Garmin is kicking off the year at CES 2016 by focusing on its outdoor line of smartwatches. The company announced the new Tactix Bravo multisport GPS watch and new Fenix 3 HR watches featuring Garmin's Elevate wrist-bound heart rate monitors.
The features of the Tactix Bravo might persuade one to be more of an adventurer, or at least make them jealous of law enforcement types who may find this device useful. It has an all-black design, a scratch-resistant sapphire lens, and a knurled bezel which has a diamond-like carbon coating to protect against scrapes as well. Not only does the all-black look sleek, but it's meant to make the watch as invisible as possible especially in low light. Its display even has a "night vision" mode so users can see it while wearing night vision goggles. You'll be able to break up the black with interchangeable bands, so you can make somewhat of a fashion statement wearing it to the office.
The Tactix Bravo's GPS features alone will be enticing for hardcore hikers, extreme adventurers, Leonardo DiCaprio in The Revenant—basically anyone who wants to go off the grid and make it back easily and safely. It has a built-in, high-sensitivity GPS as well as an EXO antenna and GLONASS support, both of which help make the GPS faster and more accurate. You can save up to 1,000 waypoints and mark your starting point before heading out so you can find your way back quickly. It also supports dual-position mode, which lets the display show two sets of coordinates at the same time.
