Garmin Tactix 8 47mm AMOLED Watch

A couple weeks in and very pleased so far. I know I am not using all the functionality yet but it has been an excellent replacement for the Tactix Delta it replaced. Greater health insights, surprisingly comfortable band, and lighter. Haven't used ballistics yet. Love I can interface with my trolling motor.

I've had this watch for about 3 weeks and I'm still exploring the features/options available. Due to my work schedule, I'm unable to use or test all of the functions that I want to. Navigating the menu(s) has become a breeze and I thoroughly enjoy the apps that I've used, so far. Tracking my steps and heart rate for exercise, is what I appreciate most. The battery lasted from 100% to 40% a little over 2 weeks. This is with updates, adding apps, exploring features, replying to texts, etc. Pros: Can respond to phone text(when in range of phone), lots of available apps(free and paid/subscription), notifications from phone are instantaneous(email, text, phone calls, etc) Cons: Learning curve for using buttons(minor), Can't generate a text message, unless you and end user download the Garmin Messenger app(but can respond to text messages, if you do so promptly. I have found no way to access previously sent messages.
