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!
Did you not consider a quatix 6
Exactly what I was looking to know without all the long drawn out specs. Thank you!
Glad to help!
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.
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.
Hands down my favorite tech reviewer. I've been thinking of upgrading from my 5x plus and I'm going with the Tactix Delta.
Really appreciate your support!!!! And the Delta is 🔥
@@TheJabberTech is it number one for you at the moment?
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!
@@TheJabberTech You should mention the discounts available on the watch, only 719 for students and professionals.
@@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?
upgraded my Fenix 3 HR to the Fenix 6X . Such an awesome watch. Loving it.
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.
I decided to go with the Delta. Happy with my decision. Thank you for your video
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
Derek Van Horne I've used the 6X for months and swapped to the delta. The screen is much better on the delta for sure. 👍
@@adamw1845 Good to hear, it's not for sale yet here in Canada, but I will be getting it once it does!
Didn’t know witch watch to go for but this guy made my mind up really good reviews knows his stuff
Which one did you get?
Man, I really love the look of the Delta, but its hard to justify the price difference.
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.
You can kind of see in the vid, but I guess you can really see it in person.
Do they have the same capacity on terms of memory?
Omar Andaloussi yeah
@@tburka91 thanks,
because on their web, tactix is 32Mo ! and F6 is 32Go
Is it just a mistake!?
Definitely a mistake, it says 32gb on the site.
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.
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.
That's the opinon I was looking for! Thank You.
Thanks for your review! Now, I decided to buy Tactix Delta, instead of Fenix 6X 😉
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.
Looks like the delta crystal is physically closer to the screen. Might be worth upgrading my instinct tactical.
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.
Just returned my shite galaxy watch 3 and got the delta cant wait to play with it ;) thanks again for the awsome vids
Lmaoooo, bro I'm doing the same thing. Returning the watch 3 tomorrow and buying a 6x sapphire.
Another GREAT review! Love the look and design, BUT I'll be staying with my 6X Pro Solar (loving it!!!!)
😎
I don't like the poor accuracy of the sleep data on the 6X Pro Solar.
@@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.
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.
That explains the missing seconds
I was wondering about that
Love the look of the Delta, makes my 5x look like an old Volkswagen 😂
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 have the tactix delta! Absolutely love it!! Look feel and function is 💯
What does the screen brightness look like on the delta? Is it visible during the day?
@@Thatguy-oi9js During the day that's where it's shines. It's made for daytime visibility and is top notch even with the sun shining directly on it.
songboek thanks so much for the help. I’m definitely getting one now!
The best part is that the tactix has a sapphire screen and solar. While the solar 6x only had gorilla glass.
damn i didnt knew for this watch just bought fenix 6x :( looks awsome! keep up the good work
Appreciate it ‼️
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 👌🏼
The Tactix has a better looking screen. That is a 007 watch for sure. 👍🏻
For sure ‼️
Still no oled screen.
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
Jabber Tech . Awesome! Thank you for the reply!!
They're making too many watches and flooding the market. It's gotten out of control.
Flooding the market can be a good thing because it leads to lower prices. Generally.
@@nickc7320 no
A Kinsella wrong, study a bit of economics cause you’ll learn it’s true
It’s good tho 😁
@@hnngggg85 Ah Boring first rule of economics inflation and freedom to overprice due to brand and money spent on marketing. :)
Currently saving for it but ill be going with the delta solar with ballistics. Found one with public safety discount saving about $200 some odd dollars.
My 6x Sapphire is damn Solid and work good, but design alone is worth the upgrade for me..😀
And around here the Delta is like 200$ more than 6x Sapphire. For most maybe not worth it, but for me...worth every cent.
Not clear on what your saying here. So do you have the delta or 6x? Or both?
I love how the Delta looks
Still torn between the Galaxy watch 3 and the Delta
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
It's the Delta black? I don't know of it's just me but the Delta looks kind of like the same color as the fenix 6x Sapphire.
3.22 The dreaded blue screen on the 6x when contrasted with the Delta....
I think it's the backlight
What do you mean?
I support fenix 6x sapphire！
Excellent video. You answered a lot of my questions!
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 ..:)
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.
Harold Rolfes they’re literally the same (feature wise). The tactix is also 15g heavier than the 6X Pro Solar, for example. Titanium vs steel.
@@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.
Harold you are full of shit.
I love your reviews my guy. I just got into Garmin smartwatches and these videos have helped so much 🤙🏻
Appreciate it ‼️
great looking watches... for me 6x
Fantastic. Just bought the 6x last month. Oh well
Are you a PJ? Bc that shit would be great for a PJ lol.
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).
Tactix Delta screen looks much better... or is it just me?
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 😂
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!
You keep saying there's not much difference, but based on the video, delta seems to have a much brighter screen...
its difference between g-glass and sapphire glass (more grazing)....quality of display is same
Went with the Delta!!🔥
Could you please comment on the "blue screen" differences between the two. Does the Tactix backlight appear more black than the 6X?
Check the video out at 3.22 and you will see the blue screen on the 6x
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 👍
I have fenix 6x sapphire first day..
I want new fenix with oled screen!!!
I get my delta on WEDNESDAY.. Yah!
