Quatix 7 Vs. Fenix 7: Which Garmin Smartwatch Is Best?

screenrant.com:

Garmin recently unveiled the Quatix 7 series of smartwatches aimed at boaters and seafarers, but how does it compare to the company's Fenix 7 smartwatch range? Garmin is one of the leading smartwatch manufacturers in the world, alongside Apple and Samsung. However, while the last two offer mainstream products for regular consumers, Garmin's smartwatches are typically laser-focused devices aimed at professionals and fitness enthusiasts.

Garmin has been on a launching spree in 2022, having already announced a slew of smartwatches and fitness bands in the first few months of the year. The list includes the Vivomove Sport, Venu 2 Plus, Epix Gen 2, and of course, the Fenix 7 series that was announced in January. Most of these are premium smartwatches, barring the affordable Vivomove Sport.

These are further classified into Standard, Solar, and the premium Sapphire Solar versions. The Solar models come with a Garmin MIP display with a solar charging ring around the screen.
