aviator watch series, three new GPS-enabled smartwatches built in a
variety of sizes and personalities for pilots and aviation
enthusiasts. New to the D2 aviator watch series, the D2 Delta PX

saturation awareness. Additionally, all D2 Delta watches come with

“The D2 Delta series merges modern style and functionality in a
sophisticated watch that is available in three distinct sizes
tailored to male and female pilots and aviation enthusiasts,” said
Carl Wolf, vice president of aviation marketing and sales. “Whether
you’re climbing into a single-pilot cockpit on the weekend,
shooting instrument approaches to minimums or flying
professionally, the D2 Delta transforms the aviator watch
market with exclusive aviation functions and connected features
that appeal to every pilot – regardless of what flying they
do.”
The premium D2 Delta PX features an elegant titanium gray
diamond-like carbon (DLC) finish on a large, 51mm bezel. Especially
useful in-flight and during high altitude activities, the D2 Delta
PX exclusively incorporates wrist-based Pulse Ox to help monitor
oxygen saturation levels.
The D2 Delta S features a stylish rose gold-tone bezel
and is lighter, sleeker and smaller than previous D2 models. At
42mm, the D2 Delta S is ideal for smaller wrists and comes with a
beige leather strap that makes it easy to transition from the
cockpit to a night out. The third model in the series, the D2
Delta, measures 47mm and has a silver titanium bezel, as well
as a premium brown leather strap.
The D2 Delta series seamlessly integrates with select Garmin
avionics to achieve a harmonious, connected cockpit. The D2 Delta
can connect wirelessly to the Garmin Pilot™ app, as well as the
GTN™ 650/750 touchscreen navigator series or the G1000® NXi
integrated flight deck via Flight Stream 510 to enable
wireless flight plan transfer to the watch. When connected, all
models in the new D2 Delta series can receive additional
information from compatible avionics including GPS position
information, altitude, airspeed, groundspeed, magnetic heading,
outside air temperature and more.
Bluetooth®-capable music streaming enriches every activity as
all models of the D2 Delta incorporate integrated music
storage of up to 500 songs within the watch, offering phone-free
listening. Download playlists from select music streaming services3
or transfer customized playlists from a computer directly to the
watch. Once the playlist is loaded, pilots can pair a D2 Delta with
a compatible Bluetooth Garmin audio panel such as the GMA™ 245, GMA
345 or GMA 350c. The D2 Delta can also be paired with a Bluetooth
headset or headphones (sold separately).
All sizes of the D2 Delta also include Garmin Pay, a contactless
payment solution, allowing customers to leave their cash and credit
cards at home. Utilizing their Garmin Pay wallet, customers have
the same benefits and rewards of the physical cards, with the
convenience of having them available on their wrist.
The D2 Delta aviator watch series also features new smartwatch
alerting tailored to aviation operations. These new alerts
include:
- Configurable pressure altitude
notifications, which consists of a series of vibrations when
arriving at a selected altitude;
- A fuel tank timer that vibrates at
configurable intervals to help remind pilots to switch fuel tanks
while in-flight;
- A cross track error notification, which
triggers a vibrating alert when pilots deviate from an active
flight plan.
The D2 Delta aviator watch series come preloaded with a full
multisport toolset for running, golfing, cycling, skiing, workouts
and more. It is also water rated to 100 meters so it can withstand
swimming and other water activities. When paired with a compatible
smartphone4, users can send, receive and respond to text messages
and see social media updates, app alerts, calls, emails and more
via the watch. Garmin Elevate™ wrist-based heart rate
technology also monitors heart rate 24/7 alongside daily activity
tracking. Because the D2 Delta is versatile and supports a variety
of activities, QuickFit® bands allow users to easily switch between
stylish leather and metal accessory bands to sporty silicone in
seconds and without tools.
All of the new D2 Delta models come preloaded with a worldwide
aviation database and incorporate signature aviation accents,
dedicated direct-to and nearest airport buttons, as well as the
option to input a customizable aircraft tail number on the face of
the watch. A large, sunlight-readable, high-resolution color
display with an LED backlight on the watch face, allows pilots to
view data in most lighting conditions in the cockpit. The D2 Delta
PX offers up to 18 hours of battery life in GPS and Pulse Ox mode
and up to 20 days in smartwatch mode.
The D2 Delta aviator watch is expected to be available in August
for a suggested retail price of $899 for the D2 Delta S; $949 for
the D2 Delta; and $1,249 for the D2 Delta PX titanium edition. All
three versions of the D2 Delta also come with a silicone band and
free aviation database updates. Garmin will be showcasing the new
D2 Delta aviator watch series at the 2018 EAA AirVenture fly-in, in
Oshkosh, Wis., July 23-29, 2018. To learn more, visit
