With a 1.4-inch sapphire Amoled display and a 51-mm case, Garmin’s D2 Mach 1 Pro aviator watch is 4 mm larger than its predecessor, the D2 Mach 1. The larger watch has longer battery life, and the Pro runs up to 25 days in smartwatch mode—46 hours when using the fly activity.

New features include a flashlight, red shift mode, and ECG app. The price of the new watch is $1,399—$100 more than the regular D2 Mach 1. The LED flashlight is mounted on the top side of the carbon gray watch case and offers four variable white light intensities, a strobe light, and a red light. The case is made of “diamond-like carbon” titanium. Users can access all functions with five buttons or with the touchscreen. The watch comes with Garmin QuickFit carbon gray titanium and silicon bands.
