Why We Like The Garmin quatix 7
The Garmin quatix 7 Sapphire Edition features an upgraded, AMOLED display for better visual quality than the standard edition. The quatix 7 series is custom-made for marine use, but it's also stacked with features for terrestrials, too. We like the extensive list of features for captaining our boat, including autopilot control to run the boat away from the helm, Garmin Sailassist, Navionics data for coastal charts and freshwater maps, waypoint marking, comprehensive connectivity with select Garmin chartplotters and remote control of key multifunction displays, Fusion-Link controls of our onboard entertainment system, alerts and alarms for tide changes and dragging anchors, and data streaming of wind, water, and engine data.
We can also captain our own lives, on land and at sea, with a slew of performance metrics, including health and sleep monitoring, built-in sport profiles, workout apps, ABC sensors for elevation data, barometric readings, and a 3-axis electronic compass. When paired with a compatible device, the quatix 7 also features smart notifications, Garmin Pay contactless payments, music apps, safety tracking, and built-in incident detection for select outdoor activities.
