I agree that the weight should be always the same for the same configuration.
Stating Mll-STD 810 isn't contradicting MIL-STD 810G.
The letters behind the 810 point towards the version of the MIL-STD…
Garmin should say something like: sorry, an issue with the box label for clarification.
Someone seems to have a problem with the alphabet..

I would expect nothing less than a handwritten letter of apology from the CEO to all customers affected by this huge mistake. The employee who made the mistake will be fired, of course.
... or maybe this isn’t such a big issue after all?

No, they should apologize for mislabeling the watch. According to today's support email:
"Good day, In the meantime I have also received feedback regarding the information on the packaging of the Tactix Delta: Correct is 97g and military standard is 810. The packaging was subsequently revised in a running change. It is therefore possible that you still have old packaging on hand. We wish you a good week and good health in the future. Best regards,“
I have to scratch off the "G" on the watch
Ok, since 2019 MIL-STD-810H is the current, MIL-STD-810G was issued in 2014. What does us Mil-STD 810 say???
This is the oldest standard (over 40 years old). But MIL SPEC is often just advertising. Only one of the many criteria has to be fulfilled in order to be allowed to advertise the product. It is sufficient, for example, if the watch can withstand rain. But that's not my point. It's just another example of how Garmin handles product information. This is not an isolated case.
At least it's the same on the box and back for the Instinct Tactical:

The letters behind the 810 point towards the version of the MIL-STD they used to derive the testing methods.
To be completely accurate, Garmin would also need to specify which methods they have used/tested against.
810 for example also includes a test against gunfire-vibration -- used for equipment installed on a A10 aircraft to see if it till operates after firing 1000 rounds.
The wording "tested" does not confirm that they succeeded in the tests that they have done.
