After wearing this watch for three months, I can confidently say it’s one of the best I’ve ever owned. The screen is stunning, and the bezel design is equally impressive. I was looking for something reliable and rugged, and this watch has exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend it to first responders, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone who works in tough environments. It is pricey, but the way I see it, I’m gonna invest in something I use everyday.

The best watch I've ever owned. Hands down the best Garmin on the market, the battery life, features are amazing. Colors are brighter, the ballistic, night vision features are amazing if you need them, or just nice to have. The flashlight is green and white, better than red and white at night. Ihave owned all of the fenix lineup and this is 100% better in my opinion.

Best watch I have owned. Tactically it beats the Suunto and in practicality it beats the Apple Watch. Battery life , beats all the others, so if you can afford to buy it, I recommend it. I have the Pro Ballistics edition and love it.

This watch is the most reliable and user friendly gadget that I own. It exceeded all of my expecatations other than the fact that loading maps onto the watch was so difficult to accomplish. I love this watch and it is definnetly something I find myself using more and more every day. Every function imaginable is available for this watch. Great design and built tough.

Battery life is insane! Getting 3 weeks without turning it off, on smart watch mode. Has so many activities, from walking, to jumping out of a plane! Everyworkout you can think of. Best watch. And ive had both Samsung, and Apple. Worth the money! And it looks great!

Great watch with outstanding features. Maybe too many features. I like the ballistic app, but the airplane navigation is too much. Aside from the added ($130) strap, not much better than a few other models. I ended up returning for Fenix 7x Saph/Solar for close to $600 less, no regrets. a few system updates and mostly the same aside from the two apps above, full Ti, and mil-spec cert.
Oh, the description says 47mm, but they only make Tactix in 51mm, which is what I received when delivered. The buttons do have a nice waffle finish, and have a much more responsive tactile feel when pushed, vs Fenix. What i mean is on Tactix when the button is pushed you get a slight bit of feedback, which I'd describe as a push button pop. Whereas Fenix does not provide that feedback sensation. Not a deal breaker, just notable in comparison use. Wish the band was a few MM larger, though I do have +8" wrist so an outlier.
First/Only smartwatch, always relied on mechanical examples like Marathon, CountryComm or Seiko. But this is feature rich and great for so many things beyond time of day.

Everything I thought it would be so far. I love the solar charge. I still have to check the ballistics, water, and altitude software. The only down for me is I cant see picture of contacts to match with phone numbers. This is a gift to myself for the new year. I love it!

Great watch. Does way more than I ever used, but if you want a sleek clean looking watch this is it. Did have a problem after 2.5 years of use. The start stop button stopped working. Best Buy protection plan helped out. Still a solid watch.
