Garmin expands its range of luxury smartwatches with the introduction of the third generation MARQ, a premium collection consisting of six models created for users with diverse passions, from exploration and performance sports to aviation, sailing or golf.

Previewed in Palma de Mallorca, and launched today, October 13, 2026, the new generation MARQ brings together the Adventurer, Athlete, Aviator, Commander, Diver and Golfer models, each developed around a specific universe of activity. The new series brings more generous screens, improved navigation functions, expanded communication possibilities directly from the wrist and an exclusive design for each variant.

Premium construction, carefully selected materials and a focus on functionality make these watches sophisticated instruments for use on land, at sea or in the air. Each reference in the collection benefits from a distinct design, highlighted by personalized combinations of ceramic straps, bracelets and frames, complemented by an exclusive selection of digital dials inspired by the aesthetics of classic watches appreciated by collectors.

Garmin has chosen grade 5 titanium and sapphire crystal for the new models, materials that offer high resistance without compromising wearing comfort. In addition, the third generation MARQ introduces the largest screen used so far in the collection: a 1.4-inch, borderless AMOLED display designed for superior readability.

The navigation capabilities have been significantly expanded by integrating preloaded TopoActive global maps and the address search function, allowing quick orientation to almost any corner of the world without additional preparations. The collection also benefits from inReach connectivity, which greatly expands the communication and safety possibilities of the new generation MARQ, allowing users to stay connected even when they are far from the conventional coverage of mobile networks. By connecting to the LTE network, the watch can make calls directly from the wrist without the need to use the phone. At the same time, the new Garmin Locate function allows real-time location sharing to family and friends via the Garmin Messenger app. Users can send and receive text or voice messages, access weather forecasts provided via LTE or satellite connections, and benefit from added security thanks to the SOS function dedicated to emergency situations. In the event of an incident, the watch can instantly transmit an alarm signal to the Garmin Response international center, where operators are available at all times, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to coordinate the intervention and provide the necessary assistance.

For everyday use, all models are equipped with an integrated speaker and microphone, providing voice control and easy access to the functions of the connected smartphone. A high-intensity LED flashlight contributes to efficient use in low light conditions, a function that is as simple as it is useful in any conditions.

Health monitoring remains a central element of the collection. Available functions include electrocardiogram analysis, sleep monitoring, stress level assessment, oxygen saturation measurement, and heart rate variability analysis. Users also receive personalized morning and evening reports designed to provide a detailed picture of recovery and preparation for the next day. Not to be neglected, all models offer up to 18 days of battery life in smartwatch mode.

“We are excited to introduce the third generation of MARQ, designed for those who seek excellence. These watches made with great attention to detail combine the sophisticated style for which MARQ is renowned, with navigation functions and intelligent features more advanced than ever. Each of the six luxury watches with modern instruments is tailored to the user’s lifestyle and reinforces Garmin’s mission to create superior quality products that help our customers follow their passions.” – Alexandru Moise, Sales & Marketing Garmin RO, HU, BG, MD.

The watch that we had the honor of testing for the first time, the MARQ Diver, is dedicated to aquatic and underwater activities. With diving resistance and functions specific to water navigation, it can be used both in marine exploration and in everyday life, offering a rare combination of technical performance and the elegance of a premium watch.

The MARQ Adventurer is geared toward exploration and outdoor enthusiasts, benefiting from advanced maps, compass markings integrated into the frame, and the ClimbPro function, which provides detailed information about ascents on the route.

MARQ Athlete is aimed at athletes aiming to optimize performance, offering complex tools for analyzing workouts, assessing endurance, and measuring running efficiency. The sporty look is complemented by a silicone strap and a ceramic frame marked with the VO2 Max indicator.

Intended for both pilots and frequent flyers, the MARQ Aviator integrates aeronautical charts, aviation-specific weather information and a UTC indicator dedicated to managing time zones. The design is complemented by a leather strap and a ceramic bezel with markings inspired by on-board instruments.

The MARQ Commander is designed for tactical uses and includes features such as stealth mode, compatibility with night vision devices, and advanced solutions for orientation and ballistics. Its rugged appearance is accentuated by the camouflage pattern bracelet and black ceramic bezel.

For golf enthusiasts, MARQ Golfer includes access to more than 43,000 preloaded courses and specialized features such as Virtual Caddie and green contour analysis, all integrated into a sophisticated design inspired by the world of the sport, from the vibrant shade of green to the texture of the bracelet.

Designed for those who spend their time exploring the world and constantly pushing their limits, Garmin devices have redefined the way adventurers, athletes, off-road enthusiasts and outdoor enthusiasts live their experiences. By continuously developing technologies that enhance performance, comfort and safety, the company maintains its commitment to innovation, seeing every day as a new opportunity to create better solutions and raise previously achieved standards.
