🚨 Hey folks, looks like a phishing account posted something about a giveaway in the comments section. I did not post those messages and please ignore if you received that reply.

i love the thoroughness of your reviews, very professional

[Ivesy]

Mate you are a very well mannered polite person this comes across in all your videos and I’m sure it’s why you have such a good following bravo

Tactix just looks better with the flat faced case.

Fenix 7x has been awesome and super functional. Phone call, messages and mobile pay work flawlessly. Sleep and activity tracker compare with almost anything in the market. Better yet a month of battery life. Expensive but a solid buy.
I also like the look of Tactix but not for what it offers to a guy that's not Tom Cruz or active military.

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.

Des,

Thank you, love your channel and reviews! FYI as of 5-28-23 AMZ. has the Tactix 7 Standard listed at: $849.88! Was going to go for a 7X with the current sale but went this route VIA your affiliate link. Thank you again for all you do, much appreciated!

This review is fantastic, not even Garmin could do it better. 🤩 ... my honest opinion is that Garmin Fenix 7x is the major concept...tactix, Enduro and so on are different adjustments to catch the attention of specific group of customers without actually making a really different watch...I would say it is more a marketing operation rather than a production one.

the best review for making a $1200+ decision ❤

[off-roadingcars]

Thank you for doing all these detailed reviews!

[jelyder]

Great review and I love you being honest about areas where you are not an expert (e.g. like aviation)!

[ArobertsUSMC]

What an awesome review man. You made my buying experience very pleasant and to the point. Nailed it brother 👌 and best of luck to you. Subscribed and like button smashed 👍

[champagnebatsman]

Excellent review as always. Got my Tactix 7 Pro and am loving it.

[michaellanger]

Looking forward to seeing your video about the Tactixs 8 😉

[fatbikemontage]

Excellent video, not many people have demonstrated this watch. I have the previous generation version, and the big benefit was the more resilient case and glass compared to the Fenix 6. But now they have the same case material and glass. I think unless I am in need of those tactical features (and I don’t) then the price difference is too high for the style differences and nylon strap.

Doesn’t mean I don’t still want one.

Was waiting to see when you would do this comparison....thanks

Time another question...Does the Garmin Tactix 7 Pro have a DLC titanium coating, like the Garmin Fenix 7X Sapphire? Since it is not mentioned on the Garmin page!

[hansmaier]

The green light is there to make it compatible to nato night vision goggles. They dont amplify light of a wavelength from about 510 to 540 nanometers which happens to be green light. The whole subject is a little bit more complicated but that sums it up.

[DarkFire]

Really informative video, thanks for posting this.

[MrSteve-hyyo]

Maybe someone in those fields would benefit for those extra features on the Tactix but being a long distrance trail runner, I don't see how those additional features can equal to $500-$600 more than the most expensive Fenix 7X. I just don't see how garmin can charge so much.
