Tactical Watches

As the name suggests, the selection of timepieces we like to call military-grade watches is designed to resist the roughness of a military theater. However, this doesn’t mean their features cater only to the military and law enforcement personnel.

Military watches are just as useful to EMTs, professional divers, rescue teams, outdoor adventurers, and more. These timepieces are made to withstand harsh conditions while keeping their accuracy and reliability.

As such, there’s no wonder that almost every watchmaker in the market has at least one collection deemed as tactical. And since we know it can get pretty difficult to choose from the plethora of products out there, we found the best tactical watches and reviewed them for you.

We also have a detailed buying guide, so you’ll know which features to follow and why.

Highlights

The Tactix Bravo from Garmin is a watch built for the tactical environment but also packs features that keep track of a user’s fitness activity.

It is durable due to the non-reflective, all-black design and 1.2-inch high-resolution, sunlight-readable dial protected by a high-strength domed sapphire lens. The dial can also be seen during the night due to the night vision system that is compatible with goggles. In addition, the watch is water-resistant (up to 100m) and supports WiFi connectivity (which allows it to automatically update its software and apps). The

The watch can be used for orientation and localization due to the high-sensitivity GPS/GLONASS with automatic calibrating altimeter, barometer and 3-axis compass. Also, due to the omni-directional stainless steel EXO antenna, the watch can keep track of your location even in more difficult terrains.

Among the most-appreciated features, there are the ones that make it a tactical watch like Jumpmaster, projected waypoints, dual-format GPS coordinate data and TrackBac (to get back to your starting point). But the Tactix Bravo also comes with features for tracking fitness activity which is why many outdoor adventurers prefer it.

In terms of style, the Tactix Bravo is not bulky but it is rugged and fulfills its durability promises. It is comfortable to wear, the face is large and easy to read, and there’s no need to worry about charging. The battery life is up to 50 hours in UltraTrac battery saver mode, 20 hours in GPS mode and up to 3 weeks for regular use (as a smartwatch).
