Very nice, I looked at the AMOLED Tactix but I will be good and not get one xD. Your setup is very nice especially with the 2X Tactical with much better battery then the nicer looking AMOLED.
I also have the Tactix 7 and the Instinct 2x Solar Tactical, I love them both! I like to use the tactix as more of a smart watch with the touch screen and mapping features, whereas I use the Instinct 2x as my more rugged bang it around watch. The only feature I wish they added to the instinct is the nap feature otherwise I would be using instinct over the tactix a lot more!
I've been going back and forth on them so far. Also, wearing both at the same time for some comparison and testing. Might do it regardless, just because I'm strange like that.
I have a garmin forerunner 45. I enjoy it a lot. I’ve used a Apple Watch series 2 before. The forerunner smashes the Apple Watch. The best feature for me is charging once or twice a week. Now it is time to upgrade, and this one has maybe a month of battery and some added features. I believe this is quite the perfect smartwatch for me. Coupled with my Sony earbuds- I dumped the Apple Watch, then the AirPods… I think my next phone will be an android.
The non tactical version is basically the same. Stealth mode is basically (airplane mode), this has green light (instead of Red), and also has the software to obtain a 10 digit grid (MGRS).
Well, no! Airplane mode is not the same as stealthmode. Airplane mode just deactivates the cellular and wifi, but not the Bluetooth, and your location and data are still visible. You are definitely not allowed in some areas on base with those watches on, they have to be lockered for the duration.
To decide between the tactical and solar edition (both solar, btw) you have to check all the tactical functions and really think if you need them. In my case I didn’t want a green light. I prefer the red light, also I’d use none of the tactical functions. So I went with the 2x solar.
I have tactix 7 pro, but I have been thinking about Instinct 2x tactical for all the time I have it. I would even liked to change my tactix 7 on Instinct 2x if the last one had maps. Because I consider that Instinct 2x has longer battery life, more powerful solar charging and has more readable display. But maps.... ahhh. It would be the excellent watch.
The Instinct 2x Tactical is pretty close to bridging the gap and at half too 1/3 the price of the Tactix series. I know I will be enjoying both watches and likely do a follow up after a little while
THERE'S NO WATCH ON THE MARKET THAT BEATS THE INSTINCT 2X FOR WHAT YOU ARE PAYING. AND IF YOU ARE A OFF THE GRID TYPE OF PERSON INSTINCT 2X OVER ANY OTHER WATCH ON THE MARKET.
Agreed, I was in bright sun and had the infinity symbol for days remaining. The Battery life can't be beat at this current time. You get very close to all the features of the Tactix series at much lower price.
