I have tried to set this up and it’s a constant struggle. I have called Garmin and while the person on the phone couldn’t help me when they transferred me I got disconnected. There has to be an easier way to help us set this watch up to our liking.
This is my fourth Garmin Fenix watch and I have really enjoyed all of them. I love the new Amoled screen on my new quatix 8 but do wish the battery life was just a little bit better after comparing it to my Garmin Fenix 7X solar.
I have used Garmin products for more than 25 years and Have used the activity/watches since they started producing them. I moved form a Fenix6XPro to this Quatix8, the transition and data movement was very smooth, learning curve minimal. I especially like the enhanced health features. Occasionally it will lose connection with the smart phone, but it finds it way back. I like the Amoled display. I have not had a chance to try out more of the features, but I look forward to seeing how they perform.
The watch is the most complete watch I have owned as a mariner. The boat app, tides, wind and ireach all met my expectations. Would like to see better marine weather especially winds intigrated in the phone. Currently tide stations are limited as to the number you can save would like to see more availabilty to add stations.
