NIGHT VISION CAPABILITY

Easily switch between daytime view and nighttime view with a screen that can be read by night vision goggles.

STEALTH MODE

While keeping the watch operational, stealth mode stops storing and sharing your GPS position and disables wireless connectivity and communication.

If security becomes an issue, the kill switch wipes the device of all user memory.

JUMPMASTER MODE

This feature works to calculate high-altitude release points according to military guidelines and helps to navigate you to your objective once you’ve jumped.

Set and save remote geo positions to be used later for navigation.

PACEPRO TECHNOLOGY

A first-of-its-kind PacePro feature helps keep you on pace with grade-adjusted guidance as you run a course.

REAL-TIME STAMINA

Use this data to track and manage your exertion — and help avoid overexerting at the start of your run or bike.

RECOVERY TIME ADVISOR

After each workout, recovery time lets you know when you’ll be ready for another hard workout. It even accounts for training intensity and factors such as stress, daily activity and sleep.

MTB DYNAMICS

Track the details of every ride with mountain biking metrics plus specialized Grit and Flow measurements that rate trail difficulty and how smoothly you descend, giving you a score to beat next time.

CLIMBPRO FEATURE

Use the ClimbPro ascent planner on downloaded courses to see real-time information on your current and upcoming climbs, including gradient, distance and elevation gain — as well as descents and flats.

SURF-READY FEATURES

Get ready to catch some waves. This tactix watch works with the Surfline Sessions feature, which creates a video of every wave you ride in front of a Surfline camera³. So you can watch them later and see how you did with your Surfline Sessions subscription.

RACE WIDGET

Get ready for your next race with training tips, personalized daily suggested workouts and completion time predictions based on course details, weather and performance.

TRAINING STATUS

Using new indicators such as HRV status, your recent exercise history and performance, get insight into your overall effort — and whether you’re training productively, peaking or strained.

TRAINING READINESS

From the moment you wake up, get a readiness score based on your sleep quality, recovery, training load and more, so you can determine whether it’s a good day to go hard — or take it easy.
