I have a MARQ and I absolutely love it. It's a great addition to anyone's collection and the build quality is absolutely incredible. I came from a Garmin Forerunner 945, and the upscaled quality means I'm never going back. Also, congrats on 1 million!
Totally agree with you. I currently have the Fenix 3 HR and it still works like a charm. It has all the pros you indicated but at a fraction of the cost. Keep up the great work!
Also have the 3hr. The 2 things that I would like to change are a higher res display, and nfc for Garmin pay. Still going strong though, and still no scratches on the sapphire.
Haha I have the active 2 and it scratched the first week I was so mad because I got the stainless steel I have since used insurance and the replacement has no scratches yet
I might've misunderstood your comment, but yes, spending 2k on a watch that will be outdated in every way in no time doesn't make any sense to me unless you're fairly wealthy. This (imo ugly) smart watch won't be anything more than over engineered paper weight after a period of time in which a well maintained 2k mechanical watch would still be running perfectly fine.
Le0 Most I've spent on a watch was the Casio G-Shock Mudmaster. This thing has taken a beating, been through every kind of abuse imaginable, and still runs flawlessly without a hitch. Best 500 I've ever spent
I still love my Gear S3 from 2016. It may not be as regal as the Garmin, but I think it's just as classy and evidently very durable. The steel casing has some scratches and the battery life is reduced but the screen is pristine and rotating bezel still clicks.
Great review as always! For those looking for similar specs in a more affordable range, Garmin makes a whole slew of them! The Fenix 6 line is very comparable for half the cost. Personally went with a Fenix 5 Plus. Titanium version, sapphire glass, for about 450 dollars gets you most of the same bells and whistles!
I'm a mechanical watch guy and I love my Sinn 104, Oris Aquis and Seiko "Willard". I'm interested in smart watches, but the big problem for me is that most of the time the screen is black. I see that Garmin make "always on" watches with good battery life but the battery saving displays are low resolution. I'm tempted to get one anyway, but I'd like to see the technology mature a little more.
I absolutely loved the editing, writing and VO work starting at 4:20. It was such a joy to watch and seems like it probably took a lot of work to bring that all together. Amazing job :)
Sir, you reviews were good years ago. They have continued to improve over time. Thanks for being a faithful reviewer of all things mobile! In my opinion, your reviews are honest and spot on.
Garmin make some fantastic sporting smart watches. The Fenix series is everything you could want for the great outdoors, sport and urban life. So glad you've discovered the Mara series and appreciate it 👍👍
Seeing as some of my watches are nearing 6-figures, I’d say $2k is a sneeze for a durable and stately watch with good GPS and such that is also a bit more exclusive than a boring old Garmin Delta or similar.
Great review, thanks! I agree with you, I am hesitant to spend $2k on a piece of tech that will be 'last year's model' in 2021. Smartwatches don't increase in value like analog timepieces can.
I'm still not a fan of smart watches... But it's a MrMobile video, so I have to watch it anyway. That's the beauty of this channel, and what makes Michael so good. He makes subjects/products your not interested in entertaining and informative still.
You can get the important functionality from the Fenix 5-6 line for a wide range of pricing. Why buttons over a touch screen? When you're running in freezing weather with gloves, buttons are a lot more practical. The health features and Garmin Connect reporting are great too.
I love the Marq series because it's the only watch series that truly offers mechanical high end watch quality with smartwatch technology and useful fitness/outdoor focused technology. But that blue jacket you had on was fire dude!
Love the look Mr Mobile but I have a Galaxy watch with aluminum silver band curved fitting to the circular face with blue dial. Looks as sleek and hefty as your Garmin but with software amd screen improvement. Still the best overall smart watch on market.
@mrmobile That was my post from "ablogtowatch" regarding the Garmin Marq and the watches I saw while on Special Operations. It was fun to suddenly see it on here. Thanks!
I’m glad that you like your garmin. I’m a chef/manager at my restaurant , try android but I’m Apple user, tried all the Apple watches, but I always go back to my garmin fénix 5plus.
since you're already in the neighborhood, mind letting us know how you feel about tag heuer's newest "connected" smartwatch or is that already in the works? 😁🤙
Agree with you on the "focus" aspect. I'm an actual race car driver, and I would (almost) never use a smartwatch as a lap timer. I have specialized gear for that. What I DO like to do with my Garmin (Vivoactive 3) is sync my heart rate from the watch to the video and speed / yaw / etc. sensors in my Garmin Virb camera. It's neat to see my heart rate trend up as I get closer to passing the guy in front.
