[@mwilliams2101]

Pretty awesome kit. Blows my mind Garmin can pull out weeks of battery life and other competitors struggle to give you 24hrs of smart watch capability per charge.

[@StefanDrury]

Yes I agree, the battery life is really impressive in all their watches but this one is just crazy.

[@pjotrtje0NL]

The Mk1 and Mk1 Pro are huuuge, compared to e.g. an Apple Watch. I guess that’s because of the size of the battery…

[@tiadaid]

By competitors, which brands are you benchmarking against? If it's against consumer watches such as Apple & Samsung, well it's hardly a fair comparison now isn't it?

[@ItsEverythingElse]

@@tiadaid All Garmin watches have great battery life.

[@MrCrowleyCycling]

It's true I've had my instinct x2solar on for 2 weeks and still has 30days left of battery. OBV no touch screen but idc most of the time.

[@breadbot999]

I'm a student pilot and I am trying soooooo hard to convince myself I don't need one I did get a Bose A30 as a gift from my parents when I started out so I hope this appears under the Christmas tree this year :)

[@michaelcreek4035]

My goodness, can I borrow your parents?

[@franciscofoy414]

If you have the Bose Headphones go ahead and get the watch !

[@jillisslingerland9726]

work harder haha

[@flywithjohn6385]

Love your work. You're one of those channels that inspires me to do what I do.

[@StefanDrury]

Thanks John, I really appreciate you saying that.

[@spiro5327]

Thanks for the review Stef, and those red frames still look great on you. Thanks mate

[@StefanDrury]

Thanks as always Spiro, glad you found it useful.

[@weiniesail]

Between the g1000 and an iPad, the last thing I need is a tiny electronic watch to screw around with. I'll take a classic analog any day.

[@PilotPrysten]

wish I had one they seem so cool

[@PedroThePortuguesePilot]

Well done my man!!

[@ted363636]

Love Garmin since I've switched to it like 5 years ago. But I prefer MIP display over AMOLED for many reasons. Hopefully they won't abandon them fully but from what I can tell the aviation line is no longer offered with a MIP variant :/

[@jfpilot7100]

Nice review, as always. Still, having already an Mach 1, I will skill the upgrade. As the "only" benefits are the torch and longer battery life; also as it was a present from my wife. BTW you also made me realise that the red shift is available also on the Mach 1 :)

[@orangejuicepony6881]

I just got the 7X Solar Sapphire with Titanium band for $900, it was 50% off in the black Friday sales

[@RancidLimes89]

Do you know if we can use these features on our 7XSS?

[@matsalleh07]

Is this a watch you can use as a passenger in a liner flight? Or does it have to be linked to the flightplan?

[@agnyphyo13]

Hi Stefan, Planning to get a Garmin Aviation Watch My question to you is to get those METARs, Weather, ATIS on display, does it need to connect with the app first or they are showing themselves without connecting anything?

[@aaronm859]

What motorsports are there on the Garmin watch, it would be pretty cool if they have karting or car racing on there

[@JorgeGomez-lw9xo]

Could you us that watch to navigate in case of your GPS failing or you get disoriented?

[@user-sd4it6fl4h]

You video states "the heart rate monitor (those little green lights) are in the same place" which is not entirely true: the Pro has Elevate V5 which is a newer/better HRM with more lights AND supports ECG measurement. The regular D2M1 has older Elevate V4 which does not have these upgrades.

[@pepteta2265]

thanks for the nice vid.. so which one is better for an airline pilots.. this one or the garmin aviator.. ? or the are the same ?

[@moju4290]

hi i love your videos. i have one question or you may say suggestion. can you please suggest watch for Rotary wing pilot that which aviation watch is good for it?

[@rudolfabelin383]

Wow Stefan! What a watch! You know, Stefan is a pretty common name here in Sweden. Best Greetings.

[@codaxnz4911]

I landed right before your take off clearance yesterday… thought it may have been in this video 😅

[@StefanDrury]

That would have been a quick edit! Hope you had a good flight.

[@maulanahoward1838]

Can you please compare it to the D2 Air? Is it worth the price difference?

[@Pianist7137Gaming]

Does the moving map work across the globe or only in US? for some reason the garmin store in my country doesn't carry this model.

