On the other hand, and without leaving the navigation section, the Tactix Bravo includes altimeter, barometer and three-axis electronic compass. In this aspect it is noteworthy that the device is able to calibrate these sensors with the GPS receiver automatically, which results in the user having the most accurate information possible. In this way, the altimeter provides the necessary altitude data to have under control both ascents and descents. With the barometer you will know the weather forecasts to the millimeter. And the electronic compass allows you to maintain the correct heading in all situations.

In addition, if the Tactix Bravo is configured with an external temperature sensor, the watch can also provide an accurate temperature reading at all times.

From running speed, through the estimation of maximum oxygen consumption, to recovery control.

But it also has a very interesting function such as the race forecast, through which the Tactix Bravo can make an estimate of the ideal finishing time, taking into account the pattern of maximum oxygen consumption.

On the other hand, the different running dynamics (cadence, stride length and vertical oscillation) contribute to obtaining a detailed analysis of the training. In addition, physiological metrics:performance condition, lactate threshold and stress score (measures heart rate variability).

Smart notifications and quantifier mode

Another interesting section of the Garmin Tactix Bravo is in its smart notifications, which allow the user to stay connected at all times. Thanks to the wireless signal from a compatible smartphone, this Garmin GPS watch will display received emails, text messages and alerts, even in the middle of a mountain route.
