GarminGarmin tactix 7, Pro Edition, Ruggedly Built Tactical GPS Watch with Solar Charging Capabilities and Nylon Band

I’ve been using this watch for months now, absolutely my favorite watch I’ve ever owned, so many features that take time to learn but will definitely help you with everything you need or want! Battery life is pretty good for a watch that can do everything this can, the more features you track on your Home Screen the faster the battery will die, I track my workouts and my sleep and id say I charge averagely every 17 days, I’ve also used this for backpacking and the gps works flawlessly! I know some people complain on the brightness but really it isn’t that bad.

essentially a fenix 7pro solar (whatever they call them)but with clicky buttons and in all blackand military features and A GREEN LED FLASHLIGHT, YESSSSSSSS!!!honestly one of my buying points for surei saw mostly all the garmin watches with RED built-in flashlight modeyet noticing green shows more visibility at night to our human eyes than redso if you wanna be dark yet still see, green is a better choicebut yeah overall HUGE upgrade from my instinct 2x solarthe graphs and more data on the screen while doing activities makes this an insane upgradelike, i can see a colored heart rate graph colored by my HR zones nowwhich i definitely couldn't do on a monochromatic (black and white only) instinct 2X screenabsolutely love being able to see zone 2 (blue), zone 3 (green), zone 4 (yellowish), zone 5 (red)heart rate zones show up on the watchbefore i was basically only able to see plain old numbersbut as a visual guy this is huuuuuuugealsofull on maps now vs breadcrumb style maps beforeagain, very happy with my upgrade.also/lastly, the nap detection/timer feature is also a big plus for me as wellhaving the sleep couch allowing me to see when i get bad sleepand then calculate that i should need less sleep tonight because i took a big napis also really nicewhich i also didn't have beforeagain, veryyyyyyy happy with all the upgrades i got

Does everything I have ever wanted a watch to do, I came from a pebble and this is like the modern equivalent of the best version of a pebble. I can get nearly a month of batter without too much solar exposure (winter in the north). I thought the flashlight was kind of a dumb addition but it's easily the most used thing on this watch for me somehow, works pretty decent in dense woods at night using the green setting I've gotten myself out with only that. GPS capability has saved me on multiple occasions and is very accurate. If you're considering it, just do it.

The watch and features are awesome. Unfortunately, I didn't keep it long. The display just wasn't bright enough for me, even on 100% display brightness setting. They say it has maybe to do with the solar/Sapphire glass, but I don't know.It has the gesture movement feature where it brightens up when you look at it. But not being bright, it didn't help. You basically have a dark screen on your wrist.So if you're looking for a watch that POPS! with a bright, cool looking technical display, this isn't the watch.Other than that, it's a bad ass piece of equipment.

Going on 3 years of constant wear and it’s holding up beautifully. I have yet to scratch the glass so I’ll definitely buy another one when the day comes. I have it set up where I have some of the fancy features off and I get about 20 days realistically per charge. I love this watch and it has gotten me off some sketchy trails when I needed it to. Would recommend if you’re looking for a gpa watch.

This is an amazing watch. I traded in my Garmin epix to get this and do not regret it one bit.Super rugged and well built with all the great heath feature and apps you need when it comes to fitness tracking. The tactical feature are great and easy to use. Looks great. I only dislike the bands. The nylon band is too tough, probably just needs to be broken in, but it’s either too tight or too loose.The silicone band is the same thing but irritates my skin. I ended up getting a rugged watch band from Amazon and it works perfectly since it can be tighter perfectly. 10/10 would recommend.

1 year 6 months and one button is malfunctioning. This is a very expensive watch with very poor quality. Won’t buy one again.

So far garmin has not disappointed me has all the bells and whistles that I need so far really good battery life
