The humble watch is seen as somewhat old-fashioned compared to the digital life that nearly all consumers live these days, tech companies on the other hand, have been looking to integrate various digital features within so-called smart watches with the aim of marketing the product for the 21st century. Global GPS brand Garmin who are synonymous with Sat Navs have unveiled a new watch by the name of the Quatix 3.
Below is a quick rundown of the announced specifications (https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/on-the-water/coastal_fishing/handhelds_wearables/quatix-3/prod545411.html).
Physical dimensions – 2.0” x 2.0” x 0.6” (51.5 x 51.5 x 16.0 mm)
Display Size – 1.2” (30.4 mm) diameter
Display resolution – WxH – 218 x 218 pixels; transflective MIP colour; sapphire lens
Weight – 3.0 oz (85 g)
Battery life – Up to 50 hours in UltraTrac mode; up to 20 hours in GPS training mode; up to 6 weeks in watch mode
The watch also comes equipped with a “protective stainless steel EXO bezel and buttons”.
If you happen to be a fisherman or an avid race boat enthusiast, the Quatix 3 has you covered, below is a quick summary of these targeted features.
Saltwater fishermen – Will have features available to them that include navigational as well as NMEA 2000 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NMEA_2000) data including depth, speed, water temperature etc.
Sailors – Will have the option to receive data that includes a virtual starting line feature that lets you set up a starting line between 2 marked GPS waypoints, e.g., a buoy and the committee boat
The watch also contains an Altimeter, Barometer and Compass.
The watch is expected to be released within the first quarter of April 2016, prices are expected to be $599.99 (£420.54).
It will be interesting to see if this watch has a great appeal within the general consumer market when you consider many of the features are targeted at a specific audience. Garmin will hope this watch will be able to hold its own, it makes sense for Garmin to implement its knowledge within a new smartwatch.
