Garmin is back with an upgraded Tactix 7 series of smartwatches, more than a year and a half after its initial release. The original Tactix 7 series all shared a transflective memory-in-pixel (MIP) display. The new smartwatch in the series features an AMOLED display. Keep reading to know more about this model.
Garmin Tactix 7 AMOLED smartwatch specs & features
The new addition to the Tactix 7 series, the Tactix 7 AMOLED, lives up to its name by swapping the MIP technology for an AMOLED display. This change brings a more vibrant and versatile display, boasting a native resolution of 454 x 454 pixels, in contrast to the 280 x 280 pixels of the previous models.
One standout feature of the Tactix 7 AMOLED is its support for an always-on display (AOD) mode, a common feature in modern smartwatches. However, enabling this mode reduces the battery life from 31 days to 11 days. If you opt to keep both AOD and GPS active, the estimated runtime drops further to 58 hours.
While the display has seen an upgrade, other key features remain unchanged. These include 10 ATM water resistance, access to Garmin’s smartwatch software suite, and a sapphire display lens paired with a titanium body. Notably, the Tactix 7 series continues to feature a 51 mm case size.
Price & avialability
The Tactix 7 AMOLED is now available for purchase in various markets, including the US, with a retail price of $1,399.99 (Amazon).