What caught my eye is that it looks just like my Omega Sea Master Titanium. It's the first beautiful smart watch I've seen that can live up to the sculpted beauty of fine Swiss watches.
I really want this watch. It they can get the price down to 1200-1500$ in the next 10 years, you got me. Maybe once i get into residency i’ll start saving for one of these ;)
I still use an Asus Zenwatch 2, and honestly I still get at least a day and a half out of the battery, and it surprisingly still looks perfect save for a couple minor scratches on the metal casing and functions perfectly connected to my Note 10+. I just wish Asus still made smart watches. And people around town still ask me about my watch if they see it, which is pretty cool. Keep up the great work!
I have bought an insanely stupid amount of smart watches....from motrorola to samsung to apple, and when i bought a garmiin instinct i wa ssold to have more watch than smarts, the looks, and functionality which is simple at best makes sense to me, its more watch than gadget and prompted me to get a fenx and i feel i have a quality watch that has the looks and feel of something premium but just the right amount of functions for what i would need it for...so i share ur enthusiasm..also i see these aging a whole lot better as they will always be good looking watches. Plus the long running time is a godsend...no more thinking bout charging ur watch onlong trips i was away for 24 days and charged it once only
While I haven't seen anyone wearing a MARQ series watch, I would say 40 or 50% of Navy Pilots wear a Garmin Fenix series watch. In some commands, they are actually issued one. I know of at least one story where the crew used their Garmin watch to safely navigate and land their jet when they had a malfunction and lost all of their instruments in the cockpit. And don't get me wrong, most of us would love the MARQ or even the D2 series, but they are hundreds (or thousands) more than a Fenix and they only have one or two features that the Fenix doesn't.
Absolutely a prestige/luxury play, yes! Also, that comment I cited from ABTW said something similar about service members using Garmin products. I'm not surprised; they're solid!
@@TheMrMobile I also completely agree with your statement that it ruins other watches for you. I've tried other watches (smart and normal) and nothing comes close. Music storage, two weeks of battery, tracking for every sport imaginable, and a super tough sapphire crystal just seals the deal for me.
I love smartwatches, ever since I owned the pebble steel and then the Gear S3 frontier. However, Pebble disappeared and eventually o got tired of having to charge my watch every 3 days (and that was better than most). Got myself a Fenix 6 Sapphy and honestly it's miles above anything else. Battery is crazy and can be customized with power modes, fitness tracking is the best, GPS, build quality, scratj resistance, smartwatch features, true always on display that I don't have to worry in battery life, water resistance... And the list goes on! I can't believe it took me so long to discover Garmin watches
Great review as usual. I would love to own one, but if I was about to spend almost $2,000 on a watch, I would rather get a Hamilton or Longines automatic and spend the rest on a Garmin Fenix 6. 😄 But I admit, I am not a target customer.
I bought my forerunner 645 a month ago from Amazon for slightly more than $200. I have used the Pebble, Fitbit, Ticwatch Pro (gen1) and Amazfit bip. The 645 easily wins it for me. I will always keep my pebble close but Garmin no doubt is the clear winner of the bunch
Every time I watch one of your Smartwatch reviews it makes me want to reconsider smartwatches, but when the video is over and the lust is over I remind myself that I don’t care about notifications, music on a watch, and that the watch will be obsolete in a few years. Still though, I love your videos keep up the good work.
Thinking to upgrade to one of these, currently using a Fenix 5X plus titanium, absolutely love it, the build quality on the MARC models would be a step up.
when you mention heft..funny thing is, titanium is made to replace stainless steel as lighter but same strength metal..also a lot of people would love a lighter watch for exercise or daily activities, try running several hours with 100 grams on your wrist and you'll see why you want the lightest watch..
