The new MARQ Performance Editions were announced for four of the eight MARQ devices. Performance Editions are available for the MARQ Driver, Aviator, Athlete, and Adventurer.
In three of the four new watch offerings, the price for the Performance Edition is less than the same MARQ watch. Some of the MARQ watches come with leather or metal bands while the Performance Editions shift to a silicone band offering. If you want to save some money and want a MARQ device, the Performance Edition options are compelling.
