With a battery life of up to 37 days (thanks to solar charging) and a huge range of general and marine-focused features, this Garmin Quatix 7X SOLAR GPS Smartwatch has everything you need, whether on dry land or water. This titanium edition also includes a citrus blue band that is pictured in the product images - all Quantix 6 bands can be interchanged with ease.
A smartwatch is one of those purchases you may be unsure about at first, but as time goes by, becomes something you feel you cannot live without. A lot of our crew members own smartwatches, with many saying it almost feels like having a personal assistant on your wrist!
Let's start by taking a look at the marine-focused features:

Garmin Quatix 7 Titanium supports premier charts featuring integrated Navionics data.
Comprehensive Connectivity:
Stream data to your wrist when connecting compatible Garmin chartplotters, the GNT10 transceiver and other devices. Viewable information includes water depth, engine RPM, wind and custom data.
Fusion-Link Audio:

Garmin SailAssist:
Don't just time your start, visualize it. Quatix 7 enables you to create a virtual starting line to time the perfect start. You can also use tack assist to see whether you are headed or lifted.
Waypoint Marking:
There's no need to return to the helm to mark each catch as you can use Quatix 7 Titanium to place chartplotter waypoints, wherever you are on the boat.
