Garmin Tactix 8: The Do-It-All Smartwatch for Hunters Who Need More Than Just GPS
May 8, 2025
The Garmin Tactix 8 is another level of smartwatch for the dedicated hunter.
I can still feel the joy. When I was no more than 8 years old, my parents got me a new watch, and man, was it a fancy one. It was the first I had ever had that lit up the tiny black-and-white digital screen so I could read the time in the dark! You heard it here, folks. It was groundbreaking at the time.
Fast-forward over 20 years, and that watch would likely be found in a bin labeled “FREE” at a thrift store. Watch technology has certainly come leaps and bounds since I was a child, and this Garmin Tactix 8 watch? Well, it may be the best watch I’ve personally found for the dedicated hunter, fitness guru, recreational shooter, etc.
In short: Hunters looking for a top-of-the-line smartwatch applicable to their hunting and everyday lives, the Garmin Tactix 8 should be on the radar. Just be prepared for a hefty price tag, and it won’t be a replacement for a digital mapping app like onXhunt.
