In addition to the preloaded apps and navigation activities, the quatix 7 Pro watch offers two new apps.

  1. Trolling Motor Remote which gives anglers the ability to control their Force trolling motor from anywhere on the boat, providing quick and easy control from the wrist.
  2. Fish Forecast which tracks solar and lunar movements throughout the day to indicate times when fish will potentially be most active and find the best times for fishing expeditions.

These enrich life on the water for sailors, boaters and fishermen. You can also remotely access compatible Garmin Fusion® chartplotters, autopilots, audio systems and more, right on your wrist. Navigate with ease with advanced navigation sensors, multi-band GPS and SatIQ™ technology.

This new version of the quatix offers superior positioning accuracy in harsh environments while optimizing battery life. The watch also supports optional charting, including detail-rich BlueChart® g3 coastal charts and LakeVü g3 inland charts as well as weather chart overlays, so sailors can navigate with confidence during their voyage on a boat.

In addition to preloaded apps and water activities, such as sailing races, wakesurfing, water skiing and many others, it also comes with connected features such as smart notifications, music storage for phone-free listening , Garmin Pay™ contactless payment and much more.

Rugged enough to withstand the rigors of the marine environment, yet sophisticated enough to wear out to dinner with friends, the quatix 7 Pro allows users to take advantage of traditional smartwatch control buttons in harsh marine environments or Use the touchscreen interface for quick access to all watch functions. Finally, good news: the color screen is easy to read even in direct sunlight!
