Smith & Bradley goes Full Circle To Change The Tactical Watch Game

Thursday, July 21st, 2016

Winter Park, Florida, July 11, 2016 – The evolution of the outdoor and tactical watch is upon us. The roll-out of the SANS-13 Evolution on Kickstarter is going to make some serious waves in the watch world. Smith & Bradley went back to the drawing board with the SANS-13 lead by watch designer/engineer Jerommie Smith and input from their customers across the outdoor and tactical community. Smith & Bradley developed the best engineered watch in the marketplace with the industries BEST ILLUMINATION technology–period

The illumination technology is set to be on par with tritium with a powerful glow lasting for at least 6-8 hours in darkness. The polymer used for illumination was once a “Lume Tube” is now a “Lume Plate” for way more power and much longer glow. The Polymer Lume Plates are sure to shake up the tactical watch market.

Other Technical Features include:

A Ronda Swiss 505 Quartz Movement, 1 Jewel, 45 month Battery Life

Crystal: Sapphire with Anti-Reflective Coating

Case: 4mm, 316L Stainless Steel

Caseback: 316L Stainless Steel

Bracelet: 24mm, 316 Stainless Steel Screw Bar for each link

Crown: 7mm with Inner Seal

Crown Tube: Dual O-Ring Seal

Dial: Sandwich Dial with Polymer Lume Plate Background

Hands: Lume Plate integrated into hands

Oh Yeah, you can back it now for $250.00 on Kickstarter. Luminox should be nervous.

Suunto Traverse Alpha

Monday, May 9th, 2016

While it’s not exactly a ‘tactical’ watch, the Traverse Alpha from Suunto is right at home in the outdoors.

I prefer navigation watches that use both GPS/GLONASS and this one does. Other features include moon phase calendar, gunshot detection, sunrise alert, weather trend, and red backlight for nighttime use.

That gunshot detection feature is cool for the hunter. When a shot is detected by the Treverse Alpha is drops a pin on your route. When used in conjunction with movescount you can visualize your hunt on a topographic map. By recording the position of other events on your hunt and linking pictures and videos, you can produce a short movie of your hunt that you can share with others.

Tested to MIL STD 819G*, the Traverse Alpha features a knurled stainless steel bezel, water repellent nylon strap and scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass. Vibration alerts and a customizable, night vision goggle compatible red backlight help you stay unnoticed.

Available in Foliage and Stealth color variants.

Garmin tactix Bravo

Thursday, February 25th, 2016

The Garmin tactix Bravo is first and foremost a watch, and a good looking one at that. But that’s not all that’s going on with the tactix. It’s a GPS-enabled multi-sport training watch that offers some great features for militray and LE users. For instance, it processes both US GPS and Russian GLONASS signals meaning you’ve got a better shot at knowing where you are in a GPS-denied environment. Additionally, the tactix offers apps such as Jumpmaster which makes data all the more usable. Also, GPS features like track-back allow you to find your way back to a point of origin and the GPS data is augmented by altimeter, barometer and compass features.

Here are a few highlights:

2-inch high-resolution, sunlight-readable Garmin Chroma Display with high-strength domed sapphire lens, capable of switching between 2 modes: day use and night vision goggle compatibility

Omni-directional stainless steel EXO antenna, with GPS/GLONASS satellite reception, has the ability to track in more challenging environments

All-black, rugged and durable design inspired by the requirements of tactical gear intended for use in the field

Black PVD-coated stainless steel buttons, knurled start/stop button, rear case plate and screws

High-sensitivity GPS/GLONASS satellite reception has the ability to track in more challenging environments than GPS alone

Dual-mode operation optimizes the sunlight-readable display for day use or night vision goggle compatibility

The tactix is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It can last up to 20 hours on a single charge in GPS training mode, 50 hours in Ultra-Trac mode and six weeks in watch mode. It features a PVD coated Black case with nylon strap or silicone band. Finally, there are lots of apps available for the tactix, with more coming all of the time.

For my friends interested in purchasing Garmin products, I always recommend Strohman Enterprise. They’ll take great care of you, offering preferred pricing to Law Enforcement, Military, and Government Customers.