This Garmin Mara is much more desirable “high End” tool watch than its main competitor from Tag Heur. The Tag smart watch is a brick and sits higher off the wrist than the Garmin. Michael, you forgot to mention the quality of the straps too, that nylon strap looks very well made and comfortable. I say all this because I’m about to order one. : )
Came for the Star Trek quotes... stayed for the Pog/Slammer references! I'd be curious to see what you think of something like the Garmin Venu, which has all of the non-sailing functionality of the MARQ, with a (much) better screen, not quite the same build quality, but a much more favourable price!
I've got the garmin tactix charlie and the biggest selling points were the long 2-week battery life and the sapphire glass which really does stay scratch free. Sure some of the unique options are cool, but really its just nice to see little things like heart rate, calendar updates and phone messages, but I would surely have broken a "regular" smart watch by now with how much of a brute I am.
This is aimed at a very rarefied consumer base seeing as my humble Redmi Note 7 is approximately 10 times cheaper than the Garmin MARQ Captain and is very decidedly not as premium. Heck, even my TV is 1/4th the cost of this device. That being said, more power who want to own one of these amazing smart-watches. I'm sure if my finances allowed me to, i would have got myself one ! :D . Much love to Mr.Mobile. Your narration makes every video of yours a masterclass on tech videos
Really nice video! I'd love a comparison with the new Garmin Quatix 6. I've been coveting the Captain since it came out, but at half the price the new Quatix is a tough competitor.
my Fenix 3HR still functions the same as I bought it 5 years. Even the battery is still good. About 5-6 days without running. 3-4 days if I run everyday. I expect MARQ would last 10-15 years.
I've been using a Garmin Fenix 5+ for about a year, since I got tired of the poor performance of Wear OS. It's been great. Also Garmin has top of the line fitness and activity tracking far better than most smartwatches.
@@tdebug1 I tried a Galaxy watch before going to Garmin. It worked ok, but caused about 20% battery drain on my Pixel 3 from the Samsung software. The fitness tracking is also garbage. The heart rate monitor is useless during workouts, since it fails to pick up heart rates over 130 bpm and can not pair with an external HRM strap. The Garmin has none of those issues.
@@BryanHoefer Yes I agree. I still have a Galaxy Watch, which I use randomly and it's hardware lighting years better than any Wear OS watch still. Wear OS devices limited to ancient qualcomm chips, which make them working only a day with always off screen. Enough to ridicule the platform, which also far from the best.
Yeah I can appreciate your taste in that particular version. Dive watches are very popular. Rolex is a household name after all. I'm more of a Seiko budget aspiring to own an a Lange & sohne kinda guy!
Garmin makes some of the best durable smart watches. My Fenix 3 lasted 3 years, and it’s still running strong. I’ve since upgraded to the Fenix 5X, and it’s even better.
GREAT REVIEW! Wondering if you’ve checked out Garmin’s new S62 golf smart watch and how it compares to the Captain. I love the Captain in terms of quality build but need for me is something that’s more about golf versus fitness.
To double the warranty for such an expensive product from one to two years is a joke. 4 or 5 years seem more appropriate if they designed a high-quality product and trust in their own engineering.
Great review! It’s funny how paying $1850 for a smart watch is way too much but paying $1850 for a traditional, mechanical watch that can only tell the time, such as a Rolex, is a great deal 😂
Because unlike a smartwatch, which has a shelf life. A traditional mechanical watch is forever. Also, a nice timepiece works as a family heirloom. I can't imagine the current Apple watch would be relevant or interesting... or functional, 25 to 30 years down the road. Whereas a Rolex or Omega will always do what its intensed for, which is tell the time as accurately as possible.
You skipped the most important feature of the screen. Yes it is low resolution but it’s that way for a reason, you can see it under light. No backlight needed, just put it towards any kind of light source and you can see the screen. It is VERY VERY visible, which is highly important in terms of battery saving and outdoor fitness. And sailing, I guess...
Its basically the fēnix 6 with some sailor features and over 1k in price. Such a gimic. You can customize a fēnix with bezels and straps to make it look extra as well
Garmin has been overlooked as a smart watch for a while now. Their watches do great notifications and are the best for health tracking. The fenix series gives you basically every feature the mark series does at a quarter the price.
Watching your video is just one of the best thing I am doing so far in UA-cam. Whether product related to me Or not. 1 Request Pls cover the Review of Upcoming Nokia 8.2 ( Because I am thinking of Purchasing it & I don't want to watch other scraps) .
