on your wrist.Īs is standard in most of Garmin's premium watches, you'll get everything you need to monitor your training progress no matter your sport or fitness level. When it comes to tracking your fitness you can make the most of a huge range of sports apps and animated workouts, wrist-based heart rate, VO2 max measuring, training status performance metrics, as well as body battery, sleep, calorie and step tracking. The Tactix Delta bears virtually all of the features as the Garmin Fenix 6X Sapphire, with the addition of the special tactical apps.
