The MOST Tactical Watch EVER: Garmin Tactix 7

[@jfilm7466]

I'm so glad that people are still using watches.

[@PNWAffliction]

ey we're sophisticated gentlemen here, they're 'timepieces' ;D

[@3nealweber3]

I’ve had a Garmin tactix for a couple of years now, I’m rough on equipment and this watch is very durable, has everything I want. It’s not cheap bud I’d still give it 5 stars

[@Fronzel.Neekburm]

Does it need the cloud to work correctly? I'm looking for a new watch as my suunto cloud infrastructure was decommission and a lot of stuff no longer works. The Suunto was a great watch apart from the cloud crap.

[@michaellakous311]

Not in the market right now but the watch looks cool. Just here to support and share your channel. Enjoy that new born! Nothing like it in the world. God bless.

[@oorahjoe]

Got that one with the pro balistix. FRIGGIN AMAZING. Feels like the first time I got a smart phone. Complete game changer. I love new gear and kit item reviews. Keep it coming. Liked, shared, and subscribed. Semper Fi DevilDog

[@Len_M.]

Can it connect to a Kestrel? It implies it can connect to a weather meter and range finder. I have the Bushnell that connects to a Kestrel. It would be cool if tactix 7 - Pro Ballistics Edition connects to both.

[@oorahjoe]

@@Len_M. it is now supposed to connect. I haven't set it up yet but I plan to asap

[@Len_M.]

@@oorahjoe Let me know how it works out. I might upgrade my watch if it works good. I have a Fenix 5X Pro Sapphire I bought a few years ago.

[@jorgebercian4219]

Anyone know the name of the watch face he’s using in the video?

[@doctorkj5640]

Tactix has no DLC coating (Delta did) beacause when you scratch DLC there is no way to polish it back whereas with the bare titanium it oxidases naturaly so the scratches are less and less visible.

[@SS-yx3oz]

Great Job Jack! You may have costed me more money lmao! I have an older Garmin Taxtics love it! But the fact of the touch screen is a Huge Plus for me! God Bless!

[@darkoni3677]

Just ordered mine last night, i am super stoked.

[@RockkcoR]

What is the name of the watch face being used in this video? I've seen it before but can't find it now.

[@xfoolsgoldx]

I have a Casio. It's light, accurate, waterproof up to 50m, you can throw it across the room with zero damage and its very cheap to buy( probably about $20 in the states).

[@diedfrombored5295]

Same I have Casio G-Shock, it's literally been through the roughest shit still not a scratch, i've accidentally scraped it across rough concrete walls and just wiped it off and there were no scratches, $17 bucks and has night mode, alarms, programmed countries and cities with synced timezones so if you know you're going somewhere that has a different time zone you can easily switch to theirs. I had a friend that had some expensive GPS watch he lost it in the restroom someone stole it I think he said it was several hundred $$

[@CutlassOutdoors]

Love my Casio. But let’s be honest; it doesn’t compare to this Garmin. Good watch, though.

[@diedfrombored5295]

@@CutlassOutdoors Buy one then

[@CutlassOutdoors]

@@diedfrombored5295 it’s on the wish list for sure, but I have higher priority items ahead of it. Fancy watches come after ammo and training. My Casio and tedious land nav will get me by until then. But someday. Dear Santa…

[@xfoolsgoldx]

@@CutlassOutdoors I would have rather have my Casio and $1000 than the Garmin. If both watches where offered to me and they were both the same price, then I would go for the Garmin. I couldn't tell you until I had worn one for the day if I would keep it as my casio is so lite and comfortable that I hardly know I'm wearing it. If the Garmin was as comfortable then that would be a keeper. Unfortunately the price point is a big issue for me and I would rather spend that extra money elsewhere. There isn't a right answer, just the best option for the individual.

[@WildMaverick]

I'm a garmin advocate at the highest level, great watches...

[@Bryantewilson]

I’m a truck driver and get rewards points at pilot and flying j and the sell the Garmin diesel for $399. So hoping to use rewards points and get a diesel and try and trade it in towards this watch lol

[@markjohn3953]

Is the strap from Garmin called Tactical Nylon Coyote tan? If not, can you share where to buy it and which one strap is that exactly. Thanks in advance!

[@corywest263]

Hopefully it's better than the Garmin instinct that was featured here last year. Bought the Garmin Instinct and returned it within 2 months because I had to reset the watch almost weekly by the end of the first month.

[@Xterminated01]

I’m still using my instinct a year later and thankfully not had this issue.

[@michaelj8793]

Not the biggest fan of digital watches but this watch seems amazing TMI sums it up for me I'm going to stick to quality analog watches and your awesome compass Thank You Sir May I Have Another 👍

[@fearnonebutone4977]

Tactix 7 AMOLED vs epix pro?

[@andreasschulz8389]

Update firmware 13.22 : Garmin has changed the backlight behavior : " The new backlight behavior is the intended result for the v13.22 software update. For example - the backlight will turn on when: - Acquiring GPS to start an outdoor activity or when acquiring GPS to save a location waypoint. - Viewing the Map whether by itself as a feature or within an activity. - Going into the Sunrise & Sunset glance and viewing the Sun position menu on the map." the behavior described above has been introduced by Garmin with update to 13.22, and can NOT be disabled by the user ! The switching on of the lighting in the above mentioned cases is inevitable and can NOT be deactivated by the user. This is also confirmed by Garmin. With this, Garmin has made this actually tactical watch unusable for the military, because there is no option to disable this. I look at the map in the field and give away my position by the light. Life threatening. The problem is discussed in the forum, and Garmin's statement: "This backlight behavior is intentional and we have no plans to change it.

