Garmin MARQ Gen 3 Aviator features:

Quality materials

The Garmin MARQ Gen 3 Aviator smartwatch combines an extremely durable and lightweight grade 5 titanium case, a ceramic bezel, and a sapphire crystal lens. The watch is finished with a soft Italian calfskin strap with an adjustable titanium buckle. The polished black UTC bezel and separate GMT hand highlight the watch's aviation-focused design. The watch also features leak-proof inductive buttons, a built-in speaker and microphone, and a bright LED flashlight with micro-lens technology.

Aviation features

The Garmin MARQ Gen 3 Aviator offers comprehensive tools for flight planning, navigation, and tracking. The watch's global aviation database includes airports, navigation aids, intersections, and waypoints. Direct-to navigation allows you to navigate to the nearest airport or a selected waypoint, including with voice commands. The HSI course indicator helps you follow your intended flight path and identify deviations from the planned course.

Aviation weather and personal weather minimums

The watch lets you view aviation weather information, such as METAR and TAF reports, as well as NEXRAD weather radar images on a moving map. The MOS meteogram also provides information based on weather forecasts to support flight planning. Personal weather minimums let you set alerts for things like crosswind, cloud ceiling, and visibility. The watch can also be set to notify you of new weather bulletins and changing conditions.

Flight logging

The Garmin MARQ Gen 3 Aviator automatically logs flights and allows flight data to be transferred to flyGarmin.com. Recorded data includes, for example, flight date and duration. With the Garmin Pilot app, flight plans can be received wirelessly on the watch. The watch also supports connections to compatible Connext avionics systems.

Barometric altimeter and time zones

The barometric altimeter can be used to track flight altitude and set alerts for reaching selected altitudes. The watch can also give a vibration alert at altitudes where supplemental oxygen may be needed. The pulse oximeter helps monitor blood oxygen saturation at high altitudes. The UTC indicator, GMT hand, and multiple time zone display make it easier to keep track of time in international aviation.

PlaneSync technology

The MARQ Gen 3 Aviator supports PlaneSync technology, which lets you view status information for a compatible aircraft directly on the watch. This includes, for example, fuel status, electrical system status, database currency, and aircraft location.

inReach LTE and satellite connectivity

LTE and satellite connectivity make it possible to stay in touch even without a phone on hand. Over an LTE connection, you can use Garmin Messenger calls, text and voice messages, and LiveTrack location sharing. With a satellite connection, you can send messages and location updates and receive weather forecasts outside of cellular network coverage. Garmin Messenger calls work between app users. inReach services require an active subscription and a working network or satellite connection.

SOS function and Garmin Response

In an emergency, the MARQ Gen 3 Aviator allows you to send an interactive SOS help request to the Garmin Response coordination center via LTE or satellite connection. With the Garmin Locate feature, preselected contacts can check the watch's last known location. Communication and SOS features require a compatible service and network or satellite coverage.

Training and performance tracking

In addition to its aviation features, the MARQ Gen 3 Aviator includes comprehensive training tools. Training readiness evaluates your readiness for the next workout based on factors such as sleep quality, recovery, and training load. Training status helps you track the effects of your training, while endurance score and hill score reflect developments in long-term performance and hill running. Garmin Coach offers training plans for running, cycling, strength training, and triathlon.

Running features

For runners, the MARQ Gen 3 Aviator offers comprehensive running dynamics data, such as cadence, stride length, and ground contact time. Running tolerance helps estimate the strain caused by training and the recommended weekly running distance. With a compatible accessory, you can also track running economy and stride speed loss. PacePro provides GPS-based pacing guidance, and the race time predictor estimates possible race times over various running distances.

Navigation and maps

The MARQ Gen 3 Aviator includes preloaded global maps and comprehensive navigation features. Dynamic round-trip routing generates route suggestions based on the desired distance and can update the route if you stray from the original path. NextFork shows upcoming intersections, ClimbPro shows upcoming climbs, and the Up Ahead feature highlights important points of interest along the route. Multi-band GPS and SatIQ technology support accurate positioning and optimized battery use. The watch also includes address search as well as preloaded ski resort and golf course maps.

Garmin Epic

Garmin Epic allows you to record, relive, and share multi-day activities as a single experience. The feature brings together activities, photos, and health and performance statistics from, for example, a longer trip, hike, or training block.

Everyday smart features

The watch offers comprehensive smart features for everyday use. Watch faces, data fields, and apps can be downloaded from the Connect IQ store. It also offers smart notifications, music storage and playback, Garmin Messenger, Garmin Pay, and Garmin Connect syncing. The built-in speaker and microphone also enable compatible calling and voice functions.

Safety and tracking features

Safety features include incident detection, an emergency function, location tracking, and real-time event sharing. With the Garmin Locate feature, preselected contacts can check the watch's last known location.

Sensors

The Garmin MARQ Gen 3 Aviator uses GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, and BeiDou positioning along with SatIQ technology. In addition to the Garmin Elevate wrist heart rate monitor and pulse oximeter, the watch features a barometric altimeter, compass, gyroscope, accelerometer, thermometer, ambient light sensor, and a depth sensor functional to 40 meters.
