Garmin Unveils Tactix 8 and Sets a New Standard For Rugged Smartwatches

My Garmin Forerunner 965 saved my life, so to speak. It stopped me from a vicious cycle of trying to get fit and healthy after chemotherapy and constantly finding myself back in bed feeling worse and worse. Until I experienced how good the technology behind this product was and saw firsthand how it can help people, I had no time for smartwatches.

And now, Garmin is moving the needle yet again with its recently launched Tactix 8.

Like many of Garmin's flagship models, this unit is available in a 51mm or new 47mm case size. But what separates the Tacitx 8 from the rest of Garmin's lineup is that it features dedicated rucking and dive activities, as well as a speaker and mic. Once you're out living up to the activities, this beast was made for the leakproof buttons, titanium bezel, and scratch-resistant sapphire lens should ensure it can survive whatever you throw at it.