Sweet 👍
been waiting on this comparison
That wrist band on the Tactix looks really good. Is it the Coyote tan colour? Where did you bought it?
right here th-cam.com/video/LmrDW7rOcwA/w-d-xo.html
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
I got the fenix 3HR lol waiting for the Fenix 7 to come out or should I just get the delta
I love garmin watches but i don't understand why they don't wanna put phone receiving and calling option on fenix 6 ?
They can't have a speaker bc it would ruin the water rating. A lot of people use these watches for triathalons and swimming is a major sport
Thanks so much.Do these watches interact with the sat communicators like the inreach mini or montana 700i?
Yes you can. www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/GUID-3B607AEB-9EB5-4BF3-A38D-1F9926BB9F65/EN-US/GUID-43AD8C5A-49D3-4CFD-8698-B76EB4827C14.html
What's your wrist size? It's worth noting on watches, even purpose built smartwatches like these.
Thanks for the review mate now before I go out and up grade from my Garmin F 3 what about a review comparison on the G6x and the Garmin Descent and Delta
Cheers
Sorry don't own the descent.. Go and upgrade :)
Jabber Tech
Will do mate I suppose as soon as I do they will bring one out to track archery stuff any way it Sunday in Australia so on line shopping for my new Garmin lol
Have been waiting for the descent mk2, hoping they would add integrated air pressures. I don't think it's coming....
Is it just me or the screen on tactix looks much better??
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.
Thnx for quick comparison. Could you, please, explain what those bezel numbers are for on Tactix Delta?
The Tactix screen looks way better.
Tom are they not both 280x280 pixels?
Garrett Saine they are but the glass on the domed glass gives off less light reflection.
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.
Don’t like the reflection on Sapphire.
Went for Solar model.
the Fenix 6X Sapphire got Solar or not?
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.
Excellent to the point review
These won't do depth meter right? I want a watch that can do both. Descent is my only choice?
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😊
Thanks for the video really helped
Why do they keep using exposed contacts? Unless you never sweat, the pins can and will oxidize or even corrode.
Is the max brightness different on these watches or is one set lower than the other? Tactix looks brighter.
Older F6x devices had screen issues. fixed now
The tactix delta solar way too expensive just for the solar and ballistic features, I might probably buy the original tactix delta i think it is the same watch
"I wish this is solar". FYI they have delta solar!!! Luckily I didn't order this yet.
Well now there is, months after my review. Lol
Jabber Tech not much difference IMO for the tactix model. Gotta be solar charging for 3 hours a day to make a somewhat of a difference. I believe the solar works best for the Instinct model.
For the average user, I don't see how the Delta is worth $150 Canadian more than the 6X sapphire. I mean sure at that price point, what's an extra $150 if you just like how the Delta looks more, which I find it looks better.
Doest it all just come down to personal preference and style anyways ?
@@TheJabberTech In this case, yes. Before your video, I thought the Delta had loads of special features over the Fenix 6X. Thanks for this video btw.
I think TACTIX screen looks a bit better ?
Because the 6x is sapphire wich looks a bit darker but it s way much stronger.
@@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.
@@matthewstephens6014 Good to know! Thanks for the info!
Would you say the Fenix 6x Sapphire is better than the tactix charlie.
Where can I get some to buy and is there any website that I can go to and get some to buy ?
Hello.. what is meant by the phrase describing the Garmin 6X Pro watch? Operating system ((Proprietary OS))
Contrast on the delta looks much better in this video.. was that visible in person? thanks
They are the same
what color is tactix delta? is there more than one color in this model?
Now if you could do one more comparison since Fenix 7 is out...Thank you
Coming up this week! Stay tuned
i dont understand why someone would want a watch that you need to charge and also a bluetooth connection?
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
How does the Delta compare to the 6x Pro. Is it the same as the 6x?
Is there a contrast and color differences between them ? Because the tacxis more colorful!
Fenix 6X was fixed with newer models
How much they weight ? I hope i didn't miss it
Why those watches show so diferrent ALT readings?
Isn't this weird?
he might not have calibrated one or both
Waiting for the next genaration tactix delta we hope we can make calls and sens messages without garmin services but my own carrier
that price difference makes it not worth. i'll stay with my 6x.
NO REAL difference in hardware but 200 bucks more
whats your wrist size? doesnt look bad on you, I wanted the 6x solar But i have a small wrist about 6.8inch
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 👍
Yes, absolutely
What brightness setting do you have the Delta on please thanks
What's the price for each of these watches?
How are these for people who have nickel allergy?
i dont believe there is any nickel involved on the outside of these two watches.
The Garmin Fenix 6x Pro would be the better model to compare with the Tactix Delta.
LOVE Garmin......pretty much dumped Casio at this point.
Which one is more durable??
That's no comparison... Those expensive watches and it comes down to what looks better on your wrist for you? There are major differences not discussed that I was hoping would be analyzed here. I don't know why you would consider the Delta whatsoever if you aren't going to use the applied ballistics or other mil related features.
Can you install bluechart g3 vision maps on either of these watches?
what do you think is better, this Garmin or Casio G-SHOCK GPR-B1000 when it comes to back track>?
This this is a Garmin video..Garmin wins!
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.
