Im owning a Marq Commander Gen 1 and im wearing it nonstop for three years now. For me it is the best watch i ever had. Its also the smallest of the Marq Collection and the size fits best. The other models are too chunky. Got it second hand for half the price tag and it is totally worth it. There is a niche Market for this definitely. Its for those people that like to spend much money on watches, that like the functionality of a SmartWatch but want to have it in best quality materials almost Like an analog watch. I think they dont care if it is outdatet in three years. But within this time frame the quality of the watch Material stays the same. It got saphire glass and it still looks like brand new. I would be more interested to see how the Gen 2 Marq Commander looks like. Wouldnt be worth for me to Change, but i think for people interested might be interesting to wait for it, since i think is the best model of the Marq collection, kinda understatement in appearance.

In the review the Marq 2 is considered similar to Epix 2 but actually it has a display of 1.2” which is smaller than the 1.3” of the Epix 2. That is a big difference between the watches.

I evaluated all these new Garmin watches and decided to buy The Fenix 7x. Battery lasts over 30 days! It also has the biggest display option available. I like big watches. I don't need AMOLED display that drains the battery, I want my battery to last. That's why Fenix 7x is the perfect choice for me!

With Gen Two, Garmin 'fixed' the only issue that Gen One had - the brightness of the display. Outdoors there was no issue. I must say the new display looks amazing and maybe by the time I need to upgrade my Gen One, it'll be Gen Three - but happy with it every minute it is on my wrist. Caulk it up to buying a tool that you use multiple times an hour every day of the year and the price per use is a bargain!

Garmin has their entire launch strategy ass backwards. This year they released, more or less, watches in order from basic --> best. Using a 935 for the last few years, I felt the itch to jump on the next high-end multi-sport watch and ordered the Epix G2, and I love it. While they look wonderful, there is nothing so compelling about the new MARQs that will persuade me to pick one up now that I've made my triennial Garmin investment. Release your flagship first, and I likely spring for one to satisfy the itch.

Supply Chain issues likely. But the way I see it, this is final hurrah for this particular Fenix design. So may as well use excess inventory to deplete the stock. Bill Blass and Eddie Bauer editions come to mind. The next model will be revolutionary as opposed to Evolutionary to compete better with iWatch.

I totally disagree with you suppose the Garmin’s strategic management is a genius: everybody was waiting desperately for Fenix 7, so after they released it everybody was running to buy one. A slightly later the Tactix 7 came out so the former Tactix owners (like me) sold their almost new Fenix 7 watches to buy thr new Tactix, and the Quatix users did the same after just two months… then they released the Enduro 2 so some of the former Fenix 7 users also sold their half year old watches to have the latest and greatest… and now the flagship has arrived. I think this business model was very smart: they sold much more product with this.

I hope Garmin won’t keep focusing on the appearance other than firmware, function and bug fixes. From years of fenix users to epix, the upgrade is significant and it’s making sense for better screen with higher resolution. From epix2 to marq, it misses the fundamental genie of Garmin watch, we want to use Garmin when we are doing activities and we want to monitor it. Marq vs epix is like lexus vs toyota. If I make enough money, probably I would pay extra for the look. However, 2k invest on relatively short life span watch seems not a good investment to me. I would spend that on bike hiking gear instead. 😀

I bought the D2 Mach1 all though I'm not a pilot. Bought because of the look (version with titanium bracelet) 1658 $ and as far as I can see it's all most similar to Marq. It's cheaper if you buy it with a leather bracelet. A Marq with titanium bracelet (extra) is most double up to the D2 M1 I can recommend the D2 M1 I use it only as a smartwatch and the health section/fitness / bicycle works just fine.

Seems nice, but I just bought the standard Quatix 7 (no AMOLED) - because - I mount my watch on my kayak (hard to see the info on the watch while flailing around with my arms). Problem with AMOLED is that you can’t turn of the brightness dimming down. No biggie when the watch sits on your arm, but if it’s mounted to a bike or a kayak etc. it’s more or less useless and unreadable during workout since it’s “sleeping”. Was a bit worried that the fancy AMOLED screens would make Garmin trash the older MIP type screen and went for the best MIP watch I could afford. AMOLED looks amazing though, when the screen is on.

Hi thanks for the video. On the golf features seems like this watch has exactly the same features as the golfer version. For the other versions are you effectively paying for the way it looks? As in all Marq 2 gen watches are exactly the same in terms of features/apps on the watch? Thanks

I am a sailor and the sailing app on the captain version seems great. Can I get the same sailing app on the EPIX series? I can’t find any info about that.

Whacked the button! This is really cool, but way to expensive. I find the Epix 2 to expensive as well since I got my Fenix 5 quite cheap

Hate the thinner strap of the EPIX and Marq. They should have the wider strap like on the Fenix X

The USB-C is likely to become standard for a simple reason: the EU has decided that all electronic equipment like phones, cameras and eventually laptops sold in the EU needs to be able to be charged with a usb-c cable starting 2024, and smart/sport watches are likely to have to follow suit. And if the EU does that, any company wanting to do business in the EU will likely have to do adapt to it.

As for longevity, would you pay to “rent” this watch until it becomes obsolete? 1 year? 2? 3? The math is ridiculous. Something between $2-5 per day.

One pet peeve of the pill shaped pogo pin charging contacts. They corrode over time and gives poor charging contacts. Why can't they adopt wireless charging?

I don’t really understand the need for my watch to advise me on jet lag, or any other “need” such as how much sleep I have to catch up on. I know when I travel how much the jet lag will be from the number of hours I go each way. Same thing with sleep. If I don’t get enough sleep, I know that. If I want to know how much I got, I can look it up in the app. The problem with sleep, it doesn’t help for your watch to tell you that you have to get so much sleep the next day to make it up. Sleep doesn’t work that way, you can think that I have to sleep nine hours tonight to make up for what I lost last night, and then sleep nine hours, but you can’t, so it’s a waste. Some smartwatches get OS updates for six years.
