Maxcraft is happy to announce an addition to their Garmin watch collection.
The D2™ Air X15 and the D2 Mach 2, are Gamins latest aviator smartwatches with advanced aviation, health, fitness and other valuable smartwatch features. Including bright AMOLED touchscreen displays and built-in speakers and microphones, the newest D2 smartwatches add avionics connectivity, aviation-centric morning reports, voice commands and more. The D2 Air X15 will light the way with its new LED flashlight and PlaneSync™ compatibility, while the D2 Mach 2 matches the X15 capabilities and introduces additional features such as advanced aviation maps and alerts for weather
conditions exceeding personal minimums. Designed for the most demanding pilot lifestyles, the D2 Air X15 gets up to 10 days of battery life in smartwatch mode, while the D2 Mach 2 offers up to 26 days.
The D2 difference
• Avionics connectivity: When the Garmin Pilot app is connected to compatible avionics, the D2 Air X15 and D2 Mach 2 will display avionics flight data and navigation information. Both watches will also notify the user of crew alerting messages from compatible avionics right on the wrist.
• Aviation morning report: See the day’s weather outlook and field conditions at the user’s chosen airport and receive a customized health summary based on sleep and activity patterns.
• On-device voice commands: Use voice commands to easily set a timer, start an activity and more. Additionally, pilots can use this feature for aviation specific commands such as “Start Fly activity,” “Direct to,” and “Show me the METAR.”
• Voice notes: Make geo-referenced voice memos for later reference which can be viewed in a voice memo app on the watch and geo-tagged within a specific activity or the Garmin Connect™ app – allowing pilots to provide context during a flight or even set a reminder to look at something when back on the ground.
• Garmin Messenger™ app: Communicate via two-way text messaging on your wrist.
D2™ Mach 2 – 47 mm
With an updated design and graphical interface – plus a full suite of aviation
features – the D2 Mach 2 is the most refined lineup of D2 series smartwatches to date. Built for 24/7 wear, the D2 Mach 2 features a vibrant and sunlight-readable AMOLED display under a sapphire lens with a new sensor guard and leakproof buttons. The D2 Mach 2 features the most advanced aviation maps on any Garmin aviator watch to date and includes detailed topography, terrain shading, color-coded airspace boundaries, user
waypoints, intersections and VORs and more. Pilots can quickly swipe to Maps from the watch’s Fly activity page and zoom into runways to view positioning and orientation from their wrist. Aviators can track their current flight path using the live track log, or breadcrumb trail, which displays as a trailing line on the map, and they can even customize the aircraft icon to a piston, turboprop, jet or helicopter.
Additionally, pilots can set up personal minimums tolerances for weather conditions that matter most to their flying such as flight condition (MVFR, IFR, LIFR), max crosswind, max density altitude, max gust factor, max wind speed, minimum ceiling and minimum visibility. Configurable for nearest airport and multiple additional airports, the D2 Mach 2 monitors weather conditions against their own personal minimums and sends alerts when a threshold is crossed. The weather elements on the watch face will turn orange if the selected airport’s METAR is reporting weather conditions that exceed the user-configured personal minimums.
Designed for active lifestyle customers, the D2 Mach 2 adds support for recreational diving activities with its new leakproof buttons, 40m dive rating and single-gas scuba dive activity, plus a no-fly timer for after the dive.
D2™ Air X15
Designed for everyday wear, the D2 Air X15, is the perfect blend of premium smartwatch technology and modern aviation tools. The bright AMOLED touchscreen display is protected by extra-durable Gorilla Glass 3, with an intuitive watch face that can dynamically change colors to match current flight conditions based on the user’s selected airport’s METAR. A new built-in LED flashlight features multiple white light intensities and a red light to help pilots during nighttime flight operations. Pilots operating a PlaneSync-equipped aircraft can now access the aircraft dashboard to view status information3 including fuel, electrical, database and location information while away from the aircraft.
The 45mm watch case comes in a stainless steel or slate metal bezel with a black silicone band.

Today, Garmin announced its new distance measuring equipment (DME) products – the GDM 4500 and GDM 450R. These digital, state-of-the-art, remote-mount DME radios are designed to provide slant-distance information on select Garmin flight decks and displays. Both products can allow pilots to track two separate DME’s simultaneously. Compatible Garmin avionics can also automatically scan up to three additional DME frequencies
