Garmin has officially unveiled the third generation of its premium MARQ luxury smartwatch collection, which includes six specialized models: Adventurer, Athlete, Aviator, Commander, Diver, and Golfer. Designed as a high-end alternative to traditional mechanical timepieces, the series utilizes Grade 5 titanium chassis, ceramic bezels, and sapphire crystal glass.

A major technical upgrade in this generation is the integration of inReach satellite connectivity and LTE modem capabilities. These features allow for two-way messaging, voice calls, and emergency SOS signals directly from the wrist, even without cellular coverage, though satellite services require a subscription. The watches also feature built-in speakers, microphones, and LED flashlights.

Visually, the collection introduces a larger 1.4-inch bezel-less AMOLED display with high brightness, reaching up to 3,000 nits. Each model is tailored to specific activities, such as the Aviator with UTC time and aeronautical weather data, the Diver with specialized diving functions, and the Golfer with a virtual caddie. New hardware details include inductive buttons to maintain water resistance up to 10 bar and improved battery life, lasting up to 18 days in smartwatch mode.

The collection is scheduled to be available starting November 5, 2026, with prices reported to begin at approximately €2,350, though specific models like the Diver may reach up to €3,100.
