Purchased the Tactix Bravo back in 2016. It still works and looks like new other than some minor wear of the DLC coating on the sharper edges of the watch. It's been flawless for 5 years of daily use and abuse. Sold it for $200 to a friend and just upgraded to the Delta w/solar and ballistics. I look forward to using this one daily for another 5 years. Awesome wearable tools!
I would've opted for the Tactix if they would've made a smaller, 47mm version. It's just way too big for a comfortable 24/7 wear on an average Joe's wrist.
I bought the tactix delta after this video after using the 6X sapphire. One extra thing I've noticed is that the tactix delta screen is a little brighter and has more clarity to it. It's a lot nicer on the eyes to look at.
I feel like its really down to look preference. Kill switch is factory reset, Stealth Mode is essentially Airplane mode, Jump Master has an app for Fenix, you can toggle between position formats on Fenix.. i mean i guess if night vision is your tipping point, but it really its either you like the tactical look or you have to use the Tactix because Fenix isn't allowed for your line of work.
Hey man, if you're a student the delta cost $719 once you complete the student verification process, or if you're not a college student have one buy it for you and save some money!
@@seanhatcher9429 This is pointed at Garmin and not you Sean. I could understand if you were a student at the John F Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School and needed this but what standard public education student needs a milspec watch?
i kept my 3 HR for sleep monitoring. You have to make it your main tracker though. I have not been happy with the 6x for sleep monitoring. My other watch is the 6x pro solar. 30 days of batter life under normal settings.
Just got the Tactix Delta and so far loving it. Actually found it on a base for $769 (no tax) which made the decision easier since it was cheaper than the 6x and, in my opinion, has the better design. I think the fenix line design is getting outdated. They could’ve easily called the Tactix Delta the Fenix 7 next year (without the stealth mode) and added a version with an amoled screen.
im not sure they will ever add an amoled screen since that would kill one of their top selling points, battery life. the current screen works like an Ereader E-ink display. unless its moving it uses no battery life.
no its not... the 5x plus sapphire looks quite like the same it has all topo maps free, and delta doesnt has, and this nice flat bezel design is the in both but the fenix 5x worth every single dollar spent, while the other one... LOL
I can't believe Garmin can honestly say to their customers that the screen on the 6x is fine, it looks so washed out, and more importantly the viewing angles are brutal. I ended up returning mine, Garmin reluctantly gave me a refund, I'll be trying the new tactix for sure, great video, thanks! PS, maybe do a video with backlight on and comparing different viewing angles between the two in darker setting
Had the Delta for a couple days now, spent a little more to get the solar. Did not spend even more to get the ballistics which I think is the coolest thing ever and i shoot every weekend... just no long range shooting which that applies too. Love the watch.
Good review. I may swap my 6X out I wanted all black to begin with didn’t want to pay 100$ extra for that brown band one. These are actually not expensive for how much they do after using it for the last two months.
Got myself a Tactix Delta Solar with Applied Ballistics. Great watch, really. I'm loving it. I'm switched over from a Polar Vantage V2. Big intersections in terms of functionality when it comes to activities of course. Overall the Garmin is way more versatile although the Polar has some positives as well.
I had the AW Ultra. Used for 1 year ish not bad but battery sucks, I wanted to do metrics while sleeping rather than charge it and forget to put it back after 1 hr, etc. I was using the Charge 5 but I gave it to my mom.
My 6x Sapphire is damn Solid and work good, but design alone is worth the upgrade for me..😀 And around here the Delta is like 200$ more than 6x Sapphire. For most maybe not worth it, but for me...worth every cent.
I went from a Fenix 6 sapphire, to a 6X sapphire and now a Delta. No question the Delta is the ONE. The Fenix 6 is too small, even on my 7.25 wrist. The 6X was nice, but the styling of the Delta blew it away.
@@stugots2863, the Delta has a night vision mode and some tactical modes that the Fenix is lacking. They can be beneficial if you're in the right profession.
I’m confused on one thing: does the tactix have a more vibrant/vivid screen projection or is it my imagination? It seems the colors are brighter on the tactix model. Also, doesn’t the fenix 6x have a titanium bezel which is also supposed to be somewhat indestructible? Trying to decide which I want to get. Thanks for the nice review.
Appreciate it! The screen on the 6x has been fixed with newer versions. Some early buyers got models with dim screens but that's been resolved. So, both watches have the same screen tech
Currently saving for it but ill be going with the delta solar with ballistics. Found one with public safety discount saving about $200 some odd dollars.
Delta makes the Samsung appear as a child's toy. You can feel the quality of the Delta and battery life is amazing!!! With phone notifications on mine only uses about 3% battery in 24 hours. Of coarse it will use more if I wasn't at work and using more of its useful functions. But all in all, you get what you pay for. Loving my new Garmin Tactix Delta Solar
I see a few questions as to the screens. I looked at a 6x sapphire and the Delta which also had a Sapphire lens. With the same watch face I saw no difference. Not sure if there is a Gorilla glass version of the Delta? The Gorilla glass regular 6 I looked at did look different than the Sapphire lenses. I ended up with a regular 6 Sapphire due to the huge size of the X and Delta. 100% happy after 2 weeks use.
