US-based wearable major Garmin on Thursday launched its premium luxury watch collection ‘MARQ’ in India. It is offering five new variants in the country. The basic model is called the MARQ Athlete and it would be available for Rs 1,41,990. The MARQ Driver is available for Rs 2,36,990 while the MARQ Aviator is available for Rs 1,84,990. Garmin has also announced the MARQ Captain and MARQ Expedition for Rs 1,74,990 and Rs 1,65,990 respectively. These new wearables will be available for purchase on www.thegarminstore.in.

The new MARQ series is being announced as tool watches and they differ from company’s fitness-centric wearables. All the five models in the MARQ series are built of lightweight but durable titanium. They also feature a ceramic bezel inlay to protect them from the wear & tear. “Engineering and innovation have always been the two biggest pillars for Garmin. The MARQ collection is crafted with precise attention to details, both in terms of form and functionality,” said Ali Rizvi, National Sales Manager-Garmin India, in a statement.
