Garmin released the long-awaited second version of its premium Garmin MARQ collection on October 11, 2022. MARQ Gen 2 brings five premium-class watches to the Garmin product family, which, true to their type, contain advanced features and high-quality materials.
The models aimed at athletes, adventurers, golfers, aviators and sailors differ from their predecessors not only with their advanced sport features, but also with a wonderful AMOLED touch screen. The sensitively responsive touch screen is complemented by traditional buttons that guarantee the functionality of the watch even in extreme situations. The renewed MARQ Gen 2 collection is aimed at those who are passionate about their hobbies and interests and is available in a limited number of selected value watch stores. The Garmin MARQ Gen 2 smartwatch helps you achieve your uncompromised sporting goals and acts as a tool that keeps you up-to-date at all times.
Garmin MARQ Gen 2 with AMOLED touch screen
The most significant and certainly also the most expected innovation of the second generation MARQ collection is its AMOLED touch screen. The sensitively responsive and accurate touch screen improves the user experience of the watch considerably compared to its predecessors. It makes accessing the menus easier and faster, which is perfect for a watch made for passionate enthusiasts. It is now easier to use the watch even when the operation is in progress and the performance is at full speed. The traditional buttons connected to the touch screen, on the other hand, guarantee that when the sport takes you to extreme conditions, the watch is still operational.
High-quality titanium and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal
In terms of materials, these watches are built for maximum use. The grade 5 titanium used in MARQ Gen 2 watches is described as being up to five times more durable than regular steel, and its scratch resistance and resistance to heat and corrosion is completely in its own class. High-grade titanium has been used in the watch cases, in some models also in the watch bezel and in the strap of the Aviator model.
The sapphire glass lens of the watches is also scratch-resistant and the dome shape of the lens guarantees the clarity of the display. When these are combined with the best-suited wristband material for each sport, it is ensured that performance in the sport does not depend on this work tool.
True to their species MARQ Gen 2 smartwatches
Garmin defines its MARQ Gen 2 watches as "luxurious and modern tool watches" and this is well justified, because their design, which fits the spirit of the sport, not only looks good, but is also designed to serve the enthusiasts of the sport in the best possible way. The first-class materials of the watches also exude luxury, and their comprehensive, genre-specific features make them tools. Next, we'll go over the special features of each of the five watches.
Garmin MARQ Athlete Gen 2 for the ambitious trainer
This watch doesn't just guide you in mastering different species. The main theme of the MARQ Athlete Gen 2 watch is development during and between performances. The most important metrics for performance development have been brought to central places on the watch, such as the recovery and maximum oxygen uptake scales, which have been engraved as a permanent part of the watch case. The watch makes observations about your condition with continuous monitoring and tells it about your current preparation for the new performance. While the exercise is running, it measures your performance in real time. This way you can also easily adjust your performance in real time and avoid, for example, overexertion at the beginning of the exercise.
Emulating a chronograph style, this black and titanium gray ensemble features sporty, bright yellow effects. The material of the wristband has been thought out to optimize the measurement of sports performance, as the efficiently designed silicone wristband guarantees the most accurate sensor data.
Garmin MARQ Adventurer Gen 2 watch's advanced built-in navigation functions
The MARQ Adventurer Gen 2 watch is also an externally valid tool for adventurers and those who move around in nature. The watch follows the classic shape of a compass and 360 degree compass markings are engraved on its bezel. In addition to this, the high-quality titanium case of the watch is combined with a strap made of leather and FKM rubber, which is sweat-resistant and stain-resistant, excellent even on long trips and when you are at the mercy of the weather.
In addition to its external features, the Adventurer Gen 2 is equipped with useful internal navigation functions, such as multi-band GPS, barometric altimeter, three-axis electronic compass and ClimbPro, as well as preloaded European TopoActive maps, which make it easier to navigate even in unfamiliar terrain. The Expedition application of this watch is the absolute companion of the hiker, which guarantees GPS for up to two weeks, a trail log with waypoints and emergency navigation.
