Garmin Descent Mk2, Watch-Style Dive Computer, Multisport Training/Smart Features, Stainless Steel with Black Band, 010-02132-00

I had purchased this as a backup dive computer for a recent trip after my older computer used as backup finally failed. I quickly moved this to my primary computer because of its attractive watch face and the information it provides. Dove this watch in Cayman Brac and was impressed with the detailed dive log that included the location on a map of where the dive took place. Diving with Nitrox mix was no problem with this watch. Several days into diving our dive day was cancelled due to high winds and small craft warnings. As an avid cyclist, I opted to take one of the resort's complimentary bicycles (the old one-spd coast-brake models) on a ride from one end of the island to the other. Using my phone and my RidewithGPS App, I was able to download a local ride map from the island to my phone and then import it to the Mk2. This saved me a number of wrong turns down deadend roads while giving me a moving map of my ride along with distance and other data. Upon completing the ride, I had again a record of that ride on my Garmin Connect App, including a map overview of the route and lots of fitness data regarding the ride. I rate the sleep monitor down on this because it's really not practical for wearing during sleep due to the large size and weight of the watch (at least for me). I was so impressed with the performance of this watch, that I ordered a full suite of Garmin products to fully monitor my fitness and exercise data upon my return home. I'll be giving my thoughts on those products when I use them. I have received the first of them today - the Vivosmart 5, which I bought primarily for my indoor cycle trainer and for sleep monitoring because it is lightweight and sleek. I highly recommend this diving computer and multi-fitness watch.

Used this on a number of casual (air, 25m max) dives and so far I am impressed. It's a good dive computer with better connectivity and export features than some of the Mares devices I had used before. Having a GPS on the dive computer is nice for entry/exit points and the APNEA functionality work well. Display is easy to read at the surface and in the water. It's also a good smart watch. I am/was mostly an Apple Watch user and Garmin's product is impressive. Flexibility of custom watch faces is far ahead of Apple, some tracking features are more precise and most alerts from an iPhone show up fine. Garming's apps are a bit of a mess (you need 3 separate ones) but they are functional. Watch UI for configuring the watch and the apps is terrible and the logic of what the different buttons do is hard to fathom, but you don't need it that much. Battery life is amazing and for me runs at about 2 weeks. Overall, this is a great dive/smart watch hybrid. For a normal day at work, I'll continue to use the apple watch but for outdoor activities and vacation this is now my main watch.

Very good quality. Everything very good.

Large size face, great to wear for working out and diving. A great all around watch/fitness tracker/dive computer! I highly recommend it.

I love the watch. I’m not getting the advertised battery life but it is still way longer than my old Apple Watch. I have only used it on two dives so far but the watch worked great and the dive app has some nice features.

Superb purchase, zero complains.

Love that Garmin has an excellent dive watch that is not too big and can be used for an all around fitness//sports tracking and everyday watch. Awesome product.

Fantastic Dive computer. Features is great and you will really enjoying this device.
