Garmin Tactix 7

Anyone who enjoys the rugged outdoors or engages in tactical activities knows the importance of reliable gear. If you’ve ever found yourself in situations where nothing matters more than precision and durability, the Garmin Tactix 7 Smartwatch is for you.

This robust watch can handle almost all the challenging conditions you throw at it. The military-inspired build, with a durable black DLC-coated steel bezel, black PVD-coated steel rear cover, and sapphire lens ensures that it can withstand harsh environments without compromising on performance. You’ll also appreciate the always-on display and the addition of a new LED flashlight for low-light situations.

Garmin Tactix 7 features both a responsive touchscreen and reliable physical buttons, for the best of both worlds. You can smoothly navigate through menus and apps with the touchscreen when you need speed and convenience. But when you’re out in the field (maybe in gloves or wet conditions) the physical buttons can give you the precise control that you need.

What’s even better is that you don’t have to worry about the watch running out of battery when you are out and about, thanks to its solar-powered design, which extends battery life during your adventures. The solar-charging feature gives you up to 37 days of battery life in smartwatch mode under the right conditions.

Apart from the toughness, the Garmin Tactix 7 Smartwatch is packed with advanced features, including preloaded maps, multi-band GPS, and tactical modes like Jumpmaster and stealth. These features can help you stay on track regardless of where you are.

There’s even a built-in ballistic calculator for those who need shooting solutions. The compatibility with the AB Synapse Garmin app lets you create custom ballistic profiles, adding yet another layer of precision. You’ll also receive smart notifications directly on your wrist when paired with your smartphone to stay connected even in remote areas.

Currently, you can grab this smartwatch for just $1,300 after a 19% discount.

When Cingular chief Stan Sigman backed the original iPhone before its 2007 unveiling, he accepted terms American carriers usually refused: no logo on the device, no control over its software, no preloaded apps, and a share of monthly subscriber revenue flowing back to Apple, after signing on without seeing a prototype
In 2016, archaeologists dated two rings of snapped stalagmites in France’s Bruniquel Cave to 176,500 years ago, evidence that Neanderthals had walked 336 metres into darkness with fire and built architecture deep underground long before modern humans reached Europe
Otto von Bismarck was 74 when Germany adopted the world’s first national old-age social insurance program in 1889, setting the pension age at 70 after years of fighting socialists with bans, laws, and a promise few workers would live long enough to use
When cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov stepped out of his Soyuz capsule in March 1995 after 437 consecutive days aboard Mir, doctors recorded him at several centimetres above his pre-flight height, and his spine had become so unaccustomed to gravity that the recovery team carried him to a chair rather than risk the compression of letting him walk.
When Harvard astronomer Cecilia Payne submitted her 1925 doctoral thesis arguing that the Sun was made almost entirely of hydrogen, the field’s senior figure Henry Norris Russell talked her into adding a line calling the result ‘almost certainly not real,’ and then published the same conclusion himself four years later to widespread acclaim.
When Edme Mariotte stared at marks on a wall in the 1660s, one mark vanished inside a six-degree hole where the optic nerve leaves the eye and the brain has been filling in wallpaper, sky, and faces ever since
When seismic waves from the Chicxulub impact reached what is now North Dakota roughly ten minutes after the asteroid struck, they appear to have triggered a ten-metre standing wave in an inland river that flung fish onto the bank and buried them under glass beads still falling from the sky.
When survivors near Lake Nyos woke on the morning of 22 August 1986, the cattle were dead in the fields, the birds had fallen out of the trees, and 1,746 of their neighbours were lying where they had stood the night before, with no fire, no flood, and no wound to explain it.
