Garmin Quatix 5 Sapphire

 

The next generation of GPS water sports Smart Watch builds on the platform of the popular fēnix 5 and offers extensive water sports functions for sailing, fishing, rowing, SUP and surfing as well as extensive streaming of ship data. The quatix 5 can be connected to compatible Garmin instruments, chartplotters and other devices via the NMEA2000 network to transfer data on speed, water depth, temperature, wind data and more to the watch. The compact and chic design is rounded off by the Quickfit interchangeable wristbands. Extended sports functions and heart rate measurement on the wrist are also included. With additional integrated activity profiles and performance values for rowing, kayaking, canoeing, SUP and more, the quatix 5 has something for every water sport.

 

With advanced remote autopilot control and waypoint marking, you always have control of the boat - even when you're not at the helm. With the quatix 5, you can access a GHC 20 autopilot controller to operate the autopilot and change course, turn around, and steer the boat. Remote waypoint marking allows you to add a waypoint via the quatix 5 and automatically synchronize the data with the connected chartplotter.

 

In sailing regattas you should not only wait for the start, but also see it in front of your eyes. The quatix 5 displays a virtual start line in the form of 2 waypoints. Use the Distance to Start Line feature to see how far away you are from the line based on the virtual start line. The regatta countdown counts down the time until the start of the race, and if there is a virtual start line, you will see the remaining time. The turning assistant determines whether the boat is falling off or coming on and then calibrates the turning angle over port and starboard at the touch of a button.

 

Whether rowing, SUP, kayaking or canoeing - the quatix 5 records the number of strokes, the distance per stroke and the total distance and also stores the laps. When water skiing, you can also check the boat speed with a glance at the quatix 5 o'clock.

 

The quatix 5 watch is equipped with highly sensitive GPS navigation and tracking functions as well as an altimeter, barometer and compass. The barometer can predict trends and weather changes by displaying short-term air pressure. The feature is supplemented by a storm alarm. The electronic 3-axis compass does not lose the bearing - neither in motion nor when stationary. In UltraTrac mode, the internal gyroscope also improves position accuracy (and battery life).

 

Whether on the water or on land, the quatix 5 can store your activities. Elevate wrist heart rate measurement lets you see your heart rate around the clock without wearing a heart rate chest strap. Advanced training features include training statistics and activity profiles for multiple sports and activities, including running, cycling, swimming, hiking, and golf.

 

With Smart Notifications via quatix 5, you can receive e-mails, SMS messages and alarms directly on your watch - no matter where you are: on the water, in the field, on the golf course or simply during your lunch break. Other online features include automatic uploads to their online fitness community, Garmin Connect, LiveTrack, and social media sharing through their free Garmin Connect and Garmin Connect Mobile applications.
