Let’s face it, a ₹2000 watch can tell time but a timepiece that has been bought in exchange for a small fortune can get a thrill. The statement, of course, only stands for those belonging to the club of luxury watch aficionados. So if you too are a member of the club, Garmin’s new Luxury Marq (Gen2) Collection can catch your attention and hold it hostage.
The collection has five watches: Marq Athlete, Marq Adventurer, Marq Golfer, Marq Captain, and Marq Aviator. All the watches are specially designed for athletes, adventure and aviation enthusiasts. Built with Grade-5 titanium, each one has an AMOLED touchscreen display with a domed sapphire lens. The battery can last up to 16 days in smartwatch mode and up to 42 hours in GPS mode.
An interesting feature in the Marq (Gen2) Collection is the Jet Lag Adviser. The adviser uses sleep history and other metrics to make recommendations about light exposure, sleep schedule and exercises to minimize the effects of jet lag. The Jet Lag Adviser will also suggest ways to quickly and easily adjust to a changed time zone for example reminders for caffeine intake.
The Marq collection also has Garmin’s suite of 24/7 health and wellness features like wrist-based heart rate, respiration and stress tracking, advanced sleep insights, and Body-Battery. As for price, the Adventurer comes at ₹2,15,490, the Athlete is priced at ₹1,94,990, Aviator is for ₹2,46,490, Captain for ₹2,25,990 and Golfer comes at ₹2,35,990.
