This past week saw the introduction of the latest addition to Garmin’s tactix range, the tactix 8 smartwatch, designed with military applications in mind. Featuring an AMOLED display, rugged design, and Applied Ballistics Solver tech for customized aiming solutions, the tactix 8 is tailored for tactical purposes. The smartwatch also introduces support for the fitness trend of rucking, an exercise involving carrying a weighted backpack, popular for its simplicity and effectiveness in improving fitness. Garmin’s inclusion of a dedicated workout profile for rucking highlights the rising popularity of this exercise beyond its military origins. While rucking is currently available on the tactix 8, there are speculations that Garmin may expand this feature to other devices in the future. This move further solidifies Garmin’s reputation for providing top-notch health and fitness tracking, positioning the brand as a leader in the smartwatch market.
