The Garmin quatix 8 51 mm AMOLED pairs marine connections with battery life of up to 29 days in smartwatch mode, or up to 13 days with the display always on. Its 51 mm case carries a sapphire crystal lens, titanium bezel and 26 mm silicone band. A 1.4-inch AMOLED screen brings navigation, boat data and activity information to your wrist.
For sailing trips and time ashore
-
Record a longer sailing trip: the Sail Expedition activity is designed to record multiday sailing with a reduced need to charge. Battery life depends on the operating mode; the smartwatch figures above do not describe continuous GPS recording.
-
View information from the helm: connect with a compatible chartplotter to see supported boat data such as water depth, engine RPM and wind information, or mark a chartplotter waypoint from the watch.
-
Access compatible onboard controls: use Bluetooth voice commands with a supported chartplotter. The autopilot app connects through a compatible chartplotter or GHC 50 autopilot instrument, while selected compatible Force trolling motors and Fusion stereos also support watch control.
-
Prepare for the start line: sailing tools include tack assist, race start guidance and a regatta timer. Anchor-drag and tide-change alerts provide additional information on the water.
-
Take navigation ashore: preloaded TopoActive maps, multi-band GPS with SatIQ, an altimeter, barometer and three-axis compass support outdoor use.
-
Use everyday watch features: the integrated LED flashlight offers variable brightness. The built-in speaker and microphone support phone calls when the watch is paired with a smartphone.

Check your connected equipment
Helm, autopilot, trolling-motor and audio controls depend on the exact compatible equipment installed on the boat. Fusion audio control uses the built-in Fusion-Link app. Confirm compatibility before planning your installation.
BlueChart g3 coastal charts are supported but sold separately; they are not part of the preloaded TopoActive mapping. Outdoor Maps+ premium content requires its own subscription.
Smart notifications support paired iPhone and Android smartphones. Garmin Messenger texting requires both sender and recipient to have the app on their paired smartphones. For setup, charging, operation and care, follow the supplied documentation.
