    The big question I have is whether the watch can be linked via Garmin’s WIFI to a boat’s primary Garmin MFDs and relay alarms originating there to the watch? For example, can a drag radius be set on the on the Boat’s MFDs anchor drag page, using its GPS, and have the watch give an audible alarm if the radius is breached?

    Hey Ben,

    Just wondering if there are any real differences between the Quatix and the Fenix? As far as I can see, the only differences are which apps are preloaded (all of which are cross compatible) and the dedicated MOB button. Is there anything else that’s exclusive to the Quatix? There’s a good couple of hundred dollars difference.

      Ray,

      I’m not sure, but I think that most of the marine specific features are omitted from the Fenix. That would include the gauge display capabilities, autopilot control, etc.

    Good Morning Ben,
    Can the watch control non Garmin MFDs?
