Welcome to The Gear List, a semi-regular series where we spotlight the best discounts and deals on tactical gear, outdoor equipment, and everything in between.
As the maker of some of the best outdoor adventure gear on the market, Garmin consistently produces smartwatches that are always in high demand by readers in the know. Surprisingly, that isn’t stopping the brand from cranking up the heat on summer sales: right now, you can save $230 on the brand new top-dog Garmin tactix 7 Pro with ballistic software, a tactical powerhouse built for the battlefield.
The tactic 7 is a beast of a watch with battery life for weeks, solar charging, a ballistic calculator, stealth mode, an NVG-compatible screen, and a kill switch (that you’ll hopefully never need). It’s quite possibly the most capable piece of tech you can buy to make yourself more effective as a modern warfighter – and it’s pretty badass in everyday life, too.
If you’re looking to spend less, you can take your pick from the versatile fenix 6 Pro, fitness phenom Forerunner 245, and value-packed Instinct Solar. Our crew of gear reviewers has extensive experience with Garmin, and we’ve been impressed at every turn with every new piece of tech the company dreams up. We’ve made sight adjustments with the range-ready tactix Delta Solar AB, tested the technological prowess of the tactix 7, and navigated with a handheld GPS unit. At every turn, Garmin has proven itself worthy of the hype.
All four of these GPS watches are great equipment and awesome deals at these prices. While they cater to different buyers and budgets, they share Garmin’s famous build quality and intuitive features. There are no bad choices here.
These prices were valid at press time, but prices can change and deals do expire.