[@CalBart42]

this may be a silly question as i am not a pilot... but what if your auto pilot went out and you needed to use your torch in heavy turbulence... the Garmin is on your yolk hand which would be busy keeping the plane stable? having said that it looks very stylish and full of brilliant features

[@stjepannikolic5418]

all these watch features are generally a b$.. The maps are barely readable, touch screen is useless in turbulence.. A $10 head lamp with red filter from Bunnings is all a pilot need.. however, buying this watch, you are buying "the status"..

[@jamesleicher]

4:50 good luck lefty's lol has it got 007 sound intro

[@jetrider2011]

With those watches do you need to connect to systems on the aircraft eg the altimeter. As it would be cool to use on commercial flights

[@PilotLyons]

No one ever answers this question. I've asked it numerous times

[@christiaanschoeman6693]

One thing I honestly think that Garmin needs to look at is radiation exposure monitor. That is the one thing that will make all commercial pilots buy it.

[@user-dw8ud2hw5d]

does it have the new dual frequencies GPS and more importantly, does it work inside the cabin section of a commercial jet. The D1 failed to work in a commercial jet.

[@kyliepug753]

Hey Steven, I have the D2 Mach 1. Have you had any problems with your watch not autologging flights? It worked initially but stopped. I’ve even reset to factory conditions and no bueno.

[@StefanDrury]

Hey, I don't actually have my M1 set to autolog flights so I haven't experienced what you mention. I remember there were settings for speed / climb rate I think to auto start the activity, have you played with those settings and made sure you're reaching those thresholds on flights?

[@kyliepug753]

Yup, played around with them all.

[@dmorokov]

Good review, sir. However, the biggest disadvantage is that it requires one of your arms to be bent and illuminate the dashboard instead of flying or operating. Also, we all know that Cirrus has a side stick and your left hand should be on it and not messing with a watch.

[@engineerinnewyork]

It looks like the watch is actually meant to be worn on the right wrist, which obviates both objections

[@ujinxedit]

Mild overkill for a private pilot... Doesn't make me want one any less though! I'll try and stick to my trusty D2 Air.

[@michaelcreek4035]

Yes, the trusty D2 Air will have to do for me too

[@Wissmann80]

Does it come with a LTE or 5G connection?

[@PureGlide]

Incredible battery life. But the user interface looks so sluggish. But speeding it up would increase battery use...

[@francertawele3858]

I'm a planner can I buy the watch for my collection and the love for technology?

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

I'd like you to compare the accuracy?🌏🇭🇲

[@Bravo2904]

can i come for a joyflight with you

[@isabellepatriarche8155]

Does this thing have a powerful and sufficient buzzer to feel strong tactile alarms when you fly with an headset on your ears ? Apple Watch Ultra has one. D2 Mach 1 has not. That’s the unique reason why I fly with an Apple Watch Ultra.

[@franciscofoy414]

I can't seem to set my home airport and there is no Manual step by step can you help?

[@savagecub]

I like it. I can afford it………..I just wish it was offered in silver.

[@joaovictormarques4874]

Are there social media apps on this watch? For example, receive notificacion from WhatsApp or Instagram…

[@Henry1981live]

Hey mate are you base in AU? I have seen you have an ASIC card right there :)

[@conned]

We wear headtorch for night IFR...

[@S1baar]

i just checked and this watch is $2000 whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@derrick021]

ah the music

[@kyokiory]

Garmin has a focus more on athletic people who use this type of watch for high performance, an Apple watch is more for not using the cell phone as much as Samsung and they are people who do occasional physical activity.

[@life.with.sabine]

Serviceable to me means can it be repaired.

[@Stwutter1973]

"This video is sponsored by Garmin".

[@mmmarcd]

You might want to wear your watch on your other arm that isn't needed to control the plane ! :)

[@lauritshjulskov3301]

I still think the Garmin D2 Air X10 is the most beautiful aviation watch published yet...

[@Sniper_Man_Clips]

First Whoa mate first, I love the vids

Thanks for being here early!

[@hypercomms2001]

Spot the product placement…. Still it is a job…got to earn an income somehow….

[@markjones2781]

1.3 inch face vs 1.4 inch face just doesn't make sense, Stefan. Don't mix your imperial and your metric measurements. Imperial just doesn't have points. They are 1/16ths, 3/8ths, or whatever. Like, 3.28084 ft to the metre is an arithmetic nightmare.

[@Garythefireman66]

Honestly, most watches are universally measured in millimeters, even here in the US

[@michaelcreek4035]

I have a steel ruler with 10ths of an inch on it since high school, not that I can see the markings the eyesight has certainly declined since 1979
