Garmin Malaysia has just unveiled their most premium smartwatch yet. The new models, part of the new MARQ Carbon collection, are made with 130 layers of Fused Carbon FiberTM and are packed with features to be a reliable partner for sports enthusiasts.
“For years, the MARQ name has been synonymous with elevated designs and sophisticated style, and we’re thrilled to continue the legacy with the MARQ Carbon collection. Not only does this collection offer a premium design thanks to the luxurious carbon fibre case, but it integrates an authentic feature set, smartwatch functionality and more into a truly one-of-a-kind tool watch to help people pursue their passions.”
– Scoppen Lin, Assistant General Manager, Garmin Asia.
The collection consists of two models – the MARQ Athlete and the MARQ Golfer. Each model features a 46mm watch case made out of Fused Carbon Fiber, making it the lightest MARQ watch thus far. Thanks to the construction process, each watch case will have slight differences in the pattern between each unit, making each watch one of a kind.
The MARQ Athlete is designed to be the ultimate multisport tool, where it can track sports like running, swimming, hiking, rowing, indoor climbing and more via built-in profiles, as well as workouts like cardio, strength, yoga and Pilates. With the built-in suite of sensors, it also tracks advanced metrics like endurance score and hill score to help athletes measure themselves, while the training readiness score looks at the quality of sleep, recovery, training load and more to see if it is a good day to go full on hard or to take it easy while training. There are also features for runners where premium training features like PacePro, Garmin Coach, daily suggested workouts and a race widget is available to help runners prepare for their next big race.
Meanwhile, the MARQ Golf comes preloaded with more than 43,000 courses around the world to help golfers get their best game. The Virtual Caddie helps recommend the right club for the drive based on wind, elevation and historic swing data as well. Along with an active Garmin Golf membership, golfers can see right on the watch the slope direction on select courses. Features like these are designed so that golfers have a crystal-clear picture of each hole they are playing.
The premium feel of the MARC Carbon Collection doesn’t stop there. Each watch features an AMOLED touchscreen display for a bright, sharp and clear display with a domed sapphire lens to guard it from scratches. Additionally, the premium bracelets and straps are designed carefully to fit each user. They are made from perforated FKM leather, jacquard-weave nylon or silicone.
Each MARQ watch can have 16 days of battery life with each charge, so users can get through their toughest adventures with peace of mind. The included inductive magnetic charger meanwhile can help recharge the battery to 100% in about one hour.
If you want to pick one for yourself, the MARQ Athlete (Gen 2) – Carbon Edition retails at RM 15,399 while the MARQ Golfer (Gen 2) – Carbon Edition has a sticker price of RM 16,810. The watches can be purchased from mid-December, at Shopee, Lazada, the AECO e-store, Garmin Brand Stores and selected authorised retailers around Malaysia.
