Posted Jun 25, 2025 at 4:39 PM UTC Garmin's new boat-focused smartwatch supports chartplotter voice commands.
The upgraded Quatix 8 starts at $1,199.99 for the 47mm model, offering an AMOLED display with a scratch-resistant sapphire lens, titanium bezel, and up to 16 days of battery life (or up to 29 days on the $1,299.99 51mm option).
Unlike its less expensive predecessor, the Quatix 8 has a built-in speaker and mic that lets you use voice commands to control Garmin chartplotter functions, take calls, and respond to texts. It can also serve as a remote for compatible Garmin trolling motors.
