Gift Tip 3<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Quatix 6 by Garmin<\/h2>\n

Smartwatch with marine function<\/em><\/p>\n

GPS, music player, fitness functions and what else? With dedicated marine functions, the quatix\u00ae 6 multisport smartwatch<\/a> connects to compatible Garmin chartplotters and other devices. Thus, water depth, engine speed, wind and custom data are displayed directly on the smartwatch when it is connected to the compatible devices on board. In addition, coastal charts are displayed with integrated Navionics\u00ae data.<\/p>\n

Of course, the multi-function wrist wonder also shows emails, text messages and alarms directly on the display when paired with a compatible Apple or Android smartphone. The smartwatch is available with two different case sizes in 47 or 51 millimeters in diameter. You can also choose between Gorilla and Spahir glass. Gorilla glass is extremely break- and scratch-resistant, while sapphire glass is even higher-quality and also suitable for water sports enthusiasts who put their watch through a lot of maneuvers and the odd blow against the winch. Those who choose the model with the large case diameter can also select a glass that is equipped with solar panels, so that the watch can be charged without power.<\/p>\n

699.00 euros recommended retail price<\/strong><\/p>\n
