Rise above with the Garmin tactix 8 51mm Solar Edition Smartwatch in Black. It’s the ultimate tactical smartwatch, featuring a solar charged display, titanium bezel, sapphire lens, an internal speaker and mic for voice features and a 40-meter dive rating.

Built to Endure

The Smartwatch features a bright 1.4-inch solar-charged display, titanium bezel, and sapphire lens, and an enhanced graphical interface. It’s tested to U.S. military standards for thermal, shock, and water resistance.

Mission-Ready

Dedicated tactical features include a jumpmaster activity, waypoint projection, dual-position GPS format, stealth mode, kill switch, compatibility with night vision goggles, and rucking activity.

Lead The Charge

Navigate the outdoors with superior positioning accuracy, thanks to multi-band GPS with SatIQ technology plus built-in sensors for the 3-axis compass, gyroscope, and barometric altimeter.

Applied Ballistics

The preloaded Applied Ballistics solver gives you access to aiming solutions for long-range shooting in the field.

Recreational Diving

With a 40-meter dive rating, you’re ready to go to greater depths than ever with support for scuba and apnea dive activities.

Built-in Flashlight

To help guide your way in low-light conditions, a built-in multicolor LED flashlight provides quick access to a bright, steady beam in either green or white light. In NVG mode, white is disabled, and the green flashlight becomes dimmable.

Night Vision Capability

Whether viewed under NODs or operating in the dark, NVG mode allows for stealthy operation with controls to further dim brightness and black out the display to reduce detectability.

Stealth Mode

While keeping the watch operational, stealth mode stops storing and sharing your GPS position and disables wireless connectivity and communication.

Projected Waypoints and Rucking Activity

Set and save remote geo positions to be used later for navigation. A dedicated rucking activity profile allows you to input your pack weight.

Direct-To Navigation

Navigate straight to a location or waypoint in the worldwide aeronautical database. Or choose the Nearest function to activate a path to a nearby airport.
