Garmin’s third-generation MARQ collection is on sale now, with US suggested retail prices starting at $2,500. The lineup spans six models, from the Diver to the Aviator. Garmin is pitching them as premium tool watches with a bigger screen and several new features.
The headline hardware change is the display. Garmin says the new 1.4-inch borderless AMOLED panel is the largest yet on a MARQ. It also claims up to 18 days of battery life in smartwatch mode.
The six third-generation MARQ models
Garmin is selling the collection in six versions:
- MARQ Adventurer
- MARQ Athlete
- MARQ Aviator
- MARQ Commander
- MARQ Diver
- MARQ Golfer
Susan Lyman, Garmin’s Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing, introduced the range in the press release:
We are thrilled to introduce the third-generation MARQ collection, designed for those who demand excellence.
Pricing and Availability
Garmin lists the collection as available now, with suggested retail prices starting at $2,500 in the US. Its release and product page give only that starting price, not a price for each model. Non-US pricing wasn’t part of Garmin’s US announcement, so check your regional Garmin store.
The sticker price isn’t the whole bill. Garmin’s footnotes say inReach connectivity needs an active plan, and LTE coverage isn’t available in all regions. Satellite SOS also comes with what Garmin calls important limitations. If you want those features, budget for a subscription on top of the watch.
For context, Garmin’s fenix 9 launched at $999.99 and the Enduro 4 launched at $899.99. The MARQ sits well above both.
Specifications
Beyond the larger screen, Garmin lists five new features for the collection. They are preloaded TopoActive maps, inReach connectivity, a built-in speaker and mic, an LED flashlight and an ECG app. The ECG app isn’t available in all regions, per Garmin’s footnote.
