Garmin Marq Gen 2 // The Best Garmin Watch You Can Get

I have had the Marq American Magic (Captain) for about a year now and honestly it's what I daily, every single day. Expensive, but incredibly worth it. I'm glad they're continuing the line with a 2nd generation of these.

[@aexetanius]

Being about twice as expensive, what makes it worth it? The materials and the overall feel? Do you have any experience with the Fenix and/or Epix series to compare to?

[@Jusader]

@@aexetanius It's purely design driven as it uses the same Fenix system. For me, it's the fact that it looks more of a "normal" watch with premium materials that I've yet to scratch (titanium), and I've been incredibly hard on the watch unintentionally. I have a Fenix 6S & I've messed with the Epix -- the main differences is that the Epix is much more vibrant and bright versus the display on the original Marq series, which is what I have. In outdoor light is where this watch truly shines; very easily legible. I still wear this Marq daily - I might upgrade to this new version due to the touchscreen abilities and being similar fashion of the Epix line.

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

​@@JusaderFun fact, titanium is a lot easier to scratch than stainless steel. Nothing beats DLC stainless steel.

[@milaweitz]

@@StardustLegacyFighter well, Titanium Grade 5 is different level than Titanium on cheaper Fenix/Epix. More over Marq Aviator has Hardened Titanium.

Always enjoy your reviews :) I wanted to buy Gen1 years back wasn't sure about the screen clarity..........well 2 days ago I had a chance to see both Ge1 & Gen 2 and was surprised how clear the Gen1 Athlete screen is during daylight while in workout mode, Black text on white background is very easy to read. Gen 2 AMOLED is obviously much better and you do get all the latest tech :) I purchased the gen1 at less than half price with 2 years warranty and decided to give it a try, love the screen clarity during workouts. Anything other than viewing the screen while working out the Gen 2 AMOLED is much better. After 7 years with Apple Watches I'm glad I'm using the Garmin Brand again. Nothing wrong with The Apple Watch especially the ULTRA but just glad to be using Garmin again :)

[@renevh2832]

Great review with all version differences specified. Good to mention their weight 84g with silicone band and screen 1,2” 390x390 px. Epix2 Sapphire 70g, screen 1,3” 416x416 px. I am impressed that their weight while entirely made of full grade 5 titanium is lower than my previous steel and polymer fenix 5 plus sapphire (89g). But my dark grey epix2 with brown silicone band is gorgeous enough.😊

[@indonesiaamerica7050]

The problem that I have with the pricing on all of these watches is that no matter what else happens I am told there is no way to replace the battery when it fails. Therefore in terms of buying a watch it's a different decision matrix when spending thousands on any watch in that class versus, say, buying a Rolex that has less functionality but can be expected to last longer than the buyer does. I look at these things as having a 5 year lifespan, as my best guess. And then you need something new. The first Forerunner I ever bought had a user replaceable battery even though the factory did not support its replacement. It was easy to take apart and seal up again. These watches in theory can be repaired but I don't know of anyone that has reverse engineered them and documented it for others to try.

I have to admit 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.

Grade 5 Titanium is much softer than steel. In Rockwell C scale approximately 41 vs 60 (knife steel 58-62). This means that it also scratches more easily

[@nitesharora]

Grade 5 titanium is more scratch resistant than typical steel used in watches. It has a hardness of 300 Hv, which is double the hardness of 316L stainless steel, which has a hardness of 150 Hv. Grade 5 titanium is an alloy that contains 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium. It's stronger than other titanium grades and is more resistant to corrosion, scratches, and heat. Grade 5 titanium has "self-healing" properties. When it scratches, it will initially show a little brighter, but quickly oxidizes to the same color as the rest of the titanium.

Hey Des, Great review but I was hoping you could answer one question for me that I can't find anywhere including Garmin support online. Does the Titanium band from the Aviator match the body of the Adventurer EXACTLY? I really want to buy the adventurer but I want to be sure that the metal bands match. With all these slight variations in colours I can never be sure and its a lot to spend to find out I'm wrong! Thanks in advance.

[@DesFit]

Hey Steven, I don't have both of them to compare but looking at the photo/renderings on Garmin.com it appears that the titanium on the Adventurer case may be every so slightly darker than the Aviator. So not sure if it would match exactly. Again though, that's just from the images and could be different in real life. Sorry I'm not able to help beyond that!

[@AnkitSharma-pz7ss]

Can you please share the expected battery life ? Also surprised to see they have not introduced solar edition considering that's what they are doing in almost all of their watches. My dream watch will still be enduro 2 at the moment. :)

Same battery life as the Epix. Solar + AMOLED tech is probably a while off still. While it makes more sense with MIP displays, it’s not quite as beneficial with AMOLED displays.
