Now there’s a new generation, and it’s clear they’re looking to fiercely rival theApple Watch Ultra, offering even more levels of luxury and performance. They seem a shoo-in for entry into ourbest smartwatchesbuying guide.
Different watches for every kind of wearer
There are five watches in the new MARQ range, and the names make it pretty clear who they’re aimed at: there’s the Athlete, the Adventurer, the Golfer, the Captain and the Aviator. It’s fair comment to say that these watches are aimed at people of the male variety: while of course there’s nothing to say that women can’t wear big chunky watches, the marketing is all rich-looking guys with faintly pained facial expressions.
They’re nice, though. They’re tough-looking without being ridiculous, to the point where I’d say they actually look quite discreet. There’s nice and impressively subtle use of colours on models such as the Athlete with its little hits of neon, and there are also some strong resemblances to iconic analogue luxury watches in models such as the Captain. Prices range from $1,900 to $2,400 / £1,599 to £2,099 and each one is made from Grade 5 titanium with a large, crisp AMOLED display.
All of the models here deliver vital signs tracking, energy monitoring and even Jet Lag advice to help you avoid the worst downsides of travelling, and the other features depend on the model – so the Athlete gets VO2 max monitoring, stamina monitoring, training readiness and other key fitness features while the Adventurer comes with topographic maps, round-trip routing and a new orienteering feature. The Golf edition has a virtual caddie and markings for you to track which hole you’re playing, and the Captain has an autopilot that can connect to the navigation system in your boat. Because if you’re in the market for watches at these prices, you’re bound to have at least one.
