'Garmin' has unveiled the details surrounding its upcoming flagship tech wearable, the 'D2 Air X10.' This watch is an improved version of the brand's previous D2 Air, which was Garmin's first smartwatch built for aviators. The X10 boasts nearly every feature included in modern smartwatches while also providing the option to use these features without touching the screen.
The D2 Air X10 can monitor blood-oxygen levels, heartrate, steps, environment temperature, and perform most other health wearable tasks. In addition to this, the X10 features an improvement over the original D2 Air because it can now answer phone calls and be controlled via the user's voice. This means that one can have their hands full, whether working out, carrying equipment, running errands, or operating a vehicle, and still perform most tasks on the watch simply by talking to it. This includes convenient features such as answering phone calls and replying to texts.
