Carbon Fiber Watch Showdown: North Edge and Garmin

In the field of smart sports watches, the carbon fiber material has become a favorite of many brands due to its high strength and lightweight characteristics. Today, we will compare the carbon fiber watches of the niche dark horse North Edge and the industry giant Garmin to see what unique advantages each of them has.

Material and Craftsmanship: Similar Raw Materials, Different Textures
North Edge's carbon fiber watches (such as the ALPS series) mostly use carbon fiber composite materials to make the watch case. Through special processes, carbon fiber is integrated with other materials. While ensuring strength, it achieves extreme lightness - the weight of a single watch is only about 49 grams, and there is no burden for long - term wearing. However, due to the brand positioning and cost constraints, the carbon fiber texture of its watch case is slightly inferior in terms of fineness and gloss, and some users have reported that the edge treatment of the watch case is not round enough.

Garmin's MARQ Carbon Premium series demonstrates the craftsmanship level of a leading brand in the industry. The bezel is stacked with 130 layers of carbon fiber, and the side case is also made of carbon fiber material. The surface texture is delicate and has a sense of hierarchy. Matched with the Grade - 5 titanium alloy back case, the overall texture is high - end. Its carbon fiber material has passed strict impact - resistance and high - temperature - resistance tests, and can still maintain stable performance in extreme environments.
