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?

    ...The new respiration rate graph is pretty interesting on connect, but I'm curious if it really picks up every breath just yet because i feel like i was breathing pretty heavy during this section and at the very end of my run, but the actual increase in respiration rate isn't as high as i would have expected.


    Where did that respiration rate graph come from? I never even knew it was a thing and can't find it on any of my MARQ activities so far in GC.

    (and while I'm at it, how do you do inline replies to posts on here?)

    I know it's early days, but can any owner comment on the toughness of the bezel yet (on either Athlete or Expedition). Just would not want to spend this cash on something that is easily scratched.

    Thanks!

    nmyeti Thanks - did a ride today and that's showing the respiration graph and it's also now appeared retrospectively on my earlier activities with the MARQ (and Wahoo TICKR ANT+) - guess it was a staged roll-out on GC.

    No "Comment" button for me, just the Quote, Flag and Like buttons. These day's I'm just grateful if I can even post to the forums - couldn't at all for most of the weekend, just kept logging me out as usual. Yep, the new forums can't come soon enough.

    Ordered athlete from JURA last Thursday and its in the post today, :) so stock levels must be ok. Went from fenix 3 to to Apple Watch 4 and i hate it.
    Looking forward to trying out the athlete later this week.

    Couldn’t figure out how to quote a reply (the button is there for regular posts) so I’ll do it here.

    Thanks for the clarification on the color.

    Also, regarding DLC, the manual only shows the Driver with DLC, I didn’t see it mentioned on the Athlete or other models.

    The Athlete bezel is DLC .


    Confirmed, I see it on the page, now. Weird, the other bezels aren’t, except for Driver.

    Here's another run from this morning- found a park that didn't have too many high rise buildings around it. Still some interference happening no doubt.

    Since there respiration rate there I'm guessing that you were wearing a chest strap HRM but it looks like something went haywire from 9 to 10:30 minutes. Also a big chuck of Stryd data missing in that time frame.

    Any idea what that was?
