Hi

Anyone else noticed the numbers on the inner bezel on the MARQ Captain (Gen 2), makes no sense. No help in manuel either.

They goes like this:  10 - 14 - 16 - 15 - 17 - 19 - 25 - 21 - 19 - 17 - I - 09

@Garmin?

    That’s how it’s working. It’s a great feature. Suggestion, I’m 50km away from the ocean/marina. Would be great if I could have the dial representing the wind speed at the coast, not my home. 

    how frequently is this information updated?

    In the menu of the Garmin Connect app go to Settings » User Settings » Weather Location and enable the option Use Fixed Location, where you enter a location close to the coast (preferably near an airport, because the majority of Garmin's weather data comes from airport meteo stations).

    Every 20 minutes at most, as long as the Location services on the phone are enabled, and there is a data link.

    The sections around your bezel are representing the next hour. Each section that turns turquoise represents those periods of time that are ideal wind conditions for you when sailing.

    Could you please explain how to read the wind data, using my photos as an example?
    Should I use the numbers on the besel as the period of time - next hour, two, three and so on, or is it the time of day - 1 am or 1 pm, 2 am or 2 pm etc.?
    As you can see, it is now 8:49 pm. If I understand correctly, the 5 knot wind will start blowing 8 hours later (at about 5 am) and will continue for the next 6 hours (until about 11 am the next day).
    In the Weather application, where the data comes from, I see completely different information. It looks more like the 5 knot wind started blowing at 8pm and will continue until 2am. So, it seems that the numbers on the bezel show the time of day, not the following time periods.

    Unfortunately, I can't attach photos. You can see them here: photos.app.goo.gl/pgLPe2TeiRoQCjqSA
