Amazing
This is not my first Garmin watch. But this watch shows that Garmin has done a great job of improving its products. Lots of new useful and necessary functions. Durability and reliability in operation - that's what you expect from Garmin and you get exactly that!

Nice Upgrade from an Apple Ultra 2
I recently purchased my Garmin Tactix 8 51 mm AMOLED after becoming increasingly frustrated with the Apple Watch Ultra 2 battery life and activity tracking capabilities. I have owned previous generations of the Garmin Fenix watch but switched to the Apple Ultra for compatibility with the Apple ecosystem. Now, with the improved features on the Tactix 8 that accommodate calls and messages, improved screen quality, battery life and broad activity tracking capabilities, I decided to switch back to Garmin. Wow - I am more impressed with the Tactix 8 than I could have imagined. Build quality and feature functionality have come a long way and fit my smart watch needs perfectly. A recent trip through Glacier National Park, training exercises of all types, sleep tracking/coaching, navigation and wearability have been put to the test over the past couple of weeks - what an improvement over past generations of Garmin and the Apple Watch Ultra 2! The watch is expensive but as an active outdoor sports and activity enthusiast the price is worth it. I highly recommend the Tactix 8!

Phenomenal Watch!!
Recently upgraded from a Fenix 7x Pro to the Tactix 8 AMOLED 51mm. By far the best watch I’ve ever owned. The features, durability, 29 day battery life and beautiful display are perfect!

Best option out there
I have owned a lot of watches and this is by far the best. My last one was the Apple Watch Ultra and it is not on par with this watch. I highly recommend this watch for any outdoor enthusiasts and survivalist.

Highly recommend
I have been through a lot of different watches with little success of finding exactly what I wanted. Well I can honestly say this watch checks all of the boxes. It is a little pricey but in my opinion worth every cent.

Watch is top notch
I recently picked up the Garmin Tactix 8, and I have to say—this watch is an absolute beast. Built for tactical use but versatile enough for everyday wear, it’s exceeded my expectations in nearly every category.

Excellent, but not perfect.
While I am not a "Power" user, I do love the functionality and battery life of the watch. The only thing I wish it had was removable spring bars to increase the strap options and make it a solid contender for an all-around everyday dress/tool watch. Then it would be perfect for me.

This Watch Does It All
I have used various smart watches in the past. Being a long-term iPhone user I brought into the hype and used them for years as well. I've tried other competing brands of smart watches i. .e Polar and I believe that overall none compares to the features and function of the Tactix 8 Ambled. It has the most complete availability of health, watch face, and applications for downloading. But for me the best has been the GPS, Map, and ballistic functions. Totally outstanding! Even with my wrist being slightly under 7" I purchased the 51 mm option for the readability of lots of data on the watch face. All in all I am well pleased with my purchase.

Incredible device for the active lifestyle
Got this as a gift. It’s my first watch ever. Having GPS tracking on hikes constantly on my wrist, telling me pace and letting me mark points of interest is awesome. I also love tracking my health and exercise daily. It’s truly a very handy piece of gear that I don’t take off anymore.

A fantastic sportsman's watch!
I've had many Garmin watches over the years and have really enjoyed all of them. This watch is by far my favorite overall. I feel it looks better than the Fenix watch that I had before, looking very rugged yet upscale. So far my software and everything has worked perfectly. No complaints at all.

Great new features but not a strong as the fenix 6
Don’t get me wrong I love this watch but I am disappointed that for the money my screen has a scratch on it from normal wear. My fenix 6 pro took a year and a half before showing signs of wear. This watch only lasted a couple months and already a small scratch. I wish it was built a bit better.

Packed with so many features. I love it!
The battery last a long time. 29 days. Packed with so many features I’m still learning them all. I highly recommend it. The display is bright and easy to see under low light conditions.
