Garmin Singapore announced the launch of the tactix 8 \u2013 Cerakote Edition, a premium tactical smartwatch engineered for extreme conditions and uncompromising missions. Designed for professionals and adventurers who demand reliability in the field, the new Cerakote Edition pairs battle-ready durability with a refined, rugged aesthetic.<\/p>\n

Featuring a brilliant 1.4-inch AMOLED display, the tactix 8 \u2013 Cerakote Edition is constructed with a titanium bezel, sapphire crystal lens, and an integrated LED flashlight for enhanced visibility in low-light environments. With up to 29 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, users can stay focused on the mission without worrying about downtime.<\/p>\n

A Premium Cerakote Finish Built to Last<\/strong>
\nCerakote is a high-performance ceramic-polymer composite coating renowned for its exceptional resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and chemicals. Each Tactic 8 \u2013 Cerakote Edition smartwatch is meticulously sprayed and oven-cured, resulting in a durable finish that evolves. As the watch is worn, the coating develops a distinctive, weathered character, making every piece truly unique.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The smartwatch features a 51mm case and is available in two tactical-inspired Cerakote finishes: Slate Grey and Olive Drab, both designed to complement demanding outdoor and operational environments.<\/p>\n

Mission-Ready Capabilities Across Every Domain<\/strong>
\nBuilding on the proven tactix 8 platform, the Cerakote Edition includes Garmin\u2019s full suite of tactical, performance, navigation, and connected features, delivering versatility in any scenario.<\/p>\n

Tactical Features<\/strong>
\nUsers can input pack weight using the rucking activity profile, track airborne operations with the Jumpmaster activity supporting HAHO, HALO, and Static jumps, and view dual coordinate systems, such as MGRS and latitude\/longitude, on a single screen. Stealth Mode disables wireless communications while continuing to record distance and biometric data, without saving location data. The watch is also night vision goggle compatible and includes the Applied Ballistics\u00ae Ultralight solver for advanced long-range shooting solutions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Performance & Health<\/strong>
\nRated for 40-meter diving, the Tactix 8 \u2013 Cerakote Edition supports both scuba and apnea diving. It also offers advanced training tools, including strength training plans, sport-specific workouts, and real-time stamina tracking. Around-the-clock health monitoring features such as Body Battery\u2122 energy tracking, Pulse Ox\u00b9, and advanced sleep and nap detection provide deeper insights into overall wellness and recovery.<\/p>\n

Advanced Navigation<\/strong>
\nNavigate with confidence using TopoActive maps, worldwide golf course and ski resort maps, and a global aeronautical database for direct-to navigation or nearest-airport routing. Multi-band GPS with SatIQ\u2122 technology, combined with a 3-axis compass, gyroscope, and barometric altimeter, delivers superior positioning accuracy in challenging environments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Smart Connectivity<\/strong>
\nWhen paired with a compatible Apple\u00ae or Android\u2122 smartphone, users can make and receive calls directly from the watch using the built-in speaker and microphone, stay informed with smart notifications, and enjoy fast, secure payments with Garmin Pay\u2122 contactless payments.<\/p>\n

Availability<\/strong>
\nThe Garmin Tactix 8 \u2013 Cerakote Edition<\/a> will be available from 3 February 2026 at a suggested retail price of SGD 2,249. It will be sold at Garmin Brand Stores, Garmin Online Store, Lazada, Shopee, Takashimaya, and selected authorised retailers across Singapore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
