Product details
Solar-Powered Endurance for the Field
The tactix 8 Solar Elite houses its titanium bezel and rear cover in a rugged fiber-reinforced polymer case, tested to U.S. military standards for thermal, shock, and water resistance. Its always-on transflective display sits under sapphire lens protection and draws power from a solar charging panel, stretching battery life to up to 30 days in smartwatch mode standard, or 48 days with regular sun exposure - and up to 107 days in battery saver mode with solar.
This Elite edition ships with the full Applied Ballistics Elite solver preloaded for advanced long-range calculations, alongside stealth mode to disable GPS logging and wireless sharing, night-vision-compatible controls, waypoint projection, a jumpmaster activity profile, and a rucking mode with pack-weight input. A multicolor green/white LED flashlight and dual-position format support round out the tactical toolkit.
Multi-band GPS with SatIQ technology keeps positioning accurate in demanding terrain, and the watch carries 32GB of onboard storage plus Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. It's rated to 10 ATM water resistance with a dive-capable depth sensor, and ships on a black textile bracelet built for daily field use.
