The Garmin tactix® 8 Solar GPS redefines the tactical / survival smartwatch and includes the Applied Ballistics Ultralight™ Solver.

This advanced tactical GPS smartwatch features a bright 1.4-inch solar charged display, titanium bezel and sapphire lens, and enhanced graphical interface. It’s tested to U.S. military standards for thermal, shock and water resistance. Dedicated tactical features include a jumpmaster activity, waypoint projection, dual-position GPS format, stealth mode, kill switch, compatibility with night vision goggles and rucking activity.

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. The preloaded Applied Ballistics solver gives you access to aiming solutions for long-range shooting in the field. With a 40-meter dive rating, you’re ready to go to greater depths than ever with support for scuba and apnea dive activities.

To help guide your way in low-light conditions, a built-in multicolor 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 Capable – 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 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 – Navigate straight to a location or waypoint in the worldwide aeronautical database. Or choose the Nearest function to activate a path to a nearby airport.
• Weather Reports – Access aviation weather, including NEXRAD radar, METARs and TAFs, to see winds, visibility, barometric pressure and more.
• Applied Ballistics Quantum App – Download the AB Quantum mobile app on your compatible Apple^® or Android^™ smartphone to manage profiles and targets or use your smartphone as an additional display.

The Garmin tactix® 8 Solar also features a full suite of activity tracking, health monitoring, navigation support with SATIQ technology, and connectivity and communication with compatible Apple^® or Android^™ devices.
