Exactly, this is a perverse business model. The watch is already dated lacking the newer hardware/software features so it would be a stupid purchase. Why did Garmin not announce this model with the release of gen 2? Fed up with Garmin.
Is there any difference apart from the case material? I can’t see DCR doing a new review based on that alone if the functionality is identical to the non-carbon models.
What a shame that they have released this late into the cycle - if there was a trade in program I would have been interested - but as it now it seems too far into the life cycle of the MARQ 2, as seem worth holding off until the MARQ 3 is released...
