There’s another new pilot watch from Garmin – it’s the premium featured and priced D2 Mach 1 GPS.
It’s a classically styled watch with a touchscreen display and a host of tools for flying plus and fitness features.
The D2 Mach 1 can keep tabs on the weather such as METARs and TAFs, receive automatic alerts for changing conditions1, and help navigate with the moving map and horizontal situation indicator (HSI).
The watch face includes a UTC pointer, which can also display and help pilots manage multiple time zones, including Zulu time, and a 24-hour clock around the bezel, along with seven customisable data fields.
And in case of emergency, the D2 Mach 1 can show the best glide speed, estimated glide distance and glide time during an engine-related issue, along with a bearing pointer to the nearest airport and a list of alternate airports.
Available now, the D2 Mach 1 is offered with a titanium bracelet or an oxford brown leather band for suggested retail prices of $1299.99 and $1199.99, respectively. Both styles include a trial subscription of the Garmin Pilot app.
