Garmin has unveiled its third-generation MARQ collection, a six-watch luxury lineup that brings inReach connectivity directly to the wrist. With an active subscription, the watches can exchange text and voice messages over satellite or LTE, share locations, receive weather forecasts and send SOS alerts to Garmin Response. LTE also enables calls from the watch.
The feature extends the satellite-connected direction previously seen in Garmin’s fēnix 9 Pro line to the company’s premium tool-watch range. Garmin notes that inReach coverage and available features vary by region, and satellite connectivity has limitations compared with other inReach devices.
All six MARQ 3 models use a 1.4-inch AMOLED display—the largest yet in the MARQ series—inside a Grade 5 titanium case with sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel accents. They are rated for dives to 40 meters and use sealed buttons, while Garmin claims up to 18 days of smartwatch battery life.
- Preloaded global TopoActive maps and on-watch address search
- A built-in speaker, microphone, voice controls and LED flashlight
- Sleep, stress, Pulse Ox and heart-rate-variability tracking, plus morning and evening reports
- ECG app support in eligible regions
