Lost footage - corrupted SD - now recovered thanks to a few helping hands. Very happy to finally be able to share the review of the MARQ Captain! This was supposed to have been uploaded a few months ago but the footage got corrupted. Now having recovered the files, without any further delay my honest review of the Garmin Marq. Yes it is expensive, but yes it is also impressive. This thing blows pretty much any other smartwatch out of the water (no pun intended).
If you wear your smartwatches a lot or even exclusively - have a closer look at this one, it's a thing of beauty.

Did you ever complete the in-depth review of any of the other Garmin Marq watches from the intro video?

Perfectly timed video of the sunnier side of life amidst the unravelling of the planet under the weight of the coronavirus and lack of.. toilet paper :-D Lovely and concise video, thank you!

The screen looks really dim in the sunlight. Is that just the camera or is it like that in person too?

@degriff 3 жыл бұрын

just the camera, looks perfectly fine in real life!

The Garmin Fenix is very visible in the sunlight. In fact since it has a transflective screen, the more light you shine on the screen the more visible it becomes. That makes it ideal for daylight activities and in the sun. So I take it this watch has a regular LCD technology ? Meaning not transflective ?

Same screen, I think it is simply the lens playing tricks. As you mentionthe more light hits it, the easier to read. It’s been a while since this was shot but We probably used polarizing/ND filters (as there was too much light at times, blowing out the shots) and such on the camera at certain times - that might have perhaps altered the screen legibility. All I can say is that in real life I did not notice any difference with the fenix screen, not worse nor better 👍

Actually you can buy the fenix without sapphire crystal glass witch is whey less reflective.

I had a montblanc summit 2 which I enjoyed, but I disliked the way in the sun, it was almost impossible to view the face. This looks the same, I want to like smart watches but I’m much happier now with a regular traditional watch that doesn’t wash out in sunlight.

I would never wear ONLY this watch. Love mechanical watches way too much for that and they are a different animal indeed. For sports watches however, Garmin makes some superb stuff and this particular one is one of the very best. Screen visibility is no issue, rarely need the backlight during the day (you can set it to go on at the flip of your wrist, I turned it off). But yes - no subsititute for a mechanical watch 👍

can You tell me what is the color of Paracord bracelet on Yours wrist?

@degriff 4 жыл бұрын

hey Arkadiusz, this was a chord recovered from a sailing boat locally, someone just made it in that bracelet on the spot. It was just a navy blue, with red and white accents. As far as I could tell it wasn't exactly paracord though, less threads inside than parachord if you know what I mean

easily the best watch if you want the best from both worlds (and don’t care about the cost) 😁

2:55 what do you mean? Did Garmin sent you the watch for review (so for free)?

@degriff 4 жыл бұрын

Yes had it for a 90 day hands-on test. This is not done in the watch world, as that is a lot of time for things to go wrong. So Garmin was clearly very confident the watch is solid. And it is, there is no better built sports watch out there right now. Mind you we never keep watches we get sent for review, everything gets sent back.
