I bought this watch a month ago and am pleased with the purchase. Great battery life and works excellent outside. Definitely worth the price. Do wish the display was Amoled.

Love this watch. I stay on or near the water. I live by the tides. All I need at the push of a button. GPS, weather, fishing report. It's my info center. Stylish and very practical. A must have for boaters and fishermen.

We utilize the Quatix to pair with the Garmin auto pilot and its great! Besides the fact I can accurately track my sleep/Heart etc. We can't wait to add the Mk3 Decent for our diving soon!

Overall love the watch. Bought it for the marine features and they don't disappoint. I wish the watch face colors were a bit more vibrant. Also getting a lot of security and virus warnings that are independent of my phone and email. What's up with that?

I have been using this watch for the past 20 days. I love the long lasting battery which bring a better product in comparison to an APPLE WATCH that only lasted about a day. I just figured out how to play music on it and it save me the trouble of carrying my phone on my hand or pocket while running. But for me the best is the water usage. I love fishing and I intend to do an iron man some day and this watch has gave me a great feedback with water sports.

I bought this watch so I would have all the data metrics for triathlon, swim, bike run, heart rate, power, cadence, etc. etc. etc. The bonus for me was we plan to take off wandering on our sailboat next year and the marine applications built in are useful. However, didn't realize that it can have snapshots of different data in an instant, barometer, tides, weather, storm alert, and like many watches these days, can be an extension of your smart phone. It will also control my Fusion marine audio and autopilot. I've only scratched the surface of the many features this watch has, and it's going to be fun learning it all over the coming months.

I bought this as a replacement for my 2013 Garmin whose battery died and you don't support it any more. During my first use of the Quatix 7 in a sail race this weekend I had several issues. 1. In the Sail app I could start the elapsed sail time/distance screen. But while it was running, I could not bring up the navigation menu so I could navigate to waypoints I had programmed in. My old Garmin kept the elapsed distance running even when I was navigating to a waypoint(mark). 2. When I stopped the elapsed time/distance, I "saved" it. Then I couldn't "find" where it was saved. Today I found it under "last activity" several menu items below today's tides, ABC, barometer etc . Not a very convenient place, and I can't find any reference how to do this in the user manual. 3. After shutting down the elapsed sail timer, I brought up the navigation menu and was able to go to the "stored locations" I had pre-entered. Some comments on this are below. a. My old Garmin gave bearing, distance to the selected location(mark) and also calculated how long it would take to get there based on current SOG. The Quarix 7 gave distance and bearing but no time to get there. b. Others on board for this sail had other GPS units but their "distance to mark" were always about 10% less that the Quatix 7. I believe the Quatix 7 was navigating using statue miles instead of nautical miles. Afterwards, I saw in the settings>format>units the only options are miles or kilometers . How do I get it to navigate in nautical miles and knots? c. I found that if I press and hold the up-menu button from the Sail screen It went to Sail settings>units. Distance was set in nautical miles and Pace/Speed was set to knots . Again, I could not find any of this in the user manual. I just kept hitting different buttons and found it. IF the units were correct there, why are the navigation to saved locations using statute miles? d. I can see how the exercise and running apps might want to use statute miles or kilometers, and mph /kph, but marine apps need to use nautical miles/knots. This is, after all, a Garmin Quatix 7 "ultimate marine smartwatch"

I am a professional sailor. Simple use on this watch is impossible, the buttons are arbitrarily moving me all over the menu, I don't have time when I'm racing to reset to anything. It won't even stay locked on time of day. Waste of good money.

Terrific watch and fitness tracker I'm still learning all the features on. Replaced an old citizen watch I've worn for years. First smartwatch I care for as I'm horrible about recharging and this one only needs charged like twice a month.

This is my favorite smart watch. I make my living on the water. This watch has tons of features that I use on a daily basis. It's also very comfortable and I like its style and design. The only feature I wish I had more control over is watch face design. Still, 5 stars.

I bought this watch about a month ago and I am glad I did. It does have a bit of a learning curve, but that is because it can do so much. I am still learning about new features it has. I do wish that I did not have to buy the maps, which are quite expensive, separately. To be fair though, if you have already purchased them for your other Garmin products, it is my understanding they will travel. I would recommend the watch highly. I am looking forward to being able to use the marine components, like tide, when I get to the coast.

Not allowed to do the birds eye view any longer on this unit. One of the features I purchased it for.

Cute exterior but you can't see the watch face, and you can't charge the battery which doesn't last long. Then you have to toss the whole thing.

Got this for my 8 year old bc he's obsessed with being outside and moving. He's always wanting to know how many steps he took. He loves using it. We use the timers all the time to help him learn some time management and we love the chore feature for him to keep up on his things around the house and to earn some extra rewards. We do wish it had a touchscreen and was a little easier to navigate. One button for everything is tough for a little to get used too. Also wish it had better back lighting. It's tough to see when it's day light and to get the back light to activate. Also wish it would auto sync to his device instead of him having to go into the app and click the Bluetooth button on his watch. Otherwise he's very happy with being able to track his steps and activities!

It's a fenix with extra features and a great watch. My BIG criticism is charts, NO WHERE does Garmin tell you that you can't fit charts on any model but the 51mm X sized model. If I had known that I would not have bought my quatix 7, I would have stayed with my fenix. Pretty disappointed!

Upgraded to the 7 from the 5 and am happy i did. Battery life is much better and there are more apps and health/training monitoring functions. I wish there was a capability to analyze speed and angle over the track of a race the way the biking app shows different speeds on the track. Getting out of the header/lift mode is also not very intuitive. Finally the connection to weather data mostly does not work.

Overall I've been very pleased with the quatix 7. It's extremely easy to use and has all the features I was looking for in a watch plus a lot more.

My 7 year old loves his watch. It helps with learning big numbers when he tells me his step count and he loves competing steps with me.

Only complaint is that the heart rate monitor tracks half of the time. Tried tightening and loosening watch on the wrist, cleaning the sensor to no avail. Overall great watch for being on the water as i am most often and primary reason i made the purchase.

I bought the watch with several reasons in mind. First for fitness the watch gives a complete health bio. and Im a boater and just getting to learn all the many options that the quatix 7 can support.

The positives are the marine features really are tailored to boaters and easily accessed. The smartphone integration could be better to support like Pandora and Maps

I received this watch as a Father's Day gift and it has exceeded my expectations in every possible way. The battery life is amazing in addition to all of the features. I was a little afraid I wouldn't adjust to the large size but it's so comfortable I don't even feel it on my wrist. I find myself using it in every aspect of my life!!! The metrics are accurate and provide a great source of inspiration and motivation. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND IT!!!

I bought the watch a few weeks ago not ever having a Garmin watch. So far I like it. there There is learning curve for someone who is new to Garmin watch, but overall I am liking it. I have not tried to sync it to my Garmin Chart Plotter yet, but have marked a few fishing spots on it and use the map function. I would say its a back-up to your other electronics on your boat if your going offshore as a last resort to your compass.
