tactix 7 AMOLED Edition Features
- Adaptive display: The 1.4-inch screen is readable in full sunlight and can be dimmed to below a single nit of brightness when there is a need to go undetected.
- Night vision compatible flashlight: The newest edition provides a dimmable green flashlight capable of being used when Night Vision Goggle (NVG) mode is activated, helping preserve the user’s natural night vision while providing light in the immediate area.
- Heart rate sensor: Enhanced optical sensor and specific algorithms offer improved performance tracking for a wider variety of activities, making it easier to better understand how the body is responding to specific environments and physical challenges.
- Red Shift mode: Red Shift is more than just a black and red watch face. Instead, it changes the entire watch interface to shades of red to help preserve night vision by blocking the colors of light that constrict pupils and can also help reduce sleep cycle disturbances.
The tactix 7 AMOLED Edition is built to a military standard (MIL-STD-810) for thermal, shock and water performance, water-rated to 10 ATM1 and can remain mission-ready for up to 31 days. Button guards with reinforced metal lugs are paired with a carbon gray DLC (diamond-like coating) titanium bezel, a scratch-resistant sapphire lens, fiber-reinforced polymer housing and titanium rear cover, and black tactical nylon QuickFit bands.
