“Garmin Quatix 5 Series: Premium multisport marine smartwatch that provides comprehensive boat connectivity.”

Take control anywhere on board: Advanced autopilot control and remote waypoint marking features allow you to maintain control of your vessel, even if you are not the one at the helm. With the quatix 5 Sapphire, you can actually access a GHC™ 20 autopilot control unit to control the autopilot — change heading, turn and steer the boat. You also have remote waypoint marking, which allows you to add a waypoint from quatix 5 Sapphire and have it sync automatically with your connected chartplotter.

“The quatix 5 is expected to be available in June in two versions: the quatix 5 and the quatix 5 Sapphire. The quatix 5 Sapphire has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal lens and includes a stainless steel band as well as a blue silicone QuickFit band.”

Collect water sports data: Whether you’re paddle boarding, kayaking or canoeing, quatix 5 Sapphire will track your stroke and distance per stroke plus your total distance; it even provides lap tracking. Plus, if water skiing, you can check your boat speed with a glance at your quatix 5 sapphire watch.

Navigate across water and land: quatix 5 Sapphire watch is equipped with high-sensitivity GPS navigation and tracking functions plus ABC (altimeter, barometer and compass) sensor capabilities. The built-in altimeter provides elevation data to accurately monitor ascent and descent, while the barometer can be used to predict weather changes by showing short-term trends in air pressure. The 3-axis electronic compass keeps your bearing, whether you’re moving or not. In addition, there’s an internal gyroscope to help improve position accuracy (and battery life) in UltraTrac mode.

Specifically designed for the water, the quatix 5 gives mariners up-to-date tide data downloaded for the area they’re in through a smartphone, and will have access to that data for seven days. It’s also equipped with an anchor alarm to warn users of drift and an anchor rode calculator that tells the user the proper length of anchor line to put out. For fishing, a competition timer and fish catch log are available to help users keep track of the fish they’ve caught and the time remaining before getting back to weigh-in and for sail racing, the quatix 5 features tack assist, race countdown timer, distance to start line, and time to burn.