Now after a while i still say Delta is the better design for sure, for my taste that is..guess we all think diffrent. :) Functions it´s most the same tho, do get faster gps on standard 6x and not sure why that is but maybe it´s just my device tho..:) One problem i notice is I see way more damage done to the bezel than on my standard 6x Sapphire, so not sure if garmin did use a diffrent coating/material on Delta but seems to catch more damage over time. Good thing to point out is i use my fenix watches hard, and been so from first gen..:) Knock it on things ( Bikes when fix motor/riding/crashing) and for sure take some beating on the MTB trails/hills ..:)
Thank you for this video! I just had a question about the diameter. What is your wrists width? I am 17cm (around my wrist) en worried if the 51mm is to big for me. I really want to go for the delta but if it is do big i will have to go for the 6, 47mm. Thanks again!
That’s a characteristic of the sapphire screen, it reflects a lot. The screen of the delta is not better, it’s the same screen. If you compare to 6X Pro non sapphire that glare goes away.
When the hour hand is pointing at 6 o'clock on a traditional watch, there is number 12 on the Tactix bezel. Do you know a use case for the numbers on the bezel on the Tactix?
It's a 24hr scale , traditionally used for keeping track of a second time zone. I'm guessing it might have a watch face with a seperate 24hr hand that you can set to say Zulu time. Either that or its just to go along with the whole military vibe . 🤷
Yeah it looks like you can get that watch face .Look at the first picture you'll see a funny looking hand , that's what you'd use to set the hour of the second time zone you're interested in tracking. buy.garmin.com/en-AU/AU/p/696005/pn/010-02357-02
@@MidsierramusingBlogspot Personally, I have not had any issues with this (device related), HOWEVER, the watch only provides the information, it is the Garmin software; Connect App and Cloud that interprets it and there have been some issues in this regard in the past, so just make sure you are using the most current version of the Device OS and Connect App. Of course you can always use the Garmin Website for your data as well.
At least it’s not a huge difference in actual features, the only use that would really make this worth it is if you were military. Since the main difference in software features is the features like jump master, night vision, and even a ballistics calculator(if you buy that version).
@@thesoapful correct me if I'm wrong but so far there is only Delta- Sapphire Edition. Having the same screen size they should be the same in terms of glass resistance..
The 5 and 6X line has a known washed out look to them. Somewhere along production they switched manufacturers and it fixed the issue so if you have a later model 6X, it would look like the tactix delta. AFAIK the Delta's don't have this issue, which makes sense as it was released after the 6X.
Diferent angle of camera..but Garmin indeen put in to his watches dwo diferent displays..one Is bluesh And one got better Black..just for the heck of IT..And there Is no pattern to in 😂
If I use either one of these watches for my racing bike rides, can I upload and see my route ridden along with stats like heart beat, cadence and speed. Thank you 👍
Screen looks better on the Delta...is that the case? I just purchased the 6x and am not thrilled with the screen. My 6x is too washed out IMO. The delta here looks like it has nice dark black backround
Yes, I don't know what it is about the delta, at first I thought it was just physiological as a way for me to justify the purchase but everyone is noticing it too. Oh well, they are both great watches
Im between tactix delta sapphire and fenix 6x pro solar titanium Which one do you recommend me for both daily and sports use swimming- running - biking- climbing - trekking and climbing
As an current Tactix C user I would go with Tactix D ,like the Tactix series more then F but they are based on the same tech with few slight differences .
Like all manufacturers, the newest iteration will have features that never get carried over to older generations, even those that are a year old. Enjoy what features it has now and be happy with your purchase
Interesting question : if it carries the same software as the 6x, will updates to the 6x firmware (currently on ver 6.0) also carry across to the Tactix?
Is there a reason why the Tactix screen looks better? The Fenix 6x looks hazy. Maybe it's just lighting, but brightness, contrast, color saturation just looks better on the Tactix.
I was wondering about the same thing, initially. Then I've noticed the view angle shifting and Fenix's screen a bit dirty. Around 30sec. into the video there are instances where the Fenix looks better.
Hello Jabber! Do you have the same % of backlight on both of them? Because 6x screen with backlight looks more washout. This is a big problem with 6 line. Some people receive a unit wit great contrast some people low like mine 6x pro. Delta looks fine, I hope all new screens are improved.
Hello, thanks for the review, I have the fenix 6X pro solar and I don't know whether to switch to delta, what would be your advice (regardless of the price) I would like to switch to the solar delta. Thank you
Within the first week, I scratched my 6X solar screen. $200 for Garmin to fix. Had a Sapphire 3 and 5X… not one scratch of the glass. I’m intrigued with the Delta Solar having sapphire glass. I thought the early releases of the Fenix said the sapphire did not allow for solar to go through since it is a crystal. I wonder how they “fixed” that.
Two points: Should disclose affiliate links when recommending them at the start of your video The kill switch performs the same function as a reset but is actually a button shortcut. Much more easily accessible if needed quickly than the normal reset => not the same thing.
Affiliate disclosure is in my description. No need to mention it in every single video...you should know by now that TH-cam prompted links help the channel you're watching 👍
Vince Vandenberg thank you ... that is what I wanted to hear .... the delta looks perfect and has the ruggedness for long days out hiking in rough conditions and seems that it would take anything you throw at it 👌🏼
I own the fenix delta and I really dont like it has flat bezel at the same level of sphere or cristal. Bezel like 6x one protect the cristal very nice. These are action watches and I'm afraid to scratch it...anyways it is way more good lookin than the 6x ... I guess...it is my opinion. And you forget another diference: skydiving altimeter, jumpmaster sport menu. For military like me, delta is sligtly better

