MARQ Athlete doesn't just tell its wearer how fast their heart is beating or how fast they are moving. It tells him how good his form is, whether it is advisable to go full throttle in the next session or to allow the body to recover. The watch knows the most popular trails in the area and provides real-time information on the ascent you are currently struggling with. The wrist PC fetches music from Spotify, enables digital payment and offers the full range of functions of a smartwatch. 17 different screens can be seen in the product description. These are probably not all that MARQ has to offer.
The wearable all-rounder costs an impressive 1,800 francs, a price at which some people expect not only performance but also style. And MARQ has that - you could say it has more of a watch look than most GPS wearables. With a titanium case and a carbon bezel (the name of the ring around the dial), the top model also clearly stands out from the plastic cases of the competition in terms of materials. Nino Schurter poses not in Lycra but with a leather jacket and the luxury sports watch on his wrist. If you're going to be totally scrutinized and have your condition permanently rubbed in your face, then at least in an exclusive form - that could be the motto of the MARQ wearers. If this appeals to you, you should hand your wrist to MARQ when you get the chance.
