I was on the edge to upgrade my Fenix 5X plus for Fenix 7x or even a Epix 2 for his amazing AMOLED screen but the limited battery life and the missing flashlight makes me think twice. But with a tactix 7, I got a Fenix 7x with aviation capabilities like METAR (airport weather forecast) and TAF (predictions for weather forecast), moving map with radio navaids and airports, radio frequencies, everything I need as a student pilot. Great back up if the flying instruments shut down. peace of mind. I learned from my military background that « 2 is 1 and 1 is nothing ». Thanks for sharing great content on your channel.

The cost difference for the highest model is primarily in the Applied Ballistics software and capabilities, which is very expensive and the 'de facto' ballistics software used for long range shooting calculations. The less expensive models have the nylon bands and other features that add the relatively smaller increased cost.

Thanks for your review! It almost seems that the “base” Tactix might hit that sweet spot that you can’t get in a full size Fenix7x… which is a full size watch with the flashlight but none of the solar to “cloud up” the screen. Do you think the non-solar Tactix would be more viewable because of this? I love my Fenix 7x pro solar, but have to admit that those extra layers of solar, touch an sapphire have made the screen pretty aweful compared to the previous top of the line Fenix 6x. Thanks

@DesFit

I don't think the removal of solar would make any difference - it's more of sapphire vs non-sapphire. There is a slight difference between the Tactix 7 Pro vs the Fenix 7X Solar (non-sapphire) that are shown in the video whereas the sapphire has a little bit more glare at some angles.

@mantykarhu

My Fēnix 7 sapphire titanium pro was very clear and crisp. Tried the 6s and it had poor contrast oddly. Got the 7x SS and it’s by far the most cloudy screen. I’ve been experimenting with various versions, and I don’t think it’s the sapphire unless it’s something unique to Garmin’s sapphire crystal. I have high end watches with sapphire that are perfectly clear head on-maybe some glare to the side. Personally, I think it may be a combination of factors for the 7, but the main one may be the touchscreen layer. Not sure though, many companies can achieve perfectly clear screens with touchscreens. I also tried the 7 Solar with no sapphire glass and it was still cloudy looking. My 6 Pro Titanium was VERY clear but no solar. Anyone with a non-solar 7 able to weigh in?

@@mantykarhu I pulled the trigger and ordered a Tactix 7 (from a trusted company with a great return policy) to compare side by side to my Fenix 7xPro Solar Sapphire. I could tell an immediate difference in general "readability" of the screens. I have managed to get some good pics that are pretty explanatory, but I guess can't post on here. The lettering on the Tactix is just brighter, crisper and easier to see in everyday settings. The black background looks blacker and makes the black background of the 7x look slightly maroon. Not to mention, the absence of the solar ring is just cleaner. I've not seen significant gains in battery from the last two generations of solar Fenix's that I've owned, so doing away with that solar layer, in my humble opinion, makes this screen just a bit clearer... enough to be like my good old non-solar Fenix 5 and early 6. I prefer the more modern appearing bezel on the T7 and have already removed most of the "tactical stuff" which I won't use and set it up just like my F7 for running and other regular sports activities. I'm SUPER happy with the standard Tactix and after 4 or 5 straight generational upgrades through the Fenix line, will be selling the F7xSS.

Sapphire is always always always better. Not even sure why there is a debate. It's either you can afford the sapphire or you can't. There is a reason Rolex glass and all other glass of high end watches are sapphire. My tactix 7 pro sapphire solar non ballistics comes in next week. I never thought I'd put down my Rolex but the health data and monitoring of things has become important . GARMIN will be my new primary watch.

As far as accuracy you obviously haven't used one much, because despite the small antenna the accuracy is roughly +/- 5m and the update cycle is far faster than a DAGR. Prior to the Tactix my backup was a 701: similar size, similar antenna, no issues with accuracy or tracking. I still the 701 dismounted as it takes AAA's but I've used the Tactix with the GPS frequently for 11 day light exes without running out of power.

