Garmin Descent Mk2i, Watch-style Dive Computer with Air Integration, Multisport Training/Smart Features, Titanium with Black Band

I bought this watch as I am developing the mid life problem that is short-sightedness and could no longer read the dial of my dive watch. up to now I had 3 watches - a day watch, Dive computer and a fitness tracker for sport. When I saw this I took the plunge to try to combine all 3. I am very impressed. After purchase it arrived quickly and well packaged. Initially I was disapointed withthe brightness of the display but once you realise it is an LCD rather than OLED and is not effected by sunlight then you don't worry - I have never had a problem reading the face ion all lighting conditions even in 10m murky water. It transpired it was a US import despite being sold direct from Amazon and came with the americain maps installed - Amazon Customer Services refunded the £50 required to download the European maps from Garmin. As a dive watch - I am afraid I can not report on the decompression or dive planning as I am a freediver but for this it is great and I particularly like the haptic feedback alarm. For other sports it has a pulse oxymiter (does not work through a wetsuit!) and a wrist based HRM built in however I found this to be wildly inaccurate when running - it seems to pick up on cadence rather than HR if doing a hard run. I have pared it with a Garmin Tri HRM which sorts out that problem - I have not yet tried this when diving but it says it will record your stats & transmit them to the watch when out of the water. Overall I am delighted with the watch on all fronts, it meets all my needs and excedes them. Yes it is pricy, but it has replaced 2 watches and a dive computer - oh & I forgot the 28day rechargable battery life (depending on activity). I will be taking it Skiing in January and it can download all the world's ski resort maps! We wil see how good that is.

Great watch. Love the price for what was recently $1500 now under $700

Todas las funciones de una computadora de buceo más las de un Smart Watch

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.

Watch is great the only issue was no charger in the box! I had to order one and wait a few days before I could use it!
