Athlete vs Expedition

Hi, I’ve been trying to compare these and they seem really close. Am I missing anything from below?

Expedition
* Orienteering modes.
* Low power mode (1 track per hour)
* Leather band (includes same band as Athlete?)
* Plus $250 price.
* Bezel

Athlete
* Health metrics on button press
* Bezel
* Triathlete app/widget (couldn’t see it for expedition).

Otherwise, the manuals and functionality seem almost identical?

The Triathlon app is in the list of apps you can add to the MARQ. There is also a multisport event on the MARQ Expedition. You can also do a custom multisport event as well.

I actually wanted to buy Athlete and accidentially purchased Expedition. When they came, I wasn't able to change them back ))

If you bought it from Garmin.com, you have 30 days to return or exchange it.

Who can tell or better show what are the Extra Physiological Metrics on Athlete?

Crispin, can you tell or better show me are the Extra Physiological Metrics on Athlete?

Basically as well as a little chart showing you your VO2 Max and training effort by type over the last week (data which is available elsewhere on all MARQs AFAIK), all it's going to give you are predicted 5K, 10K, half and full marathon times

Thanks. So you get this on Expedition but not combined as such

I believe I have the same screen on my Expedition. At the moment I've only done one run with it so it says "no status" with instructions to take two runs outdoors with heart rate strap to see your status. But it has the VO2 Max chart, Load focus (mine is High Aer. Shortage), 7 day load (which is the screen shown above), recovery (in hours) and heat acclimation all in separate screens under the training status widget.

JOHN_MACKEY, that's the Training Status widget that you are seeing. The screen NeilJonesOnline posted is unique to the MARQ Athlete and is only accessible by Hot Key. If you go to Menu>System>Hot Keys then scroll through the list of options for one of the hot key combinations, the "Performance Metrics" option is the one that is only for the Athlete version.

Apart from the race prediction times, yes
