New GPS Watch

[thinkxingu]

Update: I did not know that Garmin makes two options similar to the Epix but more specialized.

The Mach 1 is for aviators.

The Quatix 7, which some people here might be interested in, is the marine version. It has sailing/boating features built in and (I'm not sure if the Epix can do this) the option to install Garmin's Lakevu maps. That's a pretty cool backup!

Edited to add: though I didn't install the Lakevu maps, I played around a bit to see how it might look, and I think the watch is just too small to be legitimately useful.

Trails work because they're a singular line with only a certain radius to be concerned about. When looking at a larger area, however (other than just finding the location), the display seems too small.

For data, though—tides, weather, wind direction/speed, pacing, etc.—it might be useful.

I'd be interested to know if anyone uses a watch for this purpose.