I have been using a garmin Quatix5 for sailing. It’s quite useful with all its features for racing in sailing dinghies. I am sure the Marq is useful too.
@@soa2444 I do still have it…and while it would have been nice to have the gen 2…the gen 1 cost 2 grand…while I don’t mind dropping that and a little more on a traditional Tag or Omega. I doubt I’ll ever spend that much on a smart watch ever again. If anything I wish I had known they were coming out with the Garmin tactical…I do quite a bit of crazy shit…and that watch would be ideal for most of it.
I'm super happy with my Fenix 6x Pro Sapphire. I got it for way cheaper and as for as that compared to the Commander MARQ version I would much rather have this one. I get roughly 9 days of battery life on average use and that is with Heart Rate one all day, and exercise or runs every day using GPS during that duration of fitness. I turn notifications off most of the time since I have my phone with me but love that I can download songs to it from Spotify. When I put it in battery save mode I get 80 days of battery life!! NO JOKE. I was on a shot 3 month deployment and I never charged it once. Now I had most things turned off and used it every so often for GPS and grid pulling but it lasted forever!
Don't worry, considering the trend of phone prices, these prices will be very acceptable in two years time. Beside that, I'm glad you found a product that you enjoy and that's all that matters.

This Garmin Mara is much more desirable “high End” tool watch than its main competitor from Tag Heur. The Tag smart watch is a brick and sits higher off the wrist than the Garmin. Michael, you forgot to mention the quality of the straps too, that nylon strap looks very well made and comfortable. I say all this because I’m about to order one. : )
Good review style. Good stuff. Subbed you
Came for the Star Trek quotes... stayed for the Pog/Slammer references!
I'd be curious to see what you think of something like the Garmin Venu, which has all of the non-sailing functionality of the MARQ, with a (much) better screen, not quite the same build quality, but a much more favourable price!
Great Video (:
Did MrMobile ever told us what jacket he is wearing?
I've got the garmin tactix charlie and the biggest selling points were the long 2-week battery life and the sapphire glass which really does stay scratch free. Sure some of the unique options are cool, but really its just nice to see little things like heart rate, calendar updates and phone messages, but I would surely have broken a "regular" smart watch by now with how much of a brute I am.
This is aimed at a very rarefied consumer base seeing as my humble Redmi Note 7 is approximately 10 times cheaper than the Garmin MARQ Captain and is very decidedly not as premium. Heck, even my TV is 1/4th the cost of this device.
That being said, more power who want to own one of these amazing smart-watches. I'm sure if my finances allowed me to, i would have got myself one ! :D .
Much love to Mr.Mobile. Your narration makes every video of yours a masterclass on tech videos
Really nice video! I'd love a comparison with the new Garmin Quatix 6. I've been coveting the Captain since it came out, but at half the price the new Quatix is a tough competitor.
my Fenix 3HR still functions the same as I bought it 5 years. Even the battery is still good. About 5-6 days without running. 3-4 days if I run everyday. I expect MARQ would last 10-15 years.
I've been using a Garmin Fenix 5+ for about a year, since I got tired of the poor performance of Wear OS.
It's been great.
Also Garmin has top of the line fitness and activity tracking far better than most smartwatches.
Any smartwatch is better than wear os watch :)
@@tdebug1 I tried a Galaxy watch before going to Garmin. It worked ok, but caused about 20% battery drain on my Pixel 3 from the Samsung software. The fitness tracking is also garbage. The heart rate monitor is useless during workouts, since it fails to pick up heart rates over 130 bpm and can not pair with an external HRM strap.
The Garmin has none of those issues.
@@BryanHoefer Yes I agree. I still have a Galaxy Watch, which I use randomly and it's hardware lighting years better than any Wear OS watch still. Wear OS devices limited to ancient qualcomm chips, which make them working only a day with always off screen. Enough to ridicule the platform, which also far from the best.
What a great review! With passion!
Yeah I can appreciate your taste in that particular version. Dive watches are very popular. Rolex is a household name after all. I'm more of a Seiko budget aspiring to own an a Lange & sohne kinda guy!
