What do you get with an $1,850 GOLF WATCH?! The Garmin MARQ Golfer 

Check out the MARQ 2…at this price I feel the AMOLED screen is a must. But it’s not a must for everyone, and it does eat into battery life

Yeah sure but I can only assume it’s a different beast to the tag. Thanks a lot great vid 👍🏼

Hi Geoff. I have taken it out on the course several times since, I just need to write my script and film my review. Hoping to release my full review next month 👍

You saw my genuine surprise when I found out it wasn’t touch screen 🤣👀 I’ve used it on the course once, and I’ve got three round in the next 7 days coming up, so will get a good feel for it, but my initial reaction is a lot of the money is in non-golf features I simply won’t use

Sorry, I'm not sure as I've only used the MARQ golfer. My guess is yes, but I would check with Garmin.

Genuinely wondering that myself. I’ll be using the starter kit myself for the first time this weekend…Given you need the tags to get putting and chipping stats, I’m gonna go with my putter, lob wedge and PW I think 👍

@@GolfGuyReviews thank you that makes a ton of sense! Just ordered my S42 today thanks to watching your videos!

Hi David. Not had a chance to film my full review yet, so I’ll try to answer your question here. In terms of golf functionality, the MARQ and the S62 are identical. While the MARQ has the sapphire glass, I didn’t notice a difference in screen quality. You do get used to using the buttons on the MARQ after a while, but I am a little disappointed not to have a touch screen for that money. I think the Marq is a far nicer watch than the s62 to look at, and it has additional functionality compared to the S62, although I won’t use most of the extra activity tracing options. If you can, I’d try and get a hold of a MARQ to wear before you buy one to see how it feels on and what it looks like to your eye…even at £1300, which is a significant saving, personally I think I’d rather put the money towards a mechanical watch instead. That’s of course my personal preference, and others will no doubt see the value in the MARQ for how it looks, how it’s made and what it does…but for me and the value I place on my money and how much I can justify on a watch, I’m left feeling a little disappointed. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other specific questions

@@GolfGuyReviews Hi mate. Really appreciate you taking the time to write the reply and detailed points. That helps massively as whilst like you say it’s a fantastic looking watch I could buy a mechanical one and keep using the S62 for golf only! Who know maybe they’ll be a Marq II and this will be reduced by more. Keep up the good work mate

Approach models such as S70 record swing tempo as you play a round. Pressing measure shot also shows swing tempo. I think this feature is missing on MARQ Golfer / EPIX / FENIX

In terms of golf functionality, they're the same (except as you point out the MARQ gen1 isn't touch screen). In terms of software, the MARQ does have a lot of additional activity tracking features for other sports and activities, as well as health tracking. In terms of hardware, the MARQ has a much bigger battery, a sapphire crystal screen, titanium body and Jacquard weave nylon strap... Whether these additional features make it worth over £1,000 more is u to the user....

Thanks Eddie 👍 will be interesting to see if they have a big discount in the future for sure

agree 100% I can't honestly see many people picking this up over the S62. For that money, you'd expect an OLED screen at least.

I haven’t actually seen that in my options, but I’ll take a look to see if it’s a widget I need to add

Thanks for watching Wolf…no inside info I’m afraid, but you’re right this has been out for a little while now….watch out for my full in depth review coming soon 👍

@@GolfGuyReviews will WATCH out for it mate! :)

Sorry Dina, I don't currently have any. There do appear to be some available for around £1,300 when I've googled, but I don't recognise the companies so you want to check them out for yourself.

感謝您的觀看和評論

Thanks for watching and sharing. What features are missing from the captain (apart from the included tags) I can see the benefit of always having your golf watch on you, but I do hate the fact my iWatch and other smart watches like these mean I wear my mechanical watches a lot less

@@GolfGuyReviews so far as I can tell, there is a “virtual caddie” feature in the Marq Golf which sounds like it has more features than the “golf” app in my watch. Also, the bezel has a “hole marker” which the Marq Captain doesn’t. All I really want is distances and layups and the Marq Captain has all that. I can check bunker distances, 150yd markers etc, or adjust for custom layups.

The new mark 2 with the amoled screen is touchscreen, but the original mark 1 is not touch screen

@@GolfGuyReviews Ah yes, that's it! Great, thanks!

I think I can just about getting away with it, getting used to the size. Yeah the Tag looks good too, trying to get my hands on one to do a comparison

Thanks for watching Raj, I don't think you'll be alone in that thought. Looking forward to posting a full review.

You sound like a humble fella 🤦

Thanks for watching Justin. Yeah I think the majority of golfers will be fine with what they have
