Here’s a comparison of the current Garmin tactical watch models: Instinct, tactix, MARQ & Foretrex.

The Instinct series are a stripped down version of the tactix series. If you need maps, dive features and an all around smartwatch, then the tactix are for you. If you don't need maps and connected features, consider the Instinct series. If you need something with AAA battaries that can be changed on a whim, then the Foretrex series is for you.

They all feature dual drid coordinates, night vision mode and stealth mode.
