TIME MACHINE

Some sailors want a watch that just tells the time. Others want something like Garmin’s Quatix 5, which is much more than a mere timepiece. If your boat is kitted out with Garmin gear, you can access information like depth speed, wind direction and a bunch of other info from the Quatix 5; you can even use it to control your autopilot, not to mention your sound system. Its integral barometer, compass and GPS make it even more versatile. It also tells the time. $599. Garmin, garmin.com
