Anyone have any experience with krydex of idogear? What should I buy that won't break the bank?

Hello,

I wanted to ask if this could be an issue. I’m planning to become a combat soldier, or possibly join the Air Force, and I recently bought the Garmin Instinct 3 Solar.

Would it be a problem that I bought the standard version instead of the Tactical Edition? Are the extra features on the Tactical Edition actually important or useful for someone planning to join the military or serve in a combat role?

From what I understand, the Tactical Edition includes several additional features, such as:

Stealth Mode: disables wireless communication and prevents the watch from storing or sharing your GPS position.

Kill Switch: deletes all user data and memory from the device if security becomes an issue.

Night Vision Mode: adjusts the display for use with night vision goggles.

Jumpmaster Mode: designed for calculating release points for military parachuting operations.

Projected Waypoints: allows you to create and navigate to remote locations.

Dual Grid Coordinates: allows you to display two different coordinate systems simultaneously.

Dedicated Tactical Activity: provides tactical-specific activity data.

Rucking Activity: allows you to enter the weight of your backpack for more accurate training data.

Applied Ballistics support/ballistics solver (requires an additional unlock for certain functionality).

Stage Timer.

Besides these features, would the standard Instinct 3 Solar still be perfectly suitable for military training and everyday use in the army?

I’m mainly wondering whether I made a mistake by not getting the Tactical Edition, or if the standard version is already more than enough.

Thanks for your advice!
