Not what I expected
on December 14, 2023
Posted by: IFADNC
The watch is great in terms of functionality. My biggest disappointment is the"Sapphire" screen. The watches have been out more than 3 years you'd think they'd sell them with screen protectors by now. I've had the watch less than a month and it's already scratched. I have a true sapphire screen phone and I've had it a year and still no scratches. I abuse my phone so it needed to be tough. I expected the watch to be similar but it's definitely not up to par. If only corners weren't cut to save a buck this would be a really good product.

Best Dive Computer Fitness Watch Ever.
on December 16, 2023
Posted by: JBell21
I had a descent MK1 for years and have upgraded to the MK3 this month. I love that it is a powerful amazing dive computer and I wear it to the gym.
As a dive master and technical diver and physical trainer...its perfect. It handles then multiple gases I dive with and provides spot on planning assistance. In addition...it wonderful in the gym.

Love it!

I am a dive instructor and have been diving now for over 15 years. Somehow this is my first garmin experience and I absolutely love this watch. I was an Apple Watch guy for many years but the Decent MK3i has now become my go to dive computer as well as my everyday health and fitness wearable. If you are looking for an excellent dive computer that can also be used as an everyday wearable when you are out of the water, this is the one!

Best watch I ever owned
on December 19, 2023
Posted by: Rafly
I've owned several Garmin watches, starting with the first vivoactive, then various Fenix models, the Epix gen 2 and now the MK3i. As a sports enthusiast who enjoys a wide range of activities, including scuba diving and skydiving, this watch truly has everything I need.

wish that you could take your daily blood levels
on December 28, 2023
Posted by: Ericcfp
Watch seems to be an amazing tool. Only wish that that face would be daily blood sugar levels as well as stay in the face mode which would allow me to maintain the same large lit face, so as I am biking I’d be able to see exactly what’s happening as I am biking on the road. It seems to fade to a different mode when interacting using my RTL515

Love this watch but I have one minor gripe
on January 3, 2024
Posted by: DMsea
I love the Descent I have had the MK1, MK2 and now the MK3. Each version has had significant upgrades and upgrading has been worth it. I use it for Freediving, SCUBA, and cycling primarily but also to track my other fitness modalities. The one feature that has NOT worked for me is sleep tracking. No matter how many articles I read about troubleshooting I just can’t get any data related to my sleep. I’m really pretty bummed about that but everything else from appearance AP integration and durability have been greater.

Fantastic dive watch and great smart watch too
on January 9, 2024
Posted by: Carter
I bought mine about 3 weeks ago and I have been learning the ins and outs of it so far. I spearfish and so far for that it has been very useful. The body battery feature is probably one of my favorites as it accurately depicts how tired/awake you will be through the day. Overall the watch has a lot of useful features that will take some time to learn.

Bright!! Loving it so far
on January 10, 2024
Posted by: Randycapped1
I’m coming back to Garmin because the MK3i is now Amoled, I had the mk2i but sold it because I just couldn’t see it underwater, glad they switched to Amoled, live the touchscreen and All the features, only complaint is I can’t make my own pics into watch faces, the “face it” thing always says “something went wrong try again later” fix it please and I’ll give you 5 stars
