Overview

The Garmin 010-02582-60 is the quatix 7 Sapphire Edition marine GPS smartwatch with a 47 mm case, a 1.3 inch always-on AMOLED display (416 x 416 pixels), and a 10 ATM water rating (100 m). It runs on a rechargeable, built-in lithium-ion battery rated up to 16 days in smartwatch mode with gesture wake or up to 6 days with the display always on, and GPS-only mode is rated up to 42 hours (up to 30 hours always on).

On board, it pairs with compatible Garmin chartplotters for MFD Remote control from your wrist, Boat Data streaming screens, and the ability to mark a waypoint on the plotter without leaving what you are doing. It also supports autopilot control when paired to a compatible Garmin autopilot helm control, and it includes a Fusion-Link app for controlling a compatible Fusion stereo.

This watch makes sense for skippers and crew who move around the boat and still want quick access to key helm functions, plus sailors who use tools like tack assist, sail racing timing, tides, and anchor tracking.

Key features

• 10 ATM water rating (100 m) for swimming and everyday exposure on deck.
• Sapphire crystal lens with a titanium bezel and a fiber-reinforced polymer case with a titanium rear cover.
• Battery ratings: up to 16 days smartwatch (gesture wake) or up to 6 days (always-on), up to 21 days in battery saver watch mode, and up to 42 hours GPS-only (up to 30 hours always-on).
• MFD Remote control for compatible Garmin chartplotters, including menu navigation from the watch.
• Boat Data streaming from a compatible chartplotter with up to 3 data fields per page and up to 6 pages, plus plotter waypoint marking from the watch.
• Autopilot control when paired with a compatible Garmin autopilot helm control, including heading changes and standby.
• Fusion-Link app control for a compatible Fusion stereo, with initial pairing performed within about 3 m (10 ft).

Marine connectivity and setup

Pairing is handled through the marine apps on the watch. For first-time setup, bring the watch close to the marine device (about 3 m or 10 ft) and place the chartplotter, autopilot helm control, or stereo into pairing or discoverable mode as appropriate. Once paired, connections re-establish automatically when the devices are on, in range, and the relevant app is open on the watch.

If you are planning to use helm control features, confirm the exact Garmin equipment on your boat is compatible with the quatix marine apps you intend to use. The watch can still be used as a standalone GPS smartwatch even when you are away from the boat.

Sailing and on-water tools

The watch includes sailing-focused features such as tack assist, which uses GPS-based course over ground to help indicate lift and header while cruising or racing upwind. For sail racing, it supports a regatta timer workflow with start line setup using GPS so you can time the approach to the line more precisely.

Tide information and alerts are built in for quick checks before a shallow entrance or a long day at anchor. The anchor app can be used to mark your anchor location for situational awareness when you are off the bow or back in the cockpit.

Battery, charging, and daily wear on a boat

If you keep the display always on, plan around the shorter rating compared to gesture wake. Battery saver watch mode can stretch time between charges when you are cruising and do not need constant connectivity.

For best results, charge within 0 to 45 C, and keep the watch within its operating and storage range of -20 to 45 C. After salt spray, a quick rinse with fresh water and a dry-down helps keep the case and band clean for everyday wear.
