Adding Hot Keys to the MARQ Collection Watches

The MARQ® Collection and MARQ® (Gen 2) Collection watches have a hot key option that allows for the customization of buttons to quickly access specific settings or options on the watch. This allows for assigning shortcuts to the watch buttons instead of needing to make the selections from the watch menus.
