Garmin Quatix™
Since they arrived on the scene, I have always preferred a digital readout over an analog readout on a watch face. Just when I was starting to get worried that the digital readout might be a thing of the past, here comes Garmin taking digital to the next level. According to Garmin, as of this date, "the Garmin Quatix™ has not been authorized as required by the Federal Communications Commission." As soon as the FCC gives the green light, it will be available. With a MSRP of $449.99, it's certainly not cheap, but compared to a Rolex, it's not only affordable, but it does a whole lot more neat stuff. As one pundit pointed out, "if you fall overboard the lost wireless connection will set off an MOB [man overboard] alarm on a Garmin MFD [multi-function display] and the AP [auto-pilot] will try to steer back to you. And aside from all the connectivity — the Quatix can apparently interface with Garmin PC, Mac, and iPad apps too."
The Quatix™ has several other neat features. Check 'em out.
