The Garmin watch that has it all, and with the solar component has the capacity to last the distance.

The Garmin 2X Tactical Solar Watch is a standout in the world of multi-functional outdoor timepieces, offering a robust blend of durability, performance, and advanced features. Designed specifically for tactical use, the watch combines Garmin’s renowned solar charging capabilities with an impressive array of tools and features that cater to both professionals and outdoor enthusiasts. Design and Build Quality: The Garmin 2X Tactical Solar Watch is built to withstand tough environments. The watch boasts a rugged, military-inspired design, with a 51mm fiber-reinforced polymer case that is both lightweight and incredibly durable. The high-resolution, sunlight-readable display is protected by scratch-resistant sapphire glass, ensuring it stays pristine even after heavy use. The silicone strap provides a secure and comfortable fit, even during extended wear in demanding conditions. Solar Charging and Battery Life: One of the most appealing features of the 2X Tactical Solar is its solar charging capabilities. With the solar charging system, the watch extends battery life significantly, allowing you to stay off the grid for longer periods. In full sunlight, it can stay powered for up to 50 days in smartwatch mode, and up to 20 days in GPS mode with solar charging. Even in less optimal lighting conditions, the battery performance is solid, making it ideal for long outdoor expeditions where charging might not be feasible. Tactical Features: True to its name, the Garmin 2X Tactical Solar Watch is equipped with specialized features for tactical situations. The night vision mode is particularly useful for low-light environments, adjusting the display’s brightness so it doesn’t interfere with night vision goggles. The dual-format GPS (Glonass and Galileo) ensures precise location tracking in remote areas, making it a reliable companion for navigation. The watch also includes jumpmaster and waypoint projection modes, making it suitable for those involved in air operations or military activities. Additionally, the stealth mode disables wireless communication to ensure your movements remain undetected. Health and Fitness Tracking: Beyond its tactical applications, the Garmin 2X Tactical Solar Watch is also a top-tier fitness tracker. It comes equipped with a heart rate monitor, pulse oximeter, and sleep tracking, allowing users to monitor their overall health during activities. The watch also tracks a variety of sports, including hiking, running, cycling, and swimming, and offers advanced metrics like VO2 max, recovery time, and performance condition. It also supports Garmin’s Body Battery feature, which helps optimize energy levels throughout the day based on your activity and stress levels. User Interface and Software: The watch runs on Garmin’s intuitive interface, with a responsive touchscreen and five-button control system that provides easy access to all features, even with gloves on. The menus are well-organized, and the watch allows customization for quick access to your most-used functions. Garmin’s Connect app further enhances the experience by allowing you to sync data, track your progress, and join the Garmin fitness community. Cons: Despite its many strengths, the Garmin 2X Tactical Solar Watch does come with a few drawbacks. For one, its size might be too large for those with smaller wrists, as the 51mm case can feel bulky and heavy. Also, while the solar charging is a great feature, it can take time to fully charge in low-light conditions, requiring optimal sunlight for the fastest recharging. Lastly, while it excels in tactical and outdoor features, some users may find the watch’s interface and complexity a bit overwhelming if they are only looking for a simple timepiece. Conclusion: Overall, the Garmin 2X Tactical Solar Watch is a top-tier timepiece designed for those who need rugged durability, solar-powered longevity, and advanced tactical features. Whether you're a professional in the field, an outdoor enthusiast, or someone who simply demands a reliable watch for extreme conditions, the Garmin 2X Tactical Solar Watch delivers. Its combination of performance, battery life, and specialized features makes it a solid investment for anyone who spends time in demanding environments.

Actualización agosto 2024, Tengo casi un año con el y la verdad es impresionante, muy resistente en su material (Parecido a los G-shock de casio) muy cómodo pero lo mejor es su gps glonass y galileo. Super precisos para deporte, lo uso diario para correr, nadar e ir en bici, marca muchas actividades como entrenamiento en interior y exterior, yoga y sesiones de entrenamiento intenso, le he comprado ya varios sensores, como el Tempe el cual funciona a la perfección solo hay que esperar ya que cada determinado tiempo se acuatiza, pero es muy exacto, también le coloque un Pod dinámic para medir la cadencia al correr y me impresiono, me encanta que marca las áreas fuerte de impacto en cada actividad, también el tiempo de reposo que debes tomar después de las actividades, lo cual brinda mayor información en los entrenamientos y hasta actividad cardíaca con el sensor interno o con la banda de pecho , incluye un modo stealth que desactiva las conexiones inalámbricas para tenerlo en modo “invisible” ya que al estar constantemente conectado luego llega a ser detectable, ballistic y jumpmaster son una pasada, la linterna es súper útil para algunas emergencias que créanme siempre va a ser más útil que sacar el móvil en una situación rápida para sacar provecho lo tengo vinculado con contactos de emergencia y ya me ha salvado de un evento mandado mensaje a mis contactos y la ubicación en tiempo real, y funciona a la perfección, la batería en modo smartwatch y de uso de actividades diarias me dura aproximadamente una semana, pero al ponerlo en modo stealt dura casi todo el mes y con la opción solar, que deben dejarlo un buen rato (más de 3 horas) para que empiece a carga con un lux de 100k se vuelve batería infinita, ah y lo pude vincular con pagos nfc y vaya que es super práctico en fin, vale cada centavo de su costo lo recomiendo mucho para aquellos que gustan de vivir en deportes extremos y también quieren un smartwatch sin perder conectividad, mucho mejor que otros relojes solo que ojo, este no es touch ni a colores lo cual le brinda más autonomía pero créanme que es de uso ULTRA RUDO.

The watch face is large and easy to read in any light. The watch is quite light for it's size and is very comfortable all day and through the night. The sleep tracker is quite helpful and seems to be very accurate with matching to how I feel when waking up. By far the most useful feature on this watch is the flashlight. I cannot count how many times in the last week I've used it, let alone how many times total. It casts a very easy on the eyes light with a strong center and gentle flood that makes navigating in the dark very easy without shocking your eyes. I also love the GPS info as we used it to mark and navigate back to our parking location at the Cold Lake Airshow this past weekend. The compass is excellent for a quick verification of direction and I really enjoyed playing with the barometer during our road trip through the Rocky Mountains. For charging, I may charge it once a month (I've owned it for 5 months now) if it needs it. Occasionally I can get it to read as infinite battery life, but even staying in direct sunlight for 5-6 hours a day it doesn't seem to quite keep up to daily use, but it will comfortably exceed an entire month on a single charge. Overall, this is a great watch and it'll even tell you the time!

Excellent GPS watch. Durable and light. Solar charging is a plus. All functions work well.
