NIGHT VISION CAPABILITY
Easily switch between daytime view and nighttime view with a screen that can be read by night vision goggles.
JUMPMASTER MODE
This feature works to calculate high-altitude release points according to military guidelines and helps to navigate you to your objective once you’ve jumped.
DUAL-POSITION FORMAT
Easily sync your location with others by seeing both the universal transverse mercator (UTM) and military grid reference system (MGRS) on the same screen.
STEALTH MODE
Enable stealth mode to stop storing and sharing your GPS position and disable wireless connectivity and communication.
KILL SWITCH
If security becomes an issue, the kill switch wipes the device of all user memory.
PROJECTED WAYPOINTS
Set and save remote geo positions to be used later for navigation.

Enhanced optical heart rate technology gauges the intensity of your fitness activities as well as heart rate variability to calculate your stress level score. It also tracks underwater without a heart rate strap.
PULSE OX SENSOR
For altitude acclimation or sleep monitoring, a Pulse Ox2 sensor uses light beams at your wrist to gauge how well your body is absorbing oxygen.
RESPIRATION TRACKING
See how you’re breathing throughout the day, during sleep and during breathwork and yoga activities.
BODY BATTERY ENERGY MONITOR
Optimize your body’s energy reserves, using heart rate variability, stress, sleep and other data to gauge when you’re ready to be active or when you may need to rest.
