Garmin Quatix is designed for the passionate sailor of all types of vessels, from paddlers to kayakers, to sailors and power boaters, the Quatix offers unparalleled performance and attendance in a sturdy wristwatch.

Specialized Sailing Features
Quatix contains advanced tools and information for yachtsmen providing them with competitive advantages during competition or during training. Garmin Quatix can easily create a virtual line between two reference points, such as the edges of the starting line of a competition and then indicates the distance to that virtual line and the countdown time "to burn" as to enable the boat to cross exactly at the starting signal .

And once the race started, the Quatix watch switches to the Tack assistance function indicating the optimal angle for tacking the windward or leeward beacons and the ideal cornering direction.