Glad to help!
Decided to make my Apple watch series 5 backup and got Tactix Delta. First time Garmin user. Really excited to play with it
Same here, my AW 6 never had a chance after trying the 6X Solar. Endlessly fun/customizable and very accurate, useful features too for anyone.

@@tburka91 thanks,
because on their web, tactix is 32Mo ! and F6 is 32Go

Looks like the delta crystal is physically closer to the screen. Might be worth upgrading my instinct tactical.

You keep saying there's not much difference, but based on the video, delta seems to have a much brighter screen...

great looking watches... for me 6x
The Tactix screen looks way better.

Usually about 6 months or so after the Fenix. They might not even release one this year.
How does the Delta compare to the 6x Pro. Is it the same as the 6x?
Is that a 6X Sapphire DLC, or carbon grey or what its called? I can’t decide if I want a black one or the DLC-look😊
Is the Sapphire glass better on the delta than the glass used for the solar version? Thanks
💯 better
damn i didnt knew for this watch just bought fenix 6x :( looks awsome! keep up the good work
Appreciate it ‼️
I have fenix 6x sapphire first day..
I want new fenix with oled screen!!!
Im between tactix delta sapphire and fenix 6x pro solar titanium
Which one do you recommend me for both daily and sports use swimming- running - biking- climbing - trekking and climbing
I would not go the solar route..it's a gimmick and you will lose the sapphire screen
Jabber Tech
makes sense.
Thanks for quick reply!
How are these for people who have nickel allergy?
i dont believe there is any nickel involved on the outside of these two watches.
Is there a contrast and color differences between them ? Because the tacxis more colorful!
Fenix 6X was fixed with newer models
Excellent video. You answered a lot of my questions!
As an current Tactix C user I would go with Tactix D ,like the Tactix series more then F but they are based on the same tech with few slight differences .
I can’t find any reviews about the Tactix Charlie for some reason, is the Charlie much older then the Fenix 6?
@@POLPO_WOOD Tactix C is based on Fenix 5 was released about a month after the the Fenix 5 series.
@@DarkOmenX Aah ok makes sense, thnx for your reply
What is the software version for the Tactix Delta? Is it the same as in F6X? I was wondering how often it will be updated in the future.
Like all manufacturers, the newest iteration will have features that never get carried over to older generations, even those that are a year old. Enjoy what features it has now and be happy with your purchase
Interesting question : if it carries the same software as the 6x, will updates to the 6x firmware (currently on ver 6.0) also carry across to the Tactix?
What are those numbers on Delta bezel are for?
Is the Tactix Delta available with Sapphire glass ?
it's only sapphire
whats your wrist size? doesnt look bad on you, I wanted the 6x solar But i have a small wrist about 6.8inch
Just got the delta tactix and your screen looks more vibrant than mine. Did you do anything special with the settings?
nope
Can you do the same with the Tactics Charlie be the Delta and maybe even the Bravo! Thanks a lot!
Don't own those, sorry
Is there a reason why the Tactix screen looks better? The Fenix 6x looks hazy. Maybe it's just lighting, but brightness, contrast, color saturation just looks better on the Tactix.
I was wondering about the same thing, initially. Then I've noticed the view angle shifting and Fenix's screen a bit dirty. Around 30sec. into the video there are instances where the Fenix looks better.
Do they have shockproof? Because im so clumsy and i believe will often drop them when im not wearing it.
Yes shockproof and x-ray proof too
@@TheJabberTech both of them? Or just the delta? Thank you very much
both
How much they weight ? I hope i didn't miss it
Hello Jabber! Do you have the same % of backlight on both of them? Because 6x screen with backlight looks more washout. This is a big problem with 6 line. Some people receive a unit wit great contrast some people low like mine 6x pro. Delta looks fine, I hope all new screens are improved.
