Innovative features within D2 Bravo go further to
provide imperative alerts and beneficial weather
information. When paired with a compatible smartphone,
aviation routine weather reports (METARs) are displayed
on the face of D2 Bravo in plain language and are
color-coded to indicate visual or instrument
meteorological conditions (IMC), giving pilots
convenient access to the most up-to-date weather
information at a glance.
Valuable in pressurized cabins as a back-up cabin
pressure monitor and within unpressurized aircraft as a
helpful reminder to use oxygen, D2 Bravo uses the
built-in altimeter to provide preset altitude alerts,
which remind pilots when to use supplemental oxygen at
critical altitudes where oxygen may be required. D2
Bravo provides vibrating alerts in 30-minute intervals
to notify the pilot when cabin pressure is at or above
12,500 feet.
Designed with pilots in mind, a premium brown leather
band gives D2 Bravo a bold stylish look suitable for an
active lifestyle both inside and outside of the cockpit.
D2 Bravo incorporates exclusive direct-to and nearest
functions, complete with a worldwide airport database
and support for up to 18 languages to meet the needs of
pilots around the globe. Pilots can quickly navigate
direct-to airports and create Mark on Target waypoints
for easy navigation to customized locations. Similar to
Garmin portables, customizable data fields display GPS
ground speed, GPS track, distance, altitude, estimated
time enroute, bearing, glide ratio and more.
Pilots can navigate with confidence using D2 Bravo,
which offers a built-in GPS, highly accurate altimeter
with an adjustable barometric setting, compass with an
HSI and moving map display. Simultaneous display of date
and Zulu/UTC time provides pilots with an at a glance
view of important information on the analog face of D2
Bravo.
Information such as speed, altitude and time enroute are
recorded and stored for each flight, so pilots can
easily reference recent flight information all within
the watch. D2 Bravo also provides altitude alerting to
notify pilots when they reach or leave a preselected
altitude, helping to ensure the desired altitude is
maintained in-flight. Additionally, D2 Bravo features
the option to set up vibrating alerts as a reminder to
perform time-sensitive operations such as switching fuel
tanks while in-flight.
D2
Bravo enriches every flying experience by integrating
with select Garmin products while in-flight or on the
ground. D2 Bravo can remotely control VIRB® Elite and
VIRB X so customers can start and stop video, view
elapsed time for active video recording and capture high
quality still photos – even when video recording is
active.
In
addition to in-flight functionality, D2 Bravo is packed
with versatile training and fitness features to provide
daily activity tracking information, biking, swimming,
skiing data and more. In the pool or open water, D2
Bravo is rated to 100 meters and can track distance,
pace, stroke count and more. When paired with HRM-Run™,
D2 Bravo reports advanced running dynamics, which
includes cadence, vertical oscillation and ground
contact time to improve running economy. For everyday
wear, activity tracking provides a customized step goal
each morning, while calculating steps, calories and
distance throughout the day. For rigorous activities a
black water-resistant band is included.
Smartphone connectivity is available with D2 Bravo,
allowing customers to receive email, text, weather
and additional notifications, such as alerts from
Garmin Pilot™. This full-featured aviation
application available for iOS and Android operating
systems, provides pilots with a comprehensive
worldwide navigation database. D2 Bravo also
supports hundreds of additional applications
available through Garmin Connect. D2 Bravo is
expected to be available in July and has a suggested
retail price of $699.
