FEATURES

Built To Endure

This advanced tactical GPS smartwatch features a bright 1.4-inch solar charged display, titanium bezel and sapphire lens, and enhanced graphical interface. It’s tested to U.S. military standards for thermal, shock and water resistance.

You're In Command

Dedicated tactical features include a jumpmaster activity, waypoint projection, dual-position GPS format, stealth mode, kill switch, compatibility with night vision goggles and rucking activity.

Lead The Charge

Navigate the outdoors with superior positioning accuracy, thanks to multi-band GPS with SatIQ™ technology plus built-in sensors for the 3-axis compass, gyroscope and barometric altimeter.

Applied Ballistics

The preloaded Applied Ballistics® solver gives you access to aiming solutions for long-range shooting in the field.

Rectreational Diving

With a 40-metre dive rating, you’re ready to go to greater depths than ever with support for scuba and apnoea dive activities.

Built-in Flashlight

To help guide your way in low-light conditions, a built-in multicolour LED flashlight provides quick access to a bright, steady beam in either green or white light. In NVG mode, white is disabled, and the green flashlight becomes dimmable.

Night Vision Capability

Whether viewed under NODs or operating in the dark, NVG mode allows for stealthy operation with controls to further dim brightness and black out the display to reduce detectability.

Stealth Mode

While keeping the tool watch operational, stealth mode stops storing and sharing your GPS position and disables wireless connectivity and communication.

Projected Waypoints

Set and save remote geo positions to be used later for navigation.

Rucking Activity

A dedicated rucking activity profile allows you to input your pack weight.
