The most connected D2 series smartwatch yet, pairs the latest in aviation tools with satellite and cellular connectivity


Garmin announced D2™ Mach 2 Pro, the ultimate aviator smartwatch equipped with inReach® technology for two-way satellite and cellular connectivity1 between flights – giving aviators access to text messaging, voice calling, SOS capabilities and more without a cell phone connection. Boasting a sunlight readable 1.4” AMOLED touchscreen display, D2 Mach 2 Pro includes a suite of aviation tools including advanced aviation maps, pilot health monitoring features, aviation weather reports, PlaneSync™ compatibility and more. Available in a 51mm case, D2 Mach 2 Pro includes a Carbon Gray diamond-like carbon titanium bezel, Chestnut Leather and Silicone QuickFit® watch bands, built-in speaker and microphone and superior battery life.

“From the hangar to the great outdoors, D2 Mach 2 Pro helps aviators stay connected, even without their smartphone. Satellite and LTE connectivity allows aviators to keep in touch with family or get help if needed, adding extra peace of mind right on their wrist. Every pilot on the planet should have this new smartwatch.” –Carl Wolf, Garmin Vice President of Aviation Sales, Marketing, Programs & Support

Stay connected without a phone

Designed for those moments where a phone is out of reach, D2 Mach 2 Pro has built-in inReach technology for satellite and cellular connectivity. LTE connectivity provides phone-free access to features like voice calls and messaging, LiveTrack™ location sharing, text messaging and more. With a satellite connection, users can send messages and location check-ins as well as keep an eye on latest weather forecast. In the event of an emergency, SOS capabilities can be triggered right from the wrist to get help from the Garmin Response℠ coordination center, where skilled emergency response coordinators are ready at any time.


Loaded with aviation and smartwatch tools

D2 Mach 2 Pro is designed for life both in and out of the cockpit, boasting on-device navigation, advanced aviation maps, avionics connectivity2, on-device voice commands and more. The built-in LED flashlight features variable intensities of white light and a red light, plus the Red Shift Mode changes the entire watch interface to shades of red to help preserve night vision for pilots during nighttime flight operations. With 24/7 health monitoring and in-flight biometrics tracking, as well as
more than 100 activities, D2 Mach 2 Pro enables pilots to stay on top of their well-being. Created for the most demanding pilot lifestyles, D2 Mach 2 Pro gets up to 24 days of battery life in smartwatch mode.

D2 Mach 2 Pro will debut in the Garmin exhibit at the SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo, held April 14-19 in Lakeland, Fla. The smartwatch is available now to purchase on Garmin.com and has a suggested retail prices of $1,549.99. To learn more, visit Garmin.com/D2.

A leading provider of solutions to general aviation, business aviation, rotorcraft, advanced air mobility, government and defense, and commercial air carrier customers, Garmin believes every day is an opportunity to innovate.
