Garmin Marq: the specialist among smartwatches
Posted 14 October 2021 by Miriam Reading time approximately 2 minutesThe Garmin Marq is not just any smartwatch. It is the translation of the Garmin DNA evolved into a precision instrument tailored to the needs of the user. Captured in a sleek look, Garmin has created a smartwatch that is both practical and a desirable accessory.
The Garmin DNA
More than 30 years ago, Gary Burrell and Dr. Min Kao had a vision: They wanted to be the global market leader in GPS technology for the aviation, marine and automotive industries. From motor yachts to tractors, professionals have trusted Garmin for years. But consumers also drive to their destination without any problems with the use of a Garmin navigation system.
This know-how comes together in Garmin's latest series of smartwatches: Marq.
Smartwatches for different activities
The Garmin Marq series is made for the active man: sailor, athlete, adventurer, pilot and golfer. Every smartwatch is equipped with functions that optimally support the user.
In addition, Marq smartwatches have been exhaustively tested and meet the highest standards for water and shock resistance for wearables.
To achieve this, optical adhesion and alignment, water pressure tests and temperature, shock and abrasion tests are used. The result is an optimized design that expresses the owner's personality, interests and aspirations.
The combination of advanced technology with superior materials such as titanium, sapphire crystal, ceramic, strong DLC coatings, water-resistant Jacquard motif nylon and Italian vacchetta leather give each model its own unique look.
Especially for adventurers, athletes, sailors, pilots, drivers and golfers
Watch.co.uk currently has six different models in stock from the Marq series. Each watch has unique properties, tailored to the end user.

As great as the Marq smartwatches are, the large 46 mm size makes the watch unsuitable for every wrist. Also the specialist character and the price will not appeal to everyone. Fortunately, Garmin has an even larger collection in which everyone can find a suitable smartwatch! For example, the Lily, especially for women. Instinct for outdoor athletes or the lightweight Vivoactive for use in the gym. All available at Watch.co.uk.
