An incredible watch - more than just a dive computer.

I originally had been lookimg at this as a possible replacement for my Shearwater Peregrine dive computer since it has the ability to use air integration.
It wasn't until I did more research into the Descent that I realized this is a fully featured sport watch that not only can act as a dive computer, but also integrates with ballistic devices like a Kestrel and the Garmin chronograph for long range shooting.
Add in the other features, maps for both diving and hiking, biometric data for workouts, and sleep tracking that I realized this is more than just a replacement for my Shearwater.
I bought another for my wife after realizing how amazing this device is.
If you are ok with having a unitasker for a dive computer this might not be what you need - it is after all about three times the cost of a Peregrine.
Myself? I try to limit unitaskers to cut down on extra gear. This was a fantastic purchase.

Great Overall Watch and a Dive Computer on top of that!

The MK3i is a great smart watch with a great dive computer built in. Easy to read touch screen. Lots of options for exercise and activities. The dive computer was so nice to use under water.
I would recommend this device to anyone that dives and is active.
I keep finding settings that make the watch better for me.
Take my advice and buy the MK3i. you won't be disappointed.

Excellent watch and dive computer

As a dive computer, it provides all the information you need, even for technical diving. The battery lasts as long as Garmin claims. One impressive feature is the dive readiness assessment, which integrates all data from your daily activities to give you a score along with an explanation. I've learned what I can and can't do before diving.

Supreme!!

I loved my Descent Mk2i and love the Mk3i even more. Display improvements are worth the upgrade. The flashlight is not a bad touch and far superior to the white screen "flashlights" many watches include. Only improvement I'd like to see, which could be provided via software upgrade (Garmin, take a hint) would be a sidemount mode, with programmable reminders to switch tanks.
