Right- finally got my MARQ Expedition yesterday. Didn't get to play with it much but unboxed the watch and did the set up.
Having owned a few time pieces from top watchmakers, I have to say that the packaging was most excellent. The build quality of the watch is top notch, loved the leather band.
The additional rubber band is quite nice as well and I like it better than that of my former F5 Plus.
I got around to doing a few short runs today, in spite of the yellow wind warning in London today and staying up until 04.00.

Dislikes:
-the watch restarted, when I attempted launch POI navigation- clearly work left to be stability wise
-had issues with my Jabra Elite Active 65t- Spotify worked fine until I started an activity, which immediately resulted in music cutting out
-(temporary) lack of app support, including Stryd; used another data field but no power metrics got recorded on GC or Strava
Neutral:
-briefly tested the "around me" nav function--took its sweet time to produce results; so did opening the map
EDIT:
Stryd metrics are successfully displayed on GC now that the Stryd datafield supports the MARQ series
I had no audio cutouts with a cheap pair of Anker earphones. Will contact Jabra to ask why their fully wireless 65t Active product that costs 8 times as much doesn't work as well
