6X DLC vs Tactix Delta £50 difference ?

MiniEggS over 5 years ago

I've just had an email about Tactix Delta watch

https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/p/696005

It's £50 more than the DLC Saphire 6X

Anyone know the difference ?

You can use the 6X Pro beta firmware without loss of TD specific features.

It's the same as the 6x Pro Sapphire with the addition of:

- Stealth Mode

- Night Vision Mode

- Kill Switch

- Dual Grid Coordinates

- Jumpmaster App

- Knurled buttons

Somebody forgot Domed Sapphire, like the MARQ. I believe the F6X uses flat sapphire. Domed should cut down on glare.

There are 2 reasons why I consider the Tactix Delta over the Fenix 6X Sapphire:

there seem to be no issues with the blueish screen with Tactix, which would drive me nuts for a watch that expensive
It's Black DLC vs. grey DLC - which i personally like better and it's more expensive (with a leather strap that i wouldn't use) on the 6 Sapphire

BUT: can someone please confirm that I can use the 6X SW betas on the Tactix? And if so: if that's possible, do I lose the Tactix specific features like night vision etc.? Not that I really need those as I am not military, but would be good to know.

Thanks!

You can change your location format to MGRS under system settings on the 6x.

Hi Carl

How's the DLC coating on the bezel holding up ?
