The watch connects immediately to the interface via the installable GNT-10 app but quite some of the data is displayed not at all or wrongly. So, I had to buy the Garmin GNT10 wireless interface to connect to the watch via the so-called ANT-protocol. I do not have a Garmin chart plotter that connects with the watch natively but a B&G setup. The main reason for buying the watch in the first place: Displaying sensor (which I HOPEFULLY use seldomly use but I find this very nice) Start-line (which I seldomly use but works okay) Guess principally they should work on the Fenix 5 as well).

The Quatix 7 is available in 3 versions from 699 euros.Since beginning of this year, I own a Garmin Fitness watch. Even if the resolution is good, we tested a Quatix 7 Sapphire with its Amoled screen, we must admit that the small size does not really facilitate navigation and this function appeared to us more like a gadget than a real navigation tool.
