Garmin MARQ Driver

The most expensive model in the Garmin MARQ series of smartwatches will please with its presence on the wrist of fans of speed. The key functionality of a smartwatch with a simple name Driver is tied to collecting the maximum amount of information about the race.

Drive

"Drive" watches became the first sign of Garmin, sharpened for car hauls. Among their direct duties is fixing the time to overcome the circle, tracking the passage of the track at control points, measuring the speed of movement and distance. A miniature odometer with detailed information on the current race is displayed directly on the dial of the transflective smartwatch display. Over 250 racing tracks are loaded into the model's memory during the "build" phase.

Top notch assembly

The smartwatch is made in black and red colours, and the strap is made to match. The basis for their creation is titanium, diluted with a diamond-carbon coating of an all-protective case and silicone strap links. The weight of the Garmin MARQ Driver is 128 g. In addition, it is worth noting that the watch case is waterproof in accordance with the highest requirements of the IP68 standard.

Full charge

Of course, smartwatches collect information about the activity of the “carrier” during sports training, measure the pulse, monitor blood oxygen saturation levels and “lead” the user according to GPS, GLONASS and Galileo satellite geopositioning systems. Thanks to the presence of an NFC chip, the watch supports the Garmin Pay payment service. The smartwatch also demonstrates excellent battery life — up to 12 days with navigation turned off and about 9 hours with active GPS monitoring while listening to music through Bluetooth headphones in parallel. The only stone in the garden of smartwatches is the “biting” price tag, even by the standards of the undemocratic cost of other representatives of the Garmin MARQ squad.
