The Garmin D2 Air X10 takes the best features of the Venu 2 Plus, and adds a whole suite of aviation tools.
Garmin has unveiled its latest watch, the Garmin D2 Air X10, which is designed specifically with pilots in mind, but is also a fully featured sports watch for use outside the cockpit. Garmin is one of the biggest names in aviation equipment, building radios, navigation and autopilot systems, and the D2 Air X10 is the latest in a long line of wearables built for commercial and recreational pilots. When you’re in the air, the D2 Air X10 allows you to plot a course straight to an airport or waypoint using a database of locations preloaded to the watch. Alternatively, you can choose to activate a direct course to the nearest airport, with a horizontal situation indicator (HSI) course needle that shows whether you’re left or right of the desired flight path. The watch also starts tracking flights automatically on takeoff, and transfers stats including date, duration, total flight time, and route to your logbook on flyGarmin. It’s also possible to transfer flight plans to the watch from the Garmin Pilot app.
