Garmin Marq Commander
Garmin has unveiled the latest addition to its Marq line, a new collection of smartwatches built for adventure. While the first Marq watches were aimed at flyers, hikers and seafarers, the stealthy, matte black Commander is aimed at the more tactically-minded. In addition to offering a new aesthetic, the Marq Commander is built from lightweight titanium, with a sapphire crystal lens to give it that extra layer of protection. Other notable features include an always-on display that is built to work with night vision goggles, a built-in stealth mode (can stop the watch from storing or sharing GPS position, and disables wireless connectivity and communication), topographic mapping, a barometric altimeter, compass and a UTC bezel to make sure you can keep track of your location. Away from its unique tactical features, you can expect all of the same core features you’ll find in most of Garmin’s existing smartwatches and fitness trackers, including notifications for email, calls, and messaging from a connected smartphone, a sunlight readable display, built-in music storage with Bluetooth streaming, NFC payments, GPS location tracking, an optical heart rate/pulse oximeter sensor, and up to 12 days battery life. What sets them apart from Garmin´s current wearables lineup are new activity-specific functions. watch the video below
