First Smart-Watch
on October 6, 2025
Posted by: Beowulf-Murderface
I got the 51mm, and it is a chonk (in a good way). The titanium band is very nice, but even adjusted to smallest setting, is a touch loose for me (8” wrists), so consider that. I’ve done about 8 dives in murky water, but only down about 30 feet. The sceen is easy to read, and all the features seem very useful, even for a noob like me. It does a strange thing where it’ll go into “Red-Shift” mode rather randomly. And…..the flashlight is very handy! I use that all the time. Not cheap, but I have no regrets.

I have had all previous versions of the Descent MK and I have loved them! So was super keen to grab the MK3i! Super keen to take it for a spin off Straddie and also do the Noosa Tri in 2 weeks!
Husband also gets a new computer in grabbing my MK2i now… lucky man

Best sports watch for divers ever!
on October 27, 2025

I bought this over a months ago and I enjoy ever single day! So many things you can use it for besides diving, especially if you work out or doing anything active. The charge on the battery is insane it lasts forever. I have a teric and a perdix which are great dive computers but that’s all they are. I use this garmin for biking, swimming , working out and everything I try to do. Totally love it.

Couldn’t live without my MK3i
on October 30, 2025
Posted by: Lostwon
I only have great things to say about my MK3i. The watch and Garmin ecosystem have fundamentally awoke my fitness and health awareness. I appreciate the direction we are heading with wearable tech. One thing that I can attest to without any doubt is the absolute quality of the glass. I beat this watch up daily and have yet to scratch or crack the glass. The raised bezel does its job exceptionally well.

Best battery life I've ever had on a smartwatch!!!
on October 31, 2025
Posted by: TheOceanAstronaut
This thing just goes and goes! 25 days of battery life on a full charge. Gone are those days where I used to have to take off my watch every 3 to 4 days to charge it up. The greatest thing is it actually is a smartwatch and not just a dive computer. It shows messages can pay by tap, and a whole host of workout and physical condition information. Government is the best company! Now they just need to make a quality smartphone!

Great watch
on November 7, 2025
Posted by: flanagan4dr
I purchased this watch as a dive watch, adventure race watch, and a running/open water swimming watch. I have been very impressed with the watch after a month of use. It is easy to see underwater and can be customized in so many different ways to display what you want to see underwater. Battery life is awesome! I am very happy with this watch, and still learning more everyday on what this thing can do.
