Garmin® Descent™ G2, Watch-Style Dive Computer, Bright AMOLED Display, Multiple Dive Modes, Health and Wellness Features, Paloma with Shell Pink Band

I bought this Garmin to upgrade from my Omer Mystral which I have been using for the past 2 years for spearfishing and freediving. I actually started spearfishing and wanted to improve my depth and apnea time with Freediving and I’m now more in love with Freediving and became a PADI Master Freediver. In Freediving, as I have passed the 40 meter (130ft) depth, I realized I needed to start looking at my metrics more closely aiming now at reaching 60 meters (197ft). This watch allows me to analyze my pace going up and down, my heart rate to understand relaxation, and many more things, not to to mention the alarms and so on that allow me to have a sense of where I’m in terms of depth when I’m going down to the plate, as well as the many static and dynamic training modes that are great as well to improve in the sport. This does not fall short when using it for Spearfishing, knowing your surface time and having alarms to let you know when you are ready, is key, but also being able to look at my heart rate to understand when it is calm and ready, is key! Also, the very visible amoled screen was very easy to read underwater where light and colors ar much more different that in the surface. On the other side, I’ve never owned a smartwatch and I have also gotten obsessed at understanding several health stats, sleep, stress, etc. Also the training and the dive readiness metrics, are awesome as they allow you to understand how your rest influences your performance, and also not become frustrated are your performance when you are aware that it has been influenced by other factors as bad rest or sleep. I love this watch, it is compact compared to the MK3, and delivers pretty much the same. I do not need more than this, it is amazing. The only thing I would improve is battery time, that compared to other Garmin models is not the longest, more so if you are running pulse Ox full time as I am. This said, I mean this in a sense of comparison to other models that last more days, such as the MK3. Not a big deal though, it last 10 days in normal operation and about 7 days running Pulse Ox fulltime, which for me is more than fine. Highly recommend this watch, compact, light and powerful Dive computer.

I was previously an apple junkie! I looove this watch!! Hold an excellent charge!! Actually don’t have to hook up but maybe once per week! I used it diving the first week that I got it and it was accurate and excellent in every way! Percy for tracking drives and keeping a log!

Just received my G2 and so far all good. The software interface is clunky with multiple apps needed to setup and use all the functionality but I'll get used to it I guess. The regular band is small for my wrist and comes to the end of the band so I'll be band shopping soon. Would be nice to include a small and large band (not just an oversized dive band). First dive in 2 days!

Pretty amazing watch the kind of do it all. Will dive in the near future, but very nice customization and the screen is amazing.

I love this watch. I have always had issues with the old watch batteries and so I got automatics. I was undecided about which dive computer to get but I saw this had all the features I was looking for and easy to recharge. From free diving to hookah diving for work I keep track of everything and best of all has an emergency 🚨 contact mode incase your in trouble it will send out a help message to a list of people. Super customizable and tons of cheap options for bands and free apps. Also use data for sleep and motorcycle riding and speed. I also ride motocross. I love the interface and menus are customizable with red mode and green mode for nighttime and automatic sleep mode silent so it won’t wake you up when someone messages you.

First watch I ordered had blue triangle of death. Sent the first one back. Received. Second one works well. Lot of options

Muy chico!!! La interfaz de usuario esta malisimamente diseñada, necitas horas de investigacion para entnder las funcionalidades basicas y te tenes que instalar varias apps en el telefono (enserio gente???). Por todos los medios posibles intentan forzarte a que compres funcionalidades (obviamente que no necesitas)...cada vez te hacen sentir mas que sos una maquina expendedora sin importar que. La verdad, estoy terriblemente decepcionado, obviamente no volveré a invertir en Garmin, ya que no me dan absolutamente nada que otras marcas de menor precio no den...literalmente hablando!!!

Great watch!
