Those of you who purchased the F6, I'm curious how do these compare to the Marq series. They appear to still be less expensive with even Solar introduction.

It's an interesting question and one that is easily answered. Why do people pay $10K for a Swiss Automatic when you could get all the features in another watch for $500?
The fact that you are asking…
Frankly, the top of the line 6X is a solid improvement over even the most expensive Marq. The 6X has longer battery life (GPS is advertised as possibly being 2x longer), a larger display, a lighter case…
I was very disappointed with Garmin and how they released the MARQ only to turn within months (of when available) with the F6. The MARQ should have got the larger screen and best features.
Sold my MARQ…
I have both a Marq Athlete and a Fenix 6X Pro Solar. I now prefer the Fenix 6X mainly because of its bigger (and better) screen. To me, the Marq would be the perfect watch if it were lighter, with a higher resolution and somewhat bigger screen.
Great- thanks man ........ and no issues with any scratches what so ever? You would go with titanium?
No issues, apart from 1 small dent and some minor scuffs in the black bezel it still looks like new after almost 2 years. As said, now I prefer the Fenix for running because the screen is bigger and very bright. The Marq is a bit more understated, so better suited for daily wear.
Thanks man! Like I said .......... contemplating right now. I'm GUESSING the Fenix 6X Plus would be an UPGRADE over my Fenix 5X Plus Sapphire but not 100% sold that it's WORTH it right now. Haven't heard if they will be coming out with anything similar / better in the NEAR future.
