It is impressive to see how Garmin manages to produce « new » watches every couple of months … I don’t know how the consumer doesn’t get lost with so many SKUs, and I don’t know how they manage to sustain this. Software has a bit of this for this model, a bit of that for this one etc. I own both Epix 2 and AWU2, love and use both for different purposes - but feeling much less lost with regards to software and hardware consistency with AW. Not talking specifically about Tactix, just a general feeling as a normal human and consumer of these gadgets.

the red light preserves our pupil-largening natural night vision. the green is for under nods (night vision goggles) that either uses a green or white filter, to put it simply, to function, so you're not worried about your natural night vision & the green shows up way brighter than red.

The key red coloured features on a map that wouldn’t show up under red light are the contour lines showing the topography. These are critical to military map reading, allowing service people to understand the shape of the ground and use it to their advantage for concealment and cover when manoeuvring.

Green is Night vision goggle friendly. As for map reading on 1 over 50,000ths red I think works better. Maps such a 1 over 50,000ths are green due to vegetation which using green light on green map is difficult. I have flown in the army as an aviator and NVG helicopters has modified cockpit lights that are blue green but that was in the 1980's perhaps things have changed.

At 12:20 - Using different colors of light in tactical situations can significantly impact visibility and stealth. Here’s how green and red lights typically perform in outdoor tactical scenarios: 1. Red Light: - Visibility: Red light is often used because it preserves night vision. The human eye is less sensitive to red light, so using it in dark conditions allows the eyes to stay adapted to low-light environments. This means you can see the red light without your eyes needing to adjust much from the darkness. - Stealth: Red light is less likely to be seen from a distance, making it a good choice for operations where stealth is critical. It doesn't scatter in the air as much as other colors, which means it has a lower visual signature. - Applications: It’s commonly used in situations where you need to read maps, navigate, or perform tasks without alerting others to your presence. 2. Green Light: - Visibility: Green light is brighter and more visible to the human eye under low-light conditions compared to red light. This means it can improve clarity and definition of objects better than red light, which is helpful in complex environments or where detail is necessary. - Stealth: Although green light provides better visibility, it also means it’s more likely to be visible to others. It can be seen from greater distances than red light, which might compromise stealth in certain situations. - Applications: Green light is often used by hunters and in military operations where higher visibility is required for moving through rugged terrain or identifying targets more clearly. Conclusion: Choosing between red and green light depends on your specific needs for visibility and stealth. Red light is optimal for low visibility needs where staying hidden is a priority, while green light is suitable when you need better visibility of the environment but can afford a slight compromise on stealth.

I had that same nylon band with my Garmin Enduro 2. I bought it separately, it didn't come with the watch. It's a really cool, rugged-looking band but man, is it uncomfortable. Even after 6 months of use it was still uncomfortable and I also found that it started to fray at the ends way too quickly, like within a couple of weeks of wearing it, it had already started to fray. I ended up selling the watch and getting an Apple Watch Ultra. Quite different watches but the Apple Watch is way smarter in my opinion. BUT if you need crazy battery life or detailed navigation then Garmin is better.

Great review. I have a question that I haven't been able to find an answer for. It appears that the Tactix line of watches are loaded with maps for the region in which you buy them. US maps for watches bought in the US, Japan maps for watches bought in Japan, etc. That would seem to make them less useful for travelers. Is there a way to add maps for different regions?
@ChaseTheSummit
@ChaseTheSummit 7 ай бұрын
Yes, they come pre-loaded with regional maps just like the other Garmins (fenix/epix line). You can install additional maps for more coverage, and more advanced maps like hunting, and satellite imagery if you want to upgrade to Maps+ which is subscription based ($50/year)

It's really easy to load additional maps (or remove them) using the Express app on a PC or Mac. I've recently visited the States, and it took a few minutes to load the topo. Outdoor + is completely useless outside the US, however: it's just an aerial photo overlay.

just hone in on what you need. it's overwhelming at first, but each really has their role. it has less to do with cheap marketing tactics and more that, as a customer, you have to know what you need/want. for general fitness or running the 245 is usually the most a lot of people need. it gets more complex if you're doing multi-sport activities (bi/triathalon), or if you need workouts on the watch, or if you want a gps map/way point finding vs just gps for recording activities.

The green light is better for night vision you can see better with lower nits in green than in red. If we look at the interval between the sensitivity of rods (P) and cones (S) we can easily conclude that blue-green light (near 500 nm) would be the best headlamp light color to preserve night vision, where the interval is greatest. We can detect more light at lower brightness in that color.

The description on Garmin website says “adaptive display”. What is that and Does the Epix pro have this?
@ChaseTheSummit
@ChaseTheSummit 3 ай бұрын
I think that's just referring to the adaptive auto brightness setting. There's a sensor on the front of the watch that adjusts brightness to your surroundings. Epix Pro has this as well.

Green light doesn’t reflect off foliage as much. Supposedly it gets absorbed more by plants so you depth perception is better also.

You sure? Foliage is typically green, meaning it is _mostly_ reflecting green not so much other colours.

Was going to order the tactix pro but screen looks dim. Might want the amoled. I currently got a galaxy active watch super oled so I'm guessing the pro would be dim

If you want something similar to your Samsung go for the Tactix AMOLED

@@ChaseTheSummitI wanted and needed the AMOLED model 😂 I’ve had it for 2 days. Love it! I wish they had better watch faces though but besides that best watch out now. Thx for the video showing off everything. I always got ads for one of those Alpha tactical watches on instagram and then realized they were basically a $39 Amazon watch overpriced and then ended up here watching your review on this watch.

Nope, with AOD on it's more like 11 or 12 days.

You don't need to if you're happy with what you have. The AMOLED version just has an updated heart rate sensor and the brighter display.

if you had 1200 budget for another watch which would you buy Chase and why? I already have a Garmin 965 apple watch series 8 and an apple watch ultra 1. Anyone can chime in I am going to buy at play better through your channel.

What don't you like about the 965, and apple watch? Those are two of the best... so I guess I'd try to understand what they're missing before you spend more money. Or do you just want something more premium?

They’re basically the same Watch. The Tactix just has a few “tactical” features that the Epix doesn’t and a flatter bezel.

Meanwhile Floyd Mayweather and other Rolex watch consumers continue to spend between 💲10 000.00-💲18million if not more on Rolex watches lol. I wouldn't feel the least guilty about buying a practical durable watch for $2000.00 at most lol. I have a couple Garmin smartwatches and I'm good. Tactix 7 AMOLED looks nice.
