Garmin has introduced the Quatix 8 Pro, a new high-end smartwatch that expands its premium lineup with satellite and cellular connectivity, an AMOLED display and a range of marine-focused features, as the company refreshes its flagship wearable offerings.
The Quatix 8 Pro follows recent software updates for Garmin’s Fenix 8 and Fenix 8 Pro models and is available in 47 mm and 51 mm case sizes. While the watch is based on the Fenix 8 Pro platform, Garmin opted not to include microLED display technology, instead equipping both size variants with a 1.4-inch AMOLED screen offering a resolution of 454 by 454 pixels.

The smartwatch can be purchased with or without a Voice Control Bundle that enables compatibility with chartplotter hardware. According to the product description, Garmin has “given the Quatix 8 the Pro treatment” with added hardware and software features tailored to marine use.
Garmin said the Quatix 8 Pro supports satellite and cellular connectivity, offers up to 16 days of battery life and includes a built-in LED flashlight. Software features are geared toward boating and sailing, including a regatta timer, tack assist and support for Fusion audio systems through the Fusion-Link app.
The Quatix 8 Pro is priced from $1,299.99, rising to $1,359.98 when bundled with voice control functionality, and is already available to order through Garmin’s official sales channels.