Same brightness level on both. The delta has a slightly better looking screen to me
@@TheJabberTech Do you think they can exchange it under the guarantee?
I don't know if anyone has had success getting a replacement bc of the screen colors. It doesn't bother me unless I'm looking at two side by side.
I get my delta on WEDNESDAY.. Yah!
Sweet 👍
Does the tactix have the same number of data info on one screen as the fenix 6x sapphire? I believe it’s 8 on the fenix?
You mean for the widget screen...it's the same
Jabber Tech I mean the run info screen where it shows the info while running.....
Contrast on the delta looks much better in this video.. was that visible in person? thanks
They are the same
Would like to know if the battery last longer in the 6x solar then the delta??
yes the solar is longer but only if you take it into the sun so it can charge up
Hello, thanks for the review, I have the fenix 6X pro solar and I don't know whether to switch to delta, what would be your advice (regardless of the price) I would like to switch to the solar delta. Thank you
You'd be switching only for the look of the delta.. otherwise basically the same
Within the first week, I scratched my 6X solar screen. $200 for Garmin to fix. Had a Sapphire 3 and 5X… not one scratch of the glass. I’m intrigued with the Delta Solar having sapphire glass. I thought the early releases of the Fenix said the sapphire did not allow for solar to go through since it is a crystal. I wonder how they “fixed” that.
Two points:
Should disclose affiliate links when recommending them at the start of your video
The kill switch performs the same function as a reset but is actually a button shortcut. Much more easily accessible if needed quickly than the normal reset => not the same thing.
Affiliate disclosure is in my description. No need to mention it in every single video...you should know by now that TH-cam prompted links help the channel you're watching 👍
what color is tactix delta? is there more than one color in this model?
what is the colour of the wristband of the tactix? coyote tan?
yessir. Check it out here in more detail

Hi, have you been wearing Delta? How’s the bezel surging the daily routine and exercises? Thank you!
I wear a bumper protector on it while working out
Jabber Tech Is that the one for 6x or they make one for Delta too?
I'm using the 6x one,doesn't fit all that well but better than nothing
Jabber Tech that’s what I have too, thank you 👍
tomorrow I pick up the Tactix Delta (your review really helped !!) , thanks bro
Glad I could help! Enjoy it!
How you finding the delta ?? I’m moving from an Apple Watch series 3 to the tactic delta Its coming tomorrow. Hope I like it .... looks great
S French you can not compare both watches , the Delta is just perfect (in my humble opinion 👍😃) Enjoy !!
Vince Vandenberg thank you ... that is what I wanted to hear .... the delta looks perfect and has the ruggedness for long days out hiking in rough conditions and seems that it would take anything you throw at it 👌🏼
Any way to get the delta screen for my 6x pro solar? I really like that design of the delta.
Yes, sell your 6x pro and buy the delta :)
😭😭😭🔪🔪🔪🔪👹👹👹👹👹
I own the fenix delta and I really dont like it has flat bezel at the same level of sphere or cristal. Bezel like 6x one protect the cristal very nice. These are action watches and I'm afraid to scratch it...anyways it is way more good lookin than the 6x ... I guess...it is my opinion. And you forget another diference: skydiving altimeter, jumpmaster sport menu. For military like me, delta is sligtly better
Jimmy Waterfall you realize the bezel and the glass in the delta is more durable than the 6X?
The glass you don't have to worry about I have the same in my watch. for 6 years now and no scratches.
Is the Tactix Charlie still worth buying now? Can you create a comparison video between the Charlie and Delta?
I don't own the charlie to do a comparison vid, sorry. Everything is 'worth" it if you like it :)
@@TheJabberTech I don't own one yet, so I asked this question in regards to features.
@@ems.1924 Charlie is a Nice watch too in my opinion.
