MARQ Commander Carbon Edition
The MARQ Commander Carbon Edition is a tactical variant of the MARQ series, designed specifically for military personnel. While it shares many features with its siblings, it replaces some sport-specific modes with functionality tailored to the needs of those in the armed forces. Distinguished by its sleek, all-black design, the MARQ Commander eschews the colorful accents of its siblings, instead featuring a bezel with engraved 24-hour UTC markings, making it a practical and stylish choice for military professionals.

Similar to other Garmin watches designed for military use, the MARQ Commander features a stealth mode that enables the watch to continue functioning while preventing the storage and sharing of GPS data and disabling wireless connectivity. This ensures that sensitive information remains secure.
