The watch&#8217;s <strong>dual-layer display<\/strong> allows it to switch to a monochrome LCD for a continuous time display. Using the monochrome display allows for better visibility in the sun and if used in &#8220;timepiece mode&#8221; only the battery can last over a month. Another distinguishing outdoor feature is the watch&#8217;s built-in <strong>sensors<\/strong> including an altimeter, barometer, and compass, as well as an accelerometer and gyrometer for fitness tracking features.<\/p>\n<p>The watch comes pre-loaded with useful outdoor apps such as MyRadar for weather, Runkeeper for route tracking and recording, ViewRanger for navigation, and Yamap for GPS Trekking.<\/p>\n<p>List price is $500 with availability in April 2016.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wsd.casio.com\/us\/en\/\"><strong>wsd.casio.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 658px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-version=\"6\">\n<div style=\"padding: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background: #F8F8F8; line-height: 0; margin-top: 40px; padding: 50.0% 0; text-align: center; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BATCnPyBAXl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A photo posted by Miamimike835 (@miamimike835)<\/a> on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2016-01-09T00:04:39+00:00\">Jan 8, 2016 at 4:04pm PST<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\" async=\"\" defer=\"defer\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><\/center><center><\/p>\n<h2>Garmin Tactix Bravo<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48\" src=\"https:\/\/www.toughgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/garmin_tactix_bravo.jpg\" alt=\"Garmin Tactix Bravo\" width=\"800\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.toughgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/garmin_tactix_bravo.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.toughgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/garmin_tactix_bravo-300x106.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.toughgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/garmin_tactix_bravo-768x271.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Garmin Tactix Bravo<\/strong> is the latest version of Garmin&#8217;s tactical GPS smartwatch.
