Expert opinion
The first MARQ launched in March 2019 in a 46mm titanium case with a domed sapphire lens, a 1.2-inch 240 x 240 always-on display and 32GB of storage for maps and music. It tracks with GPS, GLONASS and Galileo, measures heart rate, Pulse Ox and HRV status, and runs Garmin Pay, music and Connect IQ apps. Garmin rates it for 12 days as a smartwatch, 28 hours of GPS and 48 hours in UltraTrac. It has no AMOLED display, no multi-band GPS, no Training Readiness, no flashlight, no ECG and no LTE or satellite messaging, which MARQ Gen 2 and MARQ Gen 3 added in turn.
