MARQ Athlete watch face

Hi there,

Just got my MARQ athlete and loving it so far, besides the question of some Connect IQ data fields like surf tracker or tides app arent still available (hope they'll be soon), i really feel that is important to change the field of the default watch face, specially the "total run" because not every athlete are runners, and for a daily use it will be more useful to have a choice to get other info like step counting or total distance for example.

Any preview on software updates? I think that Garmin users that are willing to pay over 1000 EUR for a watch should be heard about their needs and opinions.

Hi Romz72 - Check out the beta update post we just made. Our new 3.33 beta update enables the Athlete watch face to be configured for Cycling-specific data. See the post here.

Thanks,

Mel

As I do both cycling and running, any chance the watch could show both "Run Total" and "Cycling Total" in the two circles?

Thank you, is there ano future possibility to personalise the data in the circles to fit each user preferences, i think would be more useful

The ideal would be to configure the face to show whichever sport is your preference. I swim (pool and OW), run (trail and road) and bike (MTB and Road). Would’ve be nice to have a options there.

I fully agree, but I've a feeling it's going to be a lot more work for the devs to implement 100% customisability, rather than just let us use what has already been implemented at the same time. (as opposed to choosing one or the other)

My wish list is as follows:

- Show both run and cycle totals inside the circles.

- Option to hide the second hand.

This would increase the battery life a lot. I'm seeing nearly twice the battery consumption using the Marq watch face compared to the stock digital watch face with 'static' data fields (battery % and notifications).

Better yet, give me access to the source code and I'll have it done by the weekend! Garmin-Heath Garmin_ODQA
