Gramin Tactix is a GPS watch designed specially for SWAT officers

 Garmin has been busy rolling out GPS watches over the last several weeks. The navigation company previously rolled out a watch called the Approach for golfers and the D2 GPS watch for pilots. Garmin has now rolled out a new GPS watch designed specifically for law enforcement and police special operations use.

The new GPS watch is called the Garmin tactix and it’s described as a high sensitivity GPS navigator and ABC watch. The tactix is water resistant to 50 m depth and can run up to 50 hours in GPS mode on a single charge. Garmin equips the watch with tide data for the US and Jumpmaster software designed to assist in amphibious and airborne operations.

The watch uses a matte black finish and it features a curved lens with a green backlight. The green backlight is used to prevent flare out when the user is wearing night vision devices. The glass is scratch resistant curved mineral glass designed to reduce hotspots from sun reflection. The watch face can also be switched to native mode for low light conditions.

Garmin says that the watch is good for up to 50 hours in UltraTrac mode, 16 hours in full GPS mode, and five weeks in watch mode per charge. Standard watch functions include alarms, tones, vibration alert, timer, stopwatch, and world clock. The watch also supports multiple time zones, military time, and zulu time at once. The GPS functionality has the ability to create routes, and record up to 1000 waypoints. It also has a breadcrumb feature making it easy to find your way back from wild. The watch will be available this fall for $449.99. SlashGear

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
