The MSRP for the Garmin Tactix 7 AMOLED is set at $1,399 making it fairly expensive, but this watch packs in a hoard of tech features. We’re talking futuristic technology elements like night vision compatible, an adaptive display, and even a heart rate monitor. All of those specifications are outlined in greater detail below as presented by Garmin:

Adaptive display – A vibrant, sunlight-readable 1.4” screen provides higher detail and can be dimmed to below a single nit of brightness when wanting to go undetected.
Night vision compatible flashlight – Building on the customer favorite white/green flashlight of current tactix 7 models, the newest edition provides a dimmable green flashlight capable of being used when Night Vision Goggle (NVG) mode is activated, helping preserve the user’s natural night vision while providing light in the immediate area.
Heart rate sensor – Enhanced optical sensor and specific algorithms offer improved performance tracking for a wider variety of activities, making it easier to better understand how the body is responding to specific environments and physical challenges.
Red Shift mode – More than just a black and red watch face, Red Shift changes the entire watch interface to shades of red to help preserve night vision by blocking the colors of light that constrict pupils; it can also help reduce sleep cycle disturbances.

“This highly adaptable, modern tactical smartwatch is ready for any environment or assignment. Its dedicated features are designed to meet the many unique situations tactix customers find themselves in, and most importantly – it will serve their needs efficiently and effectively. You can depend on this watch day or night, wherever the mission takes you.” – Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales.

The Garmin Tactix 7 AMOLED also boasts button guards with reinforced metal lugs which are then paired with a carbon gray DLC (Diamond-Like Coating) titanium bezel. You also have a scratch-resistant sapphire lens, fiber-reinforced polymer housing and titanium rear cover, and black tactical nylon QuickFit bands. Again, the street price of $1,399 is steep, but for discerning watch owners, the new Garmin Tactix 7 AMOLED has everything and the kitchen sink that you could ever desire in a watch. As always, let us know all of your thoughts in the Comments below! We always appreciate your feedback.
