Garmin D2 Air X10 vs. Mach 1 Aviator Smartwatch Showdown

[@harrygodwin9956]

Great Review 👍🏾

[@fernandocs4783]

One of the best reviews I have seen online of the actual features of the watches, and a great comparison between the two as well. One suggestion would be to also discuss in some more detail the physical characteristics of the two watches; i.e., how big they are and how they wear, particularly between the two of them. That may be important to a lot of people who have not physically seen the watches. Oh, and you might consider not wearing your apple watch during the unboxings! :-) Nice job

Thanks for watching, Fernando!

Its seems the access for aviation weather, including NEXRAD, METARs, MOS (is only available for US airports) which makes this watch kind of useless for flying anywhere other than the US, plus the following limitations are for Utilize the Pulse Ox (not available in all countries). 👎

Great video! Thanks for posting up these detailed comparisons! I love the Mach watches, but oof, they are expen-size! I am very interested in the D2 Air X10 - it has the look that I wish my Venu 2 has... Black with the chrome trim and even the more aggressive hour indicators on the watch body. I see that the first thing that pulls up when you press the top right button is the Fly activity. I'm not actually involved in flight at all currently, and like I said, I just enjoy the design of this one vs the Venu 2 Plus. Question: Can the Fly action be moved or disabled when pressing the top right button? I'd love to wear this one as my activity tracking watch, but just no need for the flight stuff distracting me. Any insight is appreciated!

Hey, Cory. They can definitely get a little pricy, but for all they do, it seems about right - especially considering most phones are in the same price range. And yes, you can customize your settings to set up the buttons and shortcuts on the watch. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

[@CoryBurke]

@@MidwestPanels Thanks for getting back! That info helps. :) For that cost, I do wish the Mach watches (and even the Epix lineup) also included the mic/speaker like the Venu 2 Plus (D2 Air X10) to allow you to answer the phone in a pinch and also, more importantly, to use your voice to bring up your phone Voice Assistant. The Mach watches are SO feature rich and look SO good, if they included the voice features I would be hard pressed not to spend the extra bucks and get one of those watches. Perhaps in a coming up version they will include that!

Yes

Great review. I got D2 X10 but I couldn't see and access all those 50 Contacts with Phone Numbers on this X10 Watch itself which were set/added up in Garmin Connect app on my Goggle Pixel 6a so I couldn't tap dial/call any of those contact directly on the X10 watch. What about you? Any solution?

[@BobbyHalsema]

Снова напрягаешь казино) получилось как всегда офигенно! Давай в след раз новые игры может?

[@davidkgama8046]

Yes is good

[@svenf1]

Thx for that comparison, but why would you show mainly your hands and what you want to show is super small in the center..?

[@jamesminton3358]

Wish you would have filmed more watch less hands. Really hard to see whats going on for someone unfamiliar with these smart watches.

[@jibransadozai8294]

Has d2 x10 got the speaker to take calls on watch itself?

[@notslim1]

I just won a D2 Air X10 in a giveaway. It should be here after the weekend. Aviation stuff isnt important to me and I see that its essentially the same watch as a Venu 2 but with the flying features.

[@sidestick78]

It seems to be unuseful for commercial pilot, am I right? Once the mobile is off you don’t get any updates but probably only the gps

[@MidwestPanels]

Yes, unfortunately you are correct and we have made mention to Garmin about this.

[@wadsworth2351]

Am i still in time for that giveaway? If not, are any more giveaways coming?

[@MidwestPanels]

This one is long gone, we have a GDL 52 and one year of service we are giving away at our build seminar next month.

[@dschubi01]

Funny he was wearing an Apple Watch in the first part which he apparently realized later and took it off.

[@MidwestPanels]

No, we do not hide that we like the Apple Watch as well. This was just a review of the new Garmin Watch. What really happened is the Apple Watch was taken off to use the Garmin watch before continuing with the presentation.

[@jimmy_roffa]

Awesome video! Will it work on the Garmin Pilot flight simulator/xplane mode?

[@MidwestPanels]

Hey, Jim. Unfortunately, no, it won't. But thank you for the feedback and thanks for watching!

[@davidkgama8046]

Okay

[@andreabuiatti7521]

aMAZING!

[@amyyern9507]

Can you use the Mach 1 as a phone?
