Garmin’s new quatix 6X Solar uses — you guessed it — solar power to charge! A transparent solar charging display for the marine GPS smartwatch means you can spend more time outside and less time charging.

The watch tracks performance when you’re out kayaking, swimming, canoeing, skiing, boating and more, and is water-resistant up to 100 meters. Connect it to your Garmin Chartplotter to sync data from SailAssist, race assist and other boat data. Plus, get calls, texts and other notifications right to the watch.

“We’re excited to introduce solar charging into the new quatix 6 series, giving users everything they’ve come to know and love from this sophisticated and connected marine smartwatch series, now with even longer battery life performance,” says Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “Because of its unique power-replenishing technology, the quatix 6X Solar gives mariners more on-wrist time to enjoy their favorite activities both on the water and on land.”

The quatix 6X Solar starts at $1,149.99. To learn more about the smartwatch, visit buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/725447.
