Flight Test: Garmin D2 Air Smartwatch
Garmin's D2 Air smartwatch packs a lot of features into a more reasonably priced device with an Amoled touchscreen.

Garmin has been manufacturing various types of smartwatches for a while, many of which target the sports and activity market, and naturally aviation watches are part of that mix. Until it unveiled the new D2 Air last September, Garmin’s options for pilots were limited to the more expensive D2 Delta series, although prices have dropped since the D2 Air was released.

With the D2 Air Garmin now offers pilots a dedicated aviation watch at the lower price of $499 and without all the features of the more expensive Delta series (currently ranging from $749 to $1,099). If you can live without the extra Delta features, then then the Air might be the Garmin watch you’ve been waiting for.
