Completely agree. I really wish Garmin would partner with Foreflight.

Good to know.

I appreciate that!

Jest pan nadal zadowolony? Zastanawiam się nad kupnem tego modelu 🙂

@@danieltrzcinski5987 Tak, jestem zadowolony, w powietrzu tez fajnie działa🙂

@@grzegorzo4875 ja nie jestem pilotem (niestety :)) ale lubię ten klimat i podobają mi się zegarki z lotniczym zacięciem. Szukam czegoś do treningów a ten dodatkowo jest lotniczy 🙂

Thanks for the correction.

Thanks for bringing this up. This is a critical point to make, since the oximeter in these watches is marginal at best, and without a CO-oximeter, it is useless in high CO, and might give the pilot a false sense of security. Probably worth making a correction to the video.

Yes. There is a barometric altimeter that can be displayed.

Hey there Marco! You should be able to change the unit of measurement that the watch uses in the settings under Settings - System - Units.

This watch isn’t intended for primary navigation. It helps check weather, quickly look up info on airports, track your flights and navigate to airports if need be along with many other things, but it doesn’t store waypoints that can be used to fly sequences that I know of.

It gets it’s weather info from your phone. If you are flying for a while, and out of cellphone coverage, you are going to need some type of ADSB-in device or satellite to get updated weather.

You can select inches, mmHG, Millibars, or Hectopascals. I checked and the METAR will display the units you have selected for barometric pressure, but It doesn’t adjust for visibility or cloud heights in Metric.

Hey Fernando, You can totally download your own music or audio files to the watch. I believe there is an application for that you will need called Garmin Express which allows you to link your computer to your watch and move the music over.

@@DozenDuzit Thank you!

Congrats on UPT. If you get Sheppard IFF let me know, I’ll be one of your instructors. As far as the watch, If you are in the market for a smartwatch and you fly, I highly recommend the air X10. It has all the features of the Fenix series, is cheaper, and has some cool flying features. If you want to track your flights well, maybe look at the Mach 1. Under G’s the X10 doesn’t update with the GPS as much as the Mach 1 meaning that in aerobatics (or hopefully BFM later) the Mach 1 will track the maneuvers really well. The x10 has more zig zag line tracking. It is also twice the price, so just depends on your budget. Both are great options though. Check out my Mach 1 review. Good luck in UPT!

@@DozenDuzit thanks for the reply! I watched your review of the Mach 1 and like the features. It looks quite a bit larger, did you find it to be an encumbrance to flying/daily life/workouts? Aside from the price, that’s the other piece that is the major drawback for me. Thanks again!

Honestly after making this video I have done some more research and I’m not sure. It will Definitely be able to tell you hypoxia for altitude, but I’m hesitant to confirm the ability to tell it for CO.

@Mike Herron, you are correct. A standard pulse ox will not detect CO. Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin to make Carboxyhemoglobin. The wavelength of light associated with Carboxyhemoglobin is similar to oxyhemoglobin, so the pulse ox will read normal oxygen saturation even if there is significant carbon monoxide poisoning. This is well-documented, and in medical practice there are other ways to diagnose this, none of which are available on the plane. In short, there is no replacement for a CO detector in the airplane.

It can’t. The same amount of oxygen molecules can be found on the hemoglobin, which is all an oximeter reads. If CO poisoning occurs the O2 will not be released from the hemoglobin, giving you the hypoxia.

It shows METARs. Most airports outside class B don’t have a digital ATIS.

@@DozenDuzit can we use to find metars during flight (at high altitude), or just work on ground? thx

I am not sure. I know that would make the battery life drain rapidly. Like most smart watches, it turns on quickly when you move your wrist to look at it or hit a button. I thought it might annoy me, but the programming is pretty good and I hardly notice the screen isn’t on a lot of the time.

No subscription is required for all of the aviation features such as altimeter, metars, weather, ect. My team and I have been flying with them now for a few months and have been really impressed.

@@DozenDuzit awesome, thanks :)

Nope

Yes.

I believe all same but you get moving maps, and the ability to connect with Garmin in reach to send emergency signals. Mach 1 cannot take or make calls, no voice control. Basically the edge is the moving maps and emergency mode.

Thank you for this. I have had it pointed out after making this video, but not to the detail you did. Thank you for sharing. It will still help identify hypoxia from altitude but good to know not from CO.

What makes you say that. I’ve has Garmin watches longer than that and they have been fine.
