Garmin has launched two new aviator smartwatches, the D2 Air X15 and D2 Mach 2. Both models combine aviation-focused features with health, fitness, and smartwatch capabilities.
They include AMOLED touchscreen displays, built-in speakers and microphones, avionics connectivity, voice commands, and aviation morning reports. The D2 Air X15 offers up to 10 days of battery life, while the D2 Mach 2 lasts up to 26 days in smartwatch mode.
Both watches connect with the Garmin Pilot app to display avionics data, navigation information, and crew alerts. They offer on-device voice commands for actions like starting a fly activity or requesting METAR data. Pilots can also record geo-referenced voice memos during flights. The Garmin Messenger app supports two-way texting from the wrist.
The D2 Air X15 features a 1.4-inch AMOLED display protected by Gorilla Glass 3, a stainless steel or slate bezel, and a black silicone band. The watch face changes color based on METAR data. A built-in LED flashlight includes adjustable white light and a red light with night vision-friendly Red Shift mode. The watch supports PlaneSync, letting users check aircraft status like fuel and battery levels remotely.
The X15 supports GPS, HSI navigation, and a worldwide aeronautical database. It includes barometric altimeter alerts, METAR/TAF weather access, Pulse Ox for oxygen monitoring, flight logging, timers, sunrise/sunset indicators, and multiple time zones. Health tools include ECG, Body Battery, sleep tracking, HRV status, respiration tracking, stress tracking, hydration tracking, menstrual cycle logging, and jet lag advice. Fitness features include animated workouts, daily suggested exercises, Garmin Coach plans, golf course maps, and recovery metrics.
The D2 Mach 2 adds a sapphire lens, titanium bezel, metal sensor guard, and leakproof buttons. It includes the most detailed aviation maps Garmin has offered on a watch, with topography, terrain shading, and overlays for runways, airspace, and weather conditions. Pilots can track their flight path and customize the aircraft icon.
The Mach 2 supports weather alerts based on user-set personal minimums for conditions like wind speed and ceiling. It adds a scuba diving profile, no-fly timer, and a 40m dive rating. It is available in 47mm with a leather band or 51mm with a DLC titanium bracelet, both with an extra silicone strap.
Battery life on the D2 Air X15 is up to 10 days in smartwatch mode and 20 hours in GPS fly mode. On the Mach 2, battery life extends up to 26 days in smartwatch mode and 58 hours with GPS and SpO2 active.