[@johnskitzis6540]

Sweet watch! Thanks for the videos! God Bless!

[@tarakuki4387]

Hi! Awesome video, you actually made me buy one :) I'd just like to ask where you got that green nylon strap? Thanks!

[@edb8067]

Looks way good. Thanks for the vids

[@casca7389]

Where did you get the strap from? Thanks

I just got an orient ray raven 2. It's an automatic with good lume. Just need a compass for it now.

That’s a sweet watch, I have the Garman tactical in coyote.

[@HumbleCowboy92]

I watched this videos because I am thinking about putting that strap on my Garmin Instinct 2X. Have you ever had any issues with the QuickFit mechanism? It seems like it could be a potential fail point

[@adhdude2854]

I hate money. I need this :)

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

😂 me too

[@112233or1]

Can you please tell me where you got the tan watch band please

Nice watch, which I hadn’t bought the POJ I did get.

[@arcane.ranger]

Only a 1 year warranty, Garmin's are breaking around 14 or 15 months in..

Which watch face is that?

[@Snow0255]

I would like to see if it can handle my job. Snowmaking in the winter and pipe work in the summer I had the garmin forerunner it made it like 2 weeks.

[@petregeorgescu3942]

Hello, I really like the strap. Is it the COYOTE Tan model, please?

[@Nigriff]

Yes

[@OutdoorsWithShawn]

Interesting watch, but $1300 is a bit out of my budget.

[@RBS4658]

I see the ballistic model for $1600, too rich for my blood

[@88Grayman]

Dam I’m a cheapskate. I can’t spare more than $200

[@sum1whonos2witnessesn13]

$1300!! Holy crap!! That’s higher than giraffe wussie!!

[@OutdoorsWithShawn]

@@88Grayman I'll spend good mood money on something if it's worth it. This is just a bit out of that price range. But I'm sure he'll sell a few off his site, just not to me.

[@danscoular]

Yes, the price increases between Charlie, Delta, and 7 are staggering. But tbh didn’t stop me. I tried a Fenix but the battery life wasn’t anywhere near as good. It’s also lighter and more comfortable than the Delta (but obv huge). Some of my colleagues are using the Instinct 2 Solar Tactical which is also excellent, and has many of the same features and is a fraction of the cost.

[@dccmotographics]

Hello, can you drop a link or the name of the clock band that you add on ?

[@romanchvojka4901]

Hello I have question regarding ABC widget. Are you able to set units (feet or meters) in altimeter? In mine Garmin Tactix 7 Pro Im not able to set units in ABC widget. Its possible to set only via System-Format-Units. If I want to change units in altimeter via ABC widget its not possible. I remember in the previous model Tactix Delta it was possible to change units of Altimeter via ABC widget.

Not like they fkn asked me to sell for them. They have a ton of stores selling them. They could care less if I do. Put a phatcock in your mouth so you stop talking phaggggg

Heyy, have you found it @federicoborsari1803

[@PNWAffliction]

having a watch synced up with GPS is legit. anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't know jackshit about land nav. yeah it isn't affordable by any means, but it's legit regardless. ;p just wait til it's hooked up with everyone else's and the dog running around with a map overlay and you got a party.

[@caesarsspirit]

kill switch doesnt destroy the watch. it does factory reset.

[@oneshoeless]

Woof... $1300.00... Thats a lot of practice ammo. I've got a watch, paper map and a compass with me all of the time. That is a cool watch though.

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

Work harder. Less complaining and you too can buy $1300 watches.

[@oneshoeless]

@@BlackScoutSurvival As an older guy on pretty much a fixed income, I don't see the need to work a second job to buy a watch like that. I support your channel because I believe you make some good points. I certainly don't need criticism from a guy trying to make sales when gas is almost $5.00 a gallon.

[@cultural_lettuce1]

Nice watch, but for the price I'll stick with my $18 viper tec.

I would give my left nut for a Garmin Fenix, Epix, or Tactix, but being a single parent of two & living in SW VA where time has forgot I'm doing my best to prepare for the bad bad times coming & all rolled together it's beyond stressful. I can't get the money together for a Garmin but I truly believe they are the most beautiful watch ever designed & I'm a watch fanatic plus I can't skip a video of Jacks or of a Garmin. I just end up slobbering over them thinking maybe one day.

[@Nigriff]

Do you have nuts to give?

[@cartesian_doubt6230]

Any watch that has to be charged is not a tactical or military watch. A watch should be able to stay with you for years or for decades without needing a battery or charge. You get stuck behind enemy lines for a few months and your expensive tactical watch is useless.

I have been using the new Garmin Tactix 7 Pro and I love it. I use to be a G-Shock fan but after buying Tactix 7 Pro, i never going to need any other watch. It has all the features i need and I don’t have to charge it daily. I wore it 24/7 and only charge for couple of minutes when I want to take it out of my wrist. I even wore it to sleep as it’s able to record my sleep pattern. It’s pricey but it’s all worth it. It’s a beast.

This watch is fantastic. Love the ballistic calculator. Surprisingly accurate. I pointed the guys in my training group towards your website. I hope they use it.

In the past I've been super critical of "tactical" watches - heavy, expensive, lots of buttons to catch on stuff, steel reinforced bands that will rip your wrist off, etc. BUT, this is the first one that seems to have enough useable features to justify it's existence.
