Garmin fans might not have to wait much longer for the next luxury smartwatch lineup. Thanks to a recent discovery by Garmin Rumors, early mentions of the unannounced MARQ (Gen 3) have been spotted directly on Garmin’s official support website.
The find surfaced on Garmin’s Spanish support portal, pointing toward an imminent release for the luxury series.
Where the MARQ Gen 3 Was Spotted
The reference was first uncovered on a support page detailing how to pair watches with the Garmin Explore app. Interestingly, the compatibility list groups the MARQ Gen 3 right alongside newly released hardware like the Enduro 4 and the Fenix 9 series.
Beyond the Spanish site, identical mentions have appeared on regional support pages for Chile and Argentina. Additional articles regarding accessory connections and weather locations also reference the new series name, whereas the US English versions of these exact pages still only list the older MARQ (Gen 2).
While Garmin hasn’t published official pricing or a release date on its main storefront yet, support page leaks like this usually mean an official announcement is just around the corner.
What to Expect From the Next Generation
The current MARQ Gen 2 series has been on the market for quite a while, with subsequent updates focusing mostly on new materials, such as carbon editions and Damascus steel variants—rather than a complete platform overhaul.
Following Garmin’s usual strategy, the upcoming Gen 3 lineup is expected to inherit the core feature set of the newer Fenix 9 platform. Specialized luxury models like the Athlete, Adventurer, Aviator, Commander, and Golfer will likely retain their sport-specific toolsets while benefiting from upgraded hardware and software.
Connecting the Dots: Mysterious Database Filings
This isn’t the only clue pointing to new hardware on the horizon. Regulatory filings spotted earlier in global databases, such as the mysterious Garmin “Outdoor Product” model A05240 flagged in recent certification logs, have kept the community guessing. While filings like these often mask upcoming cycling computers or secondary regional variants, they frequently pave the way for heavy-hitting platform derivatives like next-gen luxury and tactical watches.
