I have yet to dive with this watch but it was incredibly easy to set up. The battery lasts for a full 25 days however I charge it about every 10 days. Looks great and I actually like wearing it constantly.
I’m a scuba instructor and also relatively active and the versatility in this watch is super convenient. The interface is also customizable so can adjust as you like. I can’t read analog clocks so the digital option with my heartbeat is sick. I have the titanium band so I had to take a couple digits off because I have tiny wrists but it’s super cozy and can’t even feel it there sometimes. Would buy for my kids if I had any, and would teach them Muay Thai so no one would steal it from them because this thing is cool
The watch is super comfortable, fits pretty nicely, and is easy to put on and off. It doesn’t feel too heavy for the volume. I use it to record my runs, my hikes, and got it to go scuba diving with but haven’t done that yet. The heart rate monitor is pretty good, on par with most others. I got the hrm200 from garmin and it pairs nicely with it. The battery life is phenomenal especially coming from an Apple Watch. It’s easy to forget where the charger even is. (15-20 days easily, even with daily 1h+ activity recording) I have been enjoying their concept of body battery, it has brought some awareness to the need for rest and recover properly to me!

Amazing dive computer

My wife surprised me with this computer. I love the features. I use it for running, strength training, and diving. When diving everything is easy to use and I really like the messaging feature with sub wave. Couldn’t be more happy with purchase.
I purchased the Garmin Decent MK3I based solely on its ability to monitor my dive buddy's depth and tank pressure at up to 10 meters. I felt the other features were the same or comparable to other brands. This dive computer is super eazy to use yet capable of serving the requirements of the most advanced tech diver. I will never find Descent inadequate but the great folks at Garmin will, I'm sure will have me wanting the next iteration. Features I was not looking for or interested in are winning me over. If you are looking for a dive computer don't make your choice with out a close look at Garmin Descent.
