Thoughts on Using the Garmin D2 Delta PX Titanium Aviator Watch
I have been using the D2 Delta PX for over half a year now, so I think it’s time to summarize my thoughts on it.
First of all, the design of the outer bezel has improved significantly compared to the D2 Charlie. The color of the outer ring matches the Watch Face, giving it a more harmonious overall feel. Additionally, the outer ring has a slight slope, which improves the issue of frequently bumping into things when wearing the D2 Charlie.

Garmin D2 Charlie Titanium Aviation Watch Review Part 2
Unboxing the Garmin D2 Delta PX Titanium Aviator Watch
Garmin D2 Delta PX Titanium Aviator Watch Setup GuideContinuing my thoughts on using the year’s most powerful smartwatch, the Garmin D2 Charlie, this time I’m summarizing from the perspective of a general smartphone user.
Regarding settings, one customizable default is the backlight. For example, the feature that automatically activates the backlight when you raise your hand is extremely convenient. However, the menu is quite deep, located at “Settings-System-Backlight-During Activity-Raise Hand-On” and “Settings-System-Backlight-Not During Activity-Raise Hand-On”. Additionally, the backlight timeout and brightness can be customized; personally, I found the defaults a bit low, so I increased both the time and brightness.

Garmin D2 Charlie Titanium Aviation Watch Review: Part 1
Garmin D2 Delta PX Titanium Aviator Watch Unboxing
Garmin D2 Delta PX Titanium Aviator Watch Setup GuideAfter using the Garmin D2 Charlie for nearly a week, I can summarize my thoughts on the experience.
First of all, it is an excellent smart watch. For instance, the color screen has high resolution and is easy to read even in sunlight. Additionally, it is very power-efficient. A simple test over the last few days showed that after two days of use, there was still 20% battery remaining. Therefore, you don’t need to constantly worry about running out of power and can boldly use its various functions. Furthermore, if you don’t use the navigation and sports features and just use it to tell the time, it can easily last a week.
