Garmin has saturated the market with a long list of sports watches and the latest platform to serve double duty as a smart/ aviator watch is the D2 Air. Priced at $499, we think the Air is a welcome addition to the D2 series watch line. It has a lower profile and straightforward feature set, plus it reduces awkward bezel buttons from five to two in favor of a touchscreen.
We’ve been beta testing the new D2 Air and have grown to appreciate its simplicity, its ability to work we’ll as a fitness tracker and that it has just enough wrist-based aviation data for preflight planning. Here’s a field report.
