Reviving Ancient Excellence Through Supreme Craftsmanship
For over three decades, Garmin has led the way in setting unparalleled standards in technology, creativity, and innovation for GPS devices and smartwatches. The MARQ collection embodies Garmin’s relentless spirit of innovation. Displayed alongside the MARQ Adventurer (Gen 2) – Damascus Steel Edition at the event were other distinguished designs, including the commanding MARQ Captain (Gen 2), the poised MARQ Aviator, the champion MARQ Athlete (Gen 2), the adventurous MARQ Adventurer, and the intelligent MARQ Golfer (Gen 2).
The MARQ Adventurer (Gen 2) – Damascus Steel Edition proudly inherits a legacy of extraordinary craftsmanship. Inspired by Damascus steel’s over 11-century-old history—renowned for its superior durability and distinctive wave-like patterns used to forge legendary swords—Garmin masterfully revived this tradition in a modern smartwatch. The unique allure of its 46mm case and bezel, engraved with a 360-degree compass design, required expert metallurgy skills. The steel is forged through repeated folding and twisting into 80 distinct layers, resulting in one-of-a-kind patterns for each watch. The exceptional hardness of Damascus steel demands meticulous finishing, ensuring every watch is an exclusive masterpiece.

From being an ideal navigator for elite expeditions to offering extensive multimedia storage, entertainment, and navigation capabilities in any environment, the watch also acts as a “health and wellness assistant,” providing real-time alerts for abnormal body metrics to ensure timely responses in any situation.
