Garmin announced the 'Quatix 7' series of high-end smartwatches targeted at marine workers and hobbyists. Whether a boater, a fisherman, or a hobbyist, the Quatix 7 watches boast a variety of helpful features related to water. Firstly, the watches feature an ultra-clear AMOLED display. Secondly, the watches are capable of synchronizing to several types of marine equipment.
The Quatix 7 can connect to entertainment systems, auto pilot systems, anchor alarms, tide alerts, maps, and various other mechanisms. On top of this, the watch functions as a health monitor as well.
