Battle of the Ultra-Rugged Watches: Apple Watch Ultra vs Garmin Tactix vs Luminox Navy SEAL (2025 Showdown)
Apple Watch Ultra features a 49mm aerospace-grade titanium case, a flat sapphire crystal, and weighs about 61g. Garmin’s Tactix 7 AMOLED Edition and the Tactix 8 come in about 47mm and 51mm sizes with a fiber-reinforced polymer core, a black DLC-coated titanium bezel, and a sapphire crystal. Luminox Navy SEAL watches use CARBONOX cases (44–45mm Navy SEAL 3500) with a unidirectional bezel, hardened mineral glass, 25-year tritium glow, and carry a 2-year warranty. Apple Watch Ultra provides roughly 36 hours of typical use, up to about 60 hours in Low Power Mode, with about 80% charge in an hour. Garmin