Garmin makes some of the best durable smart watches. My Fenix 3 lasted 3 years, and it’s still running strong. I’ve since upgraded to the Fenix 5X, and it’s even better.
GREAT REVIEW!
Wondering if you’ve checked out Garmin’s new S62 golf smart watch and how it compares to the Captain. I love the Captain in terms of quality build but need for me is something that’s more about golf versus fitness.
To double the warranty for such an expensive product from one to two years is a joke.
4 or 5 years seem more appropriate if they designed a high-quality product and trust in their own engineering.
The downside of a better / higher resolution display is that it will most likely compromise on battery life.
Great review! It’s funny how paying $1850 for a smart watch is way too much but paying $1850 for a traditional, mechanical watch that can only tell the time, such as a Rolex, is a great deal 😂
Because unlike a smartwatch, which has a shelf life. A traditional mechanical watch is forever. Also, a nice timepiece works as a family heirloom. I can't imagine the current Apple watch would be relevant or interesting... or functional, 25 to 30 years down the road. Whereas a Rolex or Omega will always do what its intensed for, which is tell the time as accurately as possible.
Stunning looking watch. For the price Garmin must keep it updated.
I don't really care about smartwatches. I just love watching your videos. Good stress buster 😁
I owned the Garmin Fenix 5x plus and i love it but the display is poor!
Love your videos!!! Please do a review of the Tag Heuer generation 3...
You skipped the most important feature of the screen. Yes it is low resolution but it’s that way for a reason, you can see it under light. No backlight needed, just put it towards any kind of light source and you can see the screen. It is VERY VERY visible, which is highly important in terms of battery saving and outdoor fitness. And sailing, I guess...
Lo
Its basically the fēnix 6 with some sailor features and over 1k in price. Such a gimic. You can customize a fēnix with bezels and straps to make it look extra as well
Garmin has been overlooked as a smart watch for a while now. Their watches do great notifications and are the best for health tracking. The fenix series gives you basically every feature the mark series does at a quarter the price.
Does “other” include the Apple Watch? Cuz it sure as hell hasn’t for me
Watching your video is just one of the best thing I am doing so far in UA-cam.
Whether product related to me Or not.
1 Request Pls cover the Review of Upcoming Nokia 8.2 ( Because I am thinking of Purchasing it & I don't want to watch other scraps) .
What is the watch on far right at about. 50 seconds mark.
POGs and slammers. You’re definitely a child of the 90s. :)
I have been using a garmin Quatix5 for sailing. It’s quite useful with all its features for racing in sailing dinghies. I am sure the Marq is useful too.
Not my personal style, I'm partial to analog watches, but this is the first smartwatch that objectively I like everything about. Same about the jacket
I almost bought the captain, went with the Athlete Performance instead...and I love it so much.
Do you still have it? Did you wish you waited on the gen 2
@@soa2444 I do still have it…and while it would have been nice to have the gen 2…the gen 1 cost 2 grand…while I don’t mind dropping that and a little more on a traditional Tag or Omega.
I doubt I’ll ever spend that much on a smart watch ever again. If anything I wish I had known they were coming out with the Garmin tactical…I do quite a bit of crazy shit…and that watch would be ideal for most of it.
Those sunglasses you're wearing are sick 😎! What brand are they?
Seriously thinking about picking up the Marq athlete. Currently have a Fenix 6 Sapphire.
If you really want the toughest watch look no further than the Casio G-SHOCK
Amazing review as always, what’s your say on the latest escobar fold 2 scandal and how different youtubers reacted
I'm super happy with my Fenix 6x Pro Sapphire. I got it for way cheaper and as for as that compared to the Commander MARQ version I would much rather have this one. I get roughly 9 days of battery life on average use and that is with Heart Rate one all day, and exercise or runs every day using GPS during that duration of fitness. I turn notifications off most of the time since I have my phone with me but love that I can download songs to it from Spotify. When I put it in battery save mode I get 80 days of battery life!! NO JOKE. I was on a shot 3 month deployment and I never charged it once. Now I had most things turned off and used it every so often for GPS and grid pulling but it lasted forever!
Don't worry, considering the trend of phone prices, these prices will be very acceptable in two years time.
Beside that, I'm glad you found a product that you enjoy and that's all that matters.
