Garmin has introduced a new aviator watch that has the potential to become the latest and greatest item for gadget hungry aviators. The D2 Bravo is a multifunction watch that blends the company’s expertise in aviation, sports and GPS services in a small but stylish package.

Building upon the company’s D2 watch, which Garmin introduced in October 2013, the D2 Bravo adds a slew of functions and improved operation. It has a new omni-directional stainless steel EXO antenna, which allows the watch to be slimmer than its predecessor while providing faster and more accurate GPS positioning. The high-resolution color LED screen is sunlight readable and the battery lasts up to six weeks in watch mode or 20 hours in GPS mode.
