rugged watch

Garmin Philippines has announced the expansion of its solar range of smartwatches with the new tactix Delta - Solar Edition. The watch also features a night mode to switch between day and night views and a screen that can be read by night vision goggles. Black Shark has introduced the GS3 Ultra, a rugged smartwatch that builds on last year’s GS3 with tougher construction, more advanced positioning, and longer battery life. Black Shark says users can choose from up to 270 watch faces out of the box. As a rugged wearable, the GS3 Ultra carries MIL STD 810 certification for durability, 5ATM water resistance, and an IP69K rating, which means it can withstand high pressure, high temperature water jets on top of dust and water protection. For fitness and health tracking, the watch supports more than 160 sports modes and can automatically detect common activities such as walking, running, elliptical workouts, and rowing. Moreover, we feel like these companies are looking at something more as each one are confirming that they're working on something else other than a smartphone or a tablet -- specifically a smartwatch. Samsung has already confirmed that they are working on a smartwatch, while companies such as LG, Apple and Google were reported to be working on one too.
