Even the $600 Forerunner 965 gives you most of the same tools.īut no one will look at any of those and see a luxury watch. You can get a very similar software experience with the $1,000 Epix Pro Gen 2, $700 Approach S70, or $1,300 tactix 7 AMOLED edition.

Otherwise, well, the best Garmin watches are already on the pricey side despite mostly sharing a plastic-heavy appearance. And while I'm a lottery win short of ever indulging on a device like this, I can also recognize that these MARQ Carbon watches are more practical than a ten-grand timepiece that just tells the time.

Garmin promises that its MARQ Carbon watches can withstand "ocean saltwater, exposed mountain terrain, and extreme weather, including rain, wind and snow, and bright sunlight." The fitness brand also explained that carbon fiber naturally blocks Wi-Fi and GPS signals, so it had to develop a specialized antenna to penetrate the higher-quality material.Įssentially, you're buying a rugged fitness watch that doesn't look like one, giving you health data but blending in for board room meetings or trips to the country club.

MARQ Commander Carbon buyers, meanwhile, will see a classier version of the tactix 7, with its night vision and stealth modes, kill switch, Jumpmaster, advanced weather reports, a Ballistics tool for sniping, and other niche tools for its $3,200 price tag. As for the $3,100 MARQ Golfer Carbon, Approach S70 users will recognize the 43,000 predownloaded golf course maps with green contours, Virtual Caddie, PlaysLike distance feature, and other specialized tools.
