Best everyday dive computer and watch
on June 5, 2024
Posted by: MCT Dive and Work
I’ve had the Apple Watch, the Garmin Descent mk1 and other speciality watches. Got the mk3 prior to a cruise and dive trip and this by far the best everyday device and dive comp combination ever. I’ve also used it for golf and workouts and at work. Very flexible and customizable. The best thing is the battery life. It’s been days since I charged it and still have days left. Took it to Bonaire and it had me ahead of everything on the dive. Best watch I’ve ever had. Ever going to the Apple Watch again.

Love diving and living with my Mk3i
on May 31, 2024
Posted by: Diver John
I previously owned a 51mm Epix Pro Gen 2 sapphire and loved it. I do karate, swimming, walking, and other outdoor activities. I was a previous Apple Watch Ultra user but made the switch and never went back. I got my OW certification and found out the Epix is not dive-certified so I sold it, pretty much for what I paid for it, and got the Mk3i. It's amazing!!! I have the air integration which is nice, the dive maps show me where I enter and exit, and all the underwater stats have replaced a paper log. I am glad I made this purchase and my other watch pretty much paid for half of this one.

Lack of Firections

Upon receiving the watch and looking at the enclosed instruction books, I’m glad we had an electron microscope to read the fine print. I did find many videos of eventually that are YouTube videos that you have to go on the web to get in order to try to understand what the Watch can and can’t do…..!!!! It’s a great watch but again it’s overwhelming to try to figure all of it out upon yourself. I would suggest that Garmin set up three levels of training for the watch with videos. One level is the beginning level. The second level is intermediate and getting around and moving and adding apps and other instructions, and the third level would be advance level, which could be used in depth directions, and analysis of the operates

An amazing dive computer and daily wearable
on May 17, 2024
Posted by: Proto99
I had the original Apple Watch and quickly returned it as I felt it was very half-baked and unnecessary. Wow has a lot changed. I love the Descent Mk3i, I enjoy all the health metrics and usefulness out of the water, but it really shines when diving. I had a Shearwater Perdix around 8 years ago and the Garmin does everything I used the Perdix for and then some. I'm very pleased with the watch and highly recommend it.

Initial Thought, WOW

Bought the 3i as my primary computer and moved my 2i to second computer status. Screen, battery life and light in the 53 mm are fantastic. Won't be able to evaluate the dive computer function fully until June in the South Pacific. Golf and all my other activity functions are still great.

I bought my first mk3i and it stopped working. They were very good in replacing it quickly.
It often will not read my tank pressure then it will. I give it a solid good but not great
