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?

Latest update from Jura Watches:

I'm afraid there has been a slight delay with the shipment of the Marq pieces, we are now expected to receive these approx. week commencing 15th April. However, please be rest assured that we have managed to allocate you a piece from the very first shipment we receive so once we receive that here we will get that shipped out to you on a pre-1pm next day delivery service.

We were expecting them by the end of this week however the first shipment has been pushed back slightly I'm afraid, we do only relay the timescales in which we receive from the brands as as these pieces have proved to be so popular there has just been a delay in the production

Nice way to lure people into ordering early...;-( All other jewelers that I contacted said from the beginning that they will only arrive mid to end of April.

That was more than likely due to the terms of the deal between Garmin and Jura in terms of Jura getting the initial exclusive stock allocation.

Ordered mine Captain Version from Jura today. Shipping for April 15. Wonder if anybody else here prefer captain as well?

Hi RomanReff- welcome to the club! I went for the Expedition but the Captain looks great with that ceramic bezel! The band is also nice- I would have considered it over the Expedition if it didn't have that Regatta timer inscription on the bezel.

Best,
Nick

Now I'm torn between switching my order for the Athlete edition to Expedition. Spoke with Sophie at Jura today and they are expecting the first shipment around 19th April so have time to decide or order an Expedition as well which I think may be overkill. I'd only ever use the expedition features on the munro's plus there's a new Edge 830 on the horizon as well which is making this decision a pain.

I am also considering the Marq series. From a feature point of view I would go for the Athlete. From a pure design aspect I would prefer the Aviator - but all the special feature of that model I will never use.
The expedition could be something in the middle... not sure if I will like the design long term. Also the leather strap is a question mark. Currently I have a leather strap but it is not my first choice.

My current plan is to go for the athlete and buy additionally the band of the Aviator. I did a quick and dirty mock-up from the pictures on the garmin pages and it looks quite nice.

Don't forget to look at "What's In The Box" with these watches:

MARQ Expedition
Extra black silicone rubber watch strap
USB/charger cable
Documentation

So the Leather Strap isn't really an issue since it comes with a Black Strap. It would be nice to see a picture with the Black Strap on though.

That's right - the rubber strap is offered with each of the watches. It is probably the only strap really useful for working out (at least for endurance activities) - but I would like to have an alternative for the office.
