Its DLC-coated titanium bezel offers maximum abrasion and corrosion resistance.
Premium watch with GPS and tactical functionality
Chart your path to success
Whether you're on your bike or out for a run, the tactix Charlie watch's built-in navigation features and maps help you stay oriented and on the right course. Pre-installed, full-color TopoActive maps of Europe are included, with optimized data for navigation and location tracking at a glance. Reception via GPS and GLONASS satellite networks provides better position tracking in demanding environments than using GPS alone. In addition, you can use the watch to create and track routes and mark locations, such as your campsite, vehicle, roadblocks or other points of interest.
Explore nature your way
In addition to map guidance, your tactix watch also provides you with ABC (altimeter, barometer and compass) sensors to guide you on and off the beaten path. The integrated altimeter provides you with altitude data to more accurately control ascent and descent in activities such as hiking, while the three-axis electronic compass helps you stay on course whether you're moving or not.
Integrated tactical functions
Tactical features of the watch include Jumpmaster activity, waypoint projection and a GPS coordinate data page with dual position format compatible with military grid reference system (MGRS) display, degrees/minutes/seconds, and more.
Monitor your performance, training and recovery
tactix Charlie offers advanced performance monitoring capabilities for professional-level fitness training and sports activities. Training status is a new tool that automatically evaluates your recent exercise history and performance indicators, so you know if your training is productive, if you've reached your peak fitness or if you're overexerting yourself. Discover the new anaerobic training effect offers the possibility of obtaining information on a fundamental aspect of training, as it indicates how it influences your ability to reach your maximum level. You can also consult your overall training load, which measures your exercise volume over the last 7 days and compares it to the optimal interval for your fitness level and recent training history. As an additional motivational measure, you can also download advanced training sessions and training plans from
Wrist heart rate sensor
Elevate wrist heart rate technology™1 allows you to track your heart rate without wearing a chest strap. In addition to counting steps and monitoring sleep, the watch uses heart rate to provide information on calories burned and quantify the intensity of your activities. It also measures the heart rate variability to calculate a stress score that will help you assess the level of activity your body is prepared for.
Stay connected
Tactix Charlie supports smart notifications by pairing it with a compatible device. Receive emails, text messages and alerts directly on the watch, whether you're in the middle of a route, in the field or simply away from your desk. Other connectivity features offered include automatic uploads to the virtual sport community
Top quality materials and maximum performance
The tactix Charlie is designed to be taken anywhere. The highest quality materials have been used in its manufacture. The surface of the lightweight titanium bezel incorporates a DLC coating and also features stainless steel buttons, providing maximum resistance to abrasion and corrosion. It features a curved scratch-resistant sapphire lens and brilliant display
