Most capable D2 smartwatch yet includes full
suite of aviation features, longer battery life and
flashlight
OLATHE,
Kan., Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin
(NYSE: GRMN) today announced its latest aviator smartwatch – the
D2™ Mach 1 Pro. Featuring a large AMOLED
touchscreen display, up to 25 days of battery life1, an
LED flashlight and more – D2 Mach 1 Pro is designed for the most
demanding pilot lifestyles, including those who fly professionally.
Sporting classic pilot watch styling and premium materials like
sapphire and titanium, the D2 Mach 1 Pro is ready to be worn both
in and out of the cockpit. With extensive aviation, health, fitness
and smartwatch features – D2 Mach 1 Pro redefines what pilots
should expect from their smartwatch.
"This year marks 10 years of
the D2 series – a smartwatch line that pilots have relied on to
combine aviation tools with the latest smartwatch technology. The
D2 Mach 1 Pro provides an extensive set of advanced capabilities
that pilots use every day, all while touting battery life that can
withstand even the long-haul commercial pilot trips. Features like
the LED flashlight and large AMOLED display, combined with the
high-end materials, make this the most premium-built D2 smartwatch
yet." –Carl Wolf, Garmin Vice President of Aviation Sales and
Marketing
New features pilots will love
- A built-in LED flashlight offers variable white light
intensities, a strobe function and red light for flight deck
operations.
- Improved battery life touts up to 25 days in smartwatch
mode and up to 46 hours in the Fly activity, perfect for the
professional pilots who complete their trip over multiple
days.
- Red Shift Mode changes the entire watch interface to
shades of red to help preserve night vision, which provides for
potentially clearer sight for demanding night flying
conditions.
- The ECG app2 allows users to record their
heart rhythm and check for signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib).
Users can take a 30-second ECG recording and view the results
immediately on their smartwatch and, optionally, later in the
Garmin Connect™ smartphone app.
- When pilots aren't taking to the skies, they can get a better
understanding of their fitness levels and track their performance
with more than 30 built-in sports apps and advanced training
features like hill score and endurance score.
Designed for pilots
Built for 24/7 wear, the carbon gray D2 Mach 1 Pro combines a
durable design and premium materials like sapphire and titanium
with a vibrant and sunlight-readable 1.4" AMOLED display. The 51mm
watch case features a diamond-like carbon (DLC) titanium bezel and
stainless steel 5-button design, allowing for quick access to
flying tools, fitness stats, smart notifications3 and
more – all on the responsive touchscreen interface. Compatible
with a wide variety of metal, leather, nylon and silicone
QuickFit™ bands, the D2 Mach 1 Pro can be styled for
every type of event, whether it's a workout at the gym or a night
on the town.
Premium aviation features on your wrist
The D2 Mach 1 Pro includes all the preflight, in-flight and
postflight features pilots have come to know and trust from the D2
series, including a worldwide aeronautical database, HSI, Direct-to
and moving map — all available without a phone connection. Pilots
can stay informed with easy access to NEXRAD3, METARs,
TAFs and MOS4 weather reports — alongside custom weather
alerts as well as non-weather alerts like time, distance,
altitude and a fuel timer. Utilize the wrist-based Pulse Ox
sensor5 to monitor blood oxygen levels and
barometric altimeter for altitude alerts. And in case of an
engine-related issue, the D2 Mach 1 Pro can show the best glide
speed, estimated glide distance and glide time, along with a
bearing pointer to the nearest airport and a list of alternate
airports.
Flight logging is a breeze with the D2 Mach 1 Pro, which
automatically starts tracking flights on takeoff, then
automatically transfers the date, duration, total flight time and
route to the user's flyGarmin.com logbook3. Pilots
can connect with the Garmin
Pilot™ app to seamlessly transfer
flight plans to the watch and view the list of waypoints included
in their route. Additionally, for pilots operating a
PlaneSync™-equipped aircraft, the D2 Mach 1 Pro can be used to
access the aircraft dashboard to view status
information6 including fuel, electrical, database and
location information while away from the aircraft.
Customized fitness
With dozens of built-in sports apps – including new team sport
activities like football, baseball, softball and more – D2 Mach 1
Pro provides data and insights for many passions. Whether working
out at a gym or in the comfort of one's home, the D2 Mach 1 Pro
tracks activities like strength, cardio, indoor rowing, stair
stepping, yoga and HIIT. Users can also take advantage of daily
workout suggestions or follow animated cardio, strength, yoga and
Pilates workouts right on their watch screen. For those exploring
the great outdoors, they can keep track of adventures like hiking,
mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding, surfing, whitewater rafting
and more.
Around-the-clock wearability
The D2 Mach 1 Pro is designed for all-day wear and includes
advanced health and wellness tools, as well as a suite of smart
features to keep users connected while on the go. Loaded with 24/7
health monitoring features, the D2 Mach 1 Pro includes Body
Battery™ energy monitoring, all-day stress tracking, jet
lag advisor, advanced sleep monitoring and sleep score, and
more.
Packed with connected features, the D2 Mach 1 Pro lets users
receive smart notifications3; download songs from
Spotify®, Deezer or Amazon Music7 for
phone-free listening; check their calendar; breeze through checkout
lines with Garmin
Pay™ contactless payments8; and
more. Like all Garmin smartwatches, the D2 Mach 1 Pro can be used
with either Android or
Apple® smartphones.