Remember that commercial pilots do get planes with actual instruments in them, and military and police snipers are given ballistic calculators, airborne units are also usually fully equipped, and that more or less means that this watch is there for any private person who for whatever reason think they need the particular data. Of course some will buy it simply for the 'image' that comes with it but for the very vast majority the Fenix 7, in one version or other, will be plenty so satisfy requirements.

The sapphire glass will be just ever so slightly cloudier than the gorilla glass on the non sapphire Fenix 7.

@@DesFit Does Tactix 7 Pro too have sapphire glass ?

Solar or die. I live in the desert and shoot 🔫 in the mountains. Worst case scenario, solar is your best friend. Nice review, I would like to see more of the phone to watch reviews for everyday wear. Thanks 👍

I like design of the bezel. Looks better than the fenix

When will the new tactix 8 pro be released?

It was well over 2 years from the Tactix Detla to the Tactix 7. I'd anticipate quite a while before they release a new version since the 7 just came out last year.

At the end I picked up Fenix 7 instead of 7x because 7x is quite a big watch and it looks like an alarm clock on the wrist , it's quite impractical and annoying during climbing.

hey fellas, I got tactic 7 pro 1,5 year is just daaaamn good quality, way over Apple Watch or samsung. but keep updating, sometimes might get you troubleshooting too(had battery issue, time sync or altimeter problem)

Tactix 7 Standard has Sapphire crystal without the solar ring, I have read it makes for a better display, easier to see, less washed out..

Sapphire in general (regardless of solar charging) is more reflective which may make it seem less clear than gorilla glass. For me, I barely notice it but for others it can make a difference. However, I’m also one who would prefer to worry less about scratches with the activities I do than a minor difference in clarity.

Excellent review.... I just bought a tactix 7 pro My biggest problem is that I can't find the widget hunt.....and one of the reasons that I bought it is that I am a hunter...could you give me a solution please?

It should be available at the bottom of the list of activities (upper right hand button) but if it's not there you should be able to add it (the + option at the bottom of the list). Hope that helps. Thanks!

Depends on what you are looking for but great that they have some options 👍

Does the tactix need to be paired with a phone or internet to use GPS?

No, it has an independent, built in GPS chipset

Is the only difference between the tactix standard and tactix pro just the addition on the nylon strap?

I love the old tactic delta and this one is great but new watch faces are really unreadable, so small! One of the best feature of the old Tactix was the clean design and readable watchface.

Just download one for like 99 cents on the connect store. I have my Charlie running a modified version of the Instinct and it's been perfect.

For me it is the bezel of the Tactix. Period.

Shame that the "hunt" profile is reserved for the Tactix, it would be right at home on the regular Fēnix series watches. While I'm sure there's crossover between military and hunters, I've personally never needed night vision or a Killswitch to hunt Pennsylvania whitetail, but I'd love to have the hunt profile on my 6x pro, I just can't justify the cost of the Tactix for the access to it.

I mean, you never know when a Pennsylvania whitetail may turn the tables on you!

i wonder if Garmin is developing something for astronauts... i mean, there's the Omega Speedmaster that made it to the moon... at this stage, Garmin's watches top shelf watches are so niche in their purpose, yet still desirable for those who don't do those particular activities... much like people who collect fancy diver watches when they don't actually use them to scuba... and im sure those with Garmin MARQ watches don't necessarily drive F1 cars...

I think we even see this with the Fenix line where I am sure there are plenty of people out there who just like them because of the look and/or the status, and more power to them if they have the means to purchase one. No judgement. And it's interesting to see Garmin take it even further with these!

They could add a watch to Marq series but i don’t think it worth the money because the omega speedmaster is analog watch that wearing the omega 3861 calibre to improving the power reserve, chronometric performance and magnetic resistance for that job any Garmin with built in compass will do the same job..
