My favorite watch

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.

Capable, attractive smart watch/fitness tracker

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.

Worst racing watch I've ever used

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.

disapointed

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”
