“Beyond the Basics” proceeds to talk through the basics.

Setting the brightness of the green LED would also be a great option outside the night vision mode.

Great review and walkthrough: this is my first video after Tx7 purchase :)

[@Smatnm]

Question from a shift worker….
What’s a “sleep schedule”?

[@bev8200]

Very useful information I would love a video showing how to save addresses in the watch when using it for gps guidance.

[@anubis13131313]

Does this have the capability of duel world time for those who are deployed? Asking for a friend.

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. Yes, you have the ability to add multiple time zones and quickly select the time zone you want to view on the watch.

[@sierranumberfive6719]

Will Accuracy1st feature be added to the AB application?

[@allenroman3002]

What is the difference between the amoled edition vs the pro ballistics one if you can get the ballistics on the amoled version?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. There are a few differences between the Tactix 7 AMOLED Edition and Tactix 7 Pro Ballistics Edition. The biggest difference is the AMOLED display vs. the MIP display on the Pro Ballistics Edition. When it comes to Applied Ballistics, some Garmin devices come with the Applied Ballistics software license included in the purchase price like the Pro Ballistics Edition. Select Garmin devices (like the AMOLED Edition) have the ability to unlock or upgrade Applied Ballistics software license through the AB Synapse - Garmin app. This would require an additional fee to unlock. Below is a link comparing the two Tactix 7 devices you mentioned. If you want to just see the differences, you can check the box that says "Show only differences". I hope this helps.

I want the tactix pro. I don’t need it. I want it.

[@magistradox39]

I have it. But don't use most features. It's just a nice watch.

[@tylerstevensmart]

I am having trouble getting the AB Synapse - Garmin app to recognize my watch. I also can't seem to find any help for it. Any recommended troubleshooting advice?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Sorry to hear you are having trouble getting your AB Synapse app to communicate with your watch. Try shutting down the watch and phone and then powering back on. If that still doesn't work, please reach out to our Product Support team at 800-800-1020 or support.garmin.com. They will be happy to troubleshoot and assist.

[@otarigabunia1078]

I need your advice please. Sometime I accidently push on the buttons in my pocket or while doing some activity. How can I lock my tactix 7 pro, to avoid such problem?

[@GarminRetailTraining]

Thank you for your question. The Auto Lock feature allows you to lock the buttons and touchscreen automatically to prevent accidental presses either "during an activity" or "not during an activity". Hold MENU, and select System>Auto Lock. I hope this helps.

[@user-ew8lt6yi2i]

no thx, i'll just wait for fenix 8 sapphire solar moon black hole etc @ at least $2000

[@saucissonfurtif]

Say the Apple Watch ultra 2 user L O L !

[@blue1901]

OLED on a watch is STUPID

[@magistradox39]

Beautiful for maps.

[@narosser]

Not at all stupid - just depends on the user requirements.
