QUALITY BY DESIGN

Tested to MIL-STD-810, the rugged yet sophisticated design features a large 1.4” display.

TOUCHSCREEN AND BUTTONS

Traditional button controls that work in any environment are matched with a responsive new touchscreen interface for quick access to selections and functions.

Equipped to
execute your every
objective.

BUILT-IN GREEN OR WHITE FLASHLIGHT

To help guide your way in low-light conditions, a built-in multi-LED flashlight provides quick access to a bright, steady beam in either green or white light.

NIGHT VISION CAPABILITY

Easily switch between daytime view and nighttime view with a screen that can be read by night vision goggles.

STEALTH MODE

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

KILL SWITCH

If security becomes an issue, the kill switch wipes the device of all user memory.

JUMPMASTER MODE

This feature works to calculate high-altitude release points according to military guidelines and helps to navigate you to your objective once you’ve jumped.

DUAL-POSITION FORMAT

Easily sync your location with others by seeing both the universal transverse mercator and military grid reference system on the same screen.

PROJECTED WAYPOINTS

Set and save remote geo positions to be used later for navigation.

HUNT ACTIVITY

Track your hunt, and mark hunt-specific waypoints directly on your watch.

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.

WEATHER REPORTS

Access aviation weather, including NEXRAD radar, METARs and TAFs, to see winds, visibility, barometric pressure and more1.

Push
performance to a
whole new level.

BUILT-IN SPORTS APPS

Use preloaded activity profiles for trail running, swimming, running, biking, hiking, rowing, skiing, golfing, surfing, indoor climbing and more.

HIIT WORKOUTS

This activity profile tracks your high-intensity interval training workouts, including AMRAP, EMOM, Tabata and custom. Set the number of rounds, work/rest intervals and more.

DAILY WORKOUT SUGGESTIONS

For training guidance that takes you and your fitness level into account, get daily run and ride recommendations based on your current training load and training status.

VISUAL RACE PREDICTOR

Based on your running history and overall fitness level, this feature provides an estimate of what your pace could be for the distance you want to run. Trend data shows how your training is having an impact over time.

UP AHEAD

Get at-a-glance awareness for selected POI checkpoints ahead. View performance metrics, split times and distance/elevation — plus a summary of key trail points coming up.

PACEPRO™ TECHNOLOGY

A first-of-its-kind PacePro feature helps keep you on pace with grade-adjusted guidance as you run a course.

PERFORMANCE METRICS

View advanced training metrics that include running dynamics, heat- and altitude-adjusted VO2 max, trail run VO2 max, recovery advisor and more2.

REAL-TIME STAMINA

Use this data to track and manage your exertion — and help avoid overexerting at the start of your run or bike.

RECOVERY TIME ADVISOR

After each workout, recovery time lets you know when you’ll be ready for another hard workout. It even accounts for training intensity and factors such as stress, daily activity and sleep.

MTB DYNAMICS

Track the details of every ride with mountain biking metrics plus specialized Grit and Flow measurements that rate trail difficulty and how smoothly you descend, giving you a score to beat next time.

CLIMBPRO FEATURE

Use the ClimbPro ascent planner on downloaded courses to see real-time information on your current and upcoming climbs, including gradient, distance and elevation gain — as well as descents and flats.

SURF-READY FEATURES

Get ready to catch some waves. This tactix watch works with the Surfline Sessions feature, which creates a video of every wave you ride in front of a Surfline® camera3. So you can watch them later and see how you did with your Surfline Sessions subscription.

BACKCOUNTRY SKI

Stay informed when you’re in the snow. This preloaded profile helps distinguish between skiing and climbing. It shows metrics specific to either ascent or descent.

XC SKI DYNAMICS

When paired with the HRM-Pro chest strap (sold separately), the ski power metric helps measure the actual exercise load of your cross-country workouts.

Features for every
kind of adventure.
