Owners Club

Let us share some enthusiasm about this gorgeous watch coming our way.

Here is my story; being an old Omega Seamaster owner, I was actually looking for something alike in quality. I looked at Omega, TAG Heuer and alike. However allthough all these watches are very nice, each and every time I came to the conclusion that I can't live without 24/7 HR and smart notifications. I am a passionate athlete; so I much like to keep track on my resting HR. And that's actually it - none of the premium brands I looked at deliver that.

And then Marq is being launched - just in the middle of my search :-) What a funny coincidence! Cause BOOM - this is just what I was looking for. Mann that was a sweet surprise :-)

Since I am an athlete, I ordered the Marq Athlete version. That watch has exactly what I want. Really nice materials, 3. gen OHR, and smart notifications. Plus add to this - all Fenix' functionallity, a speedier processor and 12 days battery.

Oh yeah!

Despite being expensive - and please don't get me wrong here - I think this is bang on. I don't mind paying premium for premium. Yes - one could argue the display resolution is not high enough. Personally I would have liked to see HD graphics. But honestly said - that's not the deal breaker for me. The materials are though. And this is where I believe Garmin did the right choice. Premium materials with long battery and an OK display.

So I can't wait to get mine :-)

What about you? What version did you buy?

What I find quite strange is that on that site Jura, no matter which watch you buy, there is a difference in price before and after proceeding to checkout, for example Oris watch from PDS 1500 goes to PDS 1266. Garmin the same think. And it looks like they do not apply the VAT afterwards, as I am asked to put in my credit card and finalise the payment on the PDS 1266. Is this site a genuine one? Maybe I am missing something?

Hi guys,

I was able to get a higher discount from Jura so always worth asking.

Don't mention that you heard this from an existing buyer but bear it in mind that they can be more flexible if you ask them to be (or maybe I was super lucky in speaking to the right person for it);

Best,
Nick

Hi,
I am also eager to buy the Expedition. Could you please tell me how much discount they gave you at Jura? Thanks.

Edit: I've also tried to order there and for MARQ all the taxes are there when finalising the payment.

But why the Athlete costs 1399 initially and after you proceed to checkout the price changes to 1165 (pds)?

Well, I do not see those taxes anywhere. I was asked to enter my CC for 1165. Will the taxes be charged later automatically?

0 Phoner over 5 years ago

Strange, for me the taxes are there from the first step of the order up until the payment by PayPal or CC (tried both, no difference with taxes)

I entered my country, Romania for delivery destination, maybe because of this - but it should not make a difference, taxes should be there.

In the UK, VAT (value added tax) is always included in the the price shown in shops and online retailers for consumer sales. However, on an invoice/order confirmation this is broken down to show the cost of the item (£1165.83), the VAT (£233.17) and the full price (£1399), but's that's kind of just for information as you don't have an option, you have to pay the VAT (though this can be different for business customers). Anyone buying from within the EU (such as from Romania) will also have to pay this price including the UK VAT, but won't pay any further import duties/VAT (or equivalent) in their own country. That will obviously change when Brexit comes about, so that's something to be aware of.

Anyone ordering from outside of the EU would not have to pay this tax, but would face import duties from their own country. However, the seller might not give the option of paying only the non-VAT price to non-EU customers, who would then have to pay the VAT and then try to reclaim it.
