Navigate Your Way

TracBack? feature navigates you back to your starting point the same way you came. Its built-in sensors provide information on heading, elevation and weather changes.
It records a GPS track log, creating a “bread crumb trail” as you move. It also allows you to mark locations, such as a start/finish line, course checkpoint or a campsite, vehicle or other point of interest. With tactix Bravo, you can create and follow courses as well.
tactix Bravo is equipped with both ANT+? wireless connectivity and Bluetooth?3 and has smart capabilities to wirelessly share locations, routes and geocaches.
Advanced Fitness Metrics
tactix Bravo watch is packed with training features to tell you about your form and fitness. The first is the VO2 max estimator. When used with a heart rate monitor¹, tactix Bravo crunches data, including your running speed, beats per minute and heart rate variability to estimate the maximum volume of oxygen you can consume per minute. Track changes to your VO2 max to see your fitness gains and to compare with your peers. Other fitness metrics include recovery advisor with a recovery timer and recovery check, plus a race predictor, which estimates your ideal finish time based on your current VO2 max number.
Advanced Running Dynamics and Physiological Metrics
Go further with your running data and tap into extended physiological1 metrics and advanced running dynamics2. When used with a heart rate monitor, tactix Bravo reports the following data:
Vertical oscillation and ratio ? the degree of 'bounce' in your running motion and the benefit ratio in stride length
Ground contact time and balance ? shows how much time, in the running motion, your foot is on the ground rather than in flight and lets you check your running symmetry
Cadence ? number of steps per minute
Stride length ? determines a responsive current pace
Physiological metrics measure your heart to provide:
Stress score
Performance condition
Lactate threshold
Altimeter, Barometer and Compass
tactix Bravo watch is equipped with ABC sensors to provide relevant, real-time information. The built-in altimeter provides elevation data to accurately monitor ascent and descent, while the barometer can be used to predict weather changes by showing short-term trends in air pressure. The 3-axis electronic compass keeps your bearing whether you’re moving or not.
tactix Bravo auto-calibrates its ABC sensors using its GPS receiver and also auto sets the time based on location. For an accurate temperature reading, pair it with our tempe(tm) external temperature sensor.
