I will keep it for life I am not a diver I was extremely tired of replacing my watch due to water damage I qm a land surveyor in texas I use the sensors to keep myself from running into stuff since I survived a stroke
It also keeps track of health and my location and emails my wife if I fall
Hope garmin will add blood pressure monitoring and ekg monitoring to it
Cause of the watch I am back to work 60+ hours a week I am 66 years old
I bought this about February and have been using it religiously especially for diving it was bought to replace my SUNYO Steel and Apple Watch. For the most part I have been pleased however it is very annoying that the main button is so much larger than the other buttons causing it to go into dive mode randomly throughout the day. Other customers have complained about the same thing. I have brought it up to the rep a couple of times it was said change button settings or lock em out temporarily however that seems counter intuitive for wearing this beautiful computer all day just to have to keep unlocking because the one button is so much larger than the others
Just got done using it to dive for 2 weeks in St Lucia and it performed very well. You have to pay attention to start the dive and make sure the gps is on before going in and make sure your arm is out of the water to end,that way it will record you entering and exiting points. It will record your heartbeat if it is touching your skin vs over a wetsuit. Also it’s easier to read on the inside of your wrist
I bought this smartwatch a couple of weeks ago and have tried it out while golfing, scuba diving, and mountain biking. I love everything about it! The design looks great, and the screen is super bright.
I lost the Mk2i earlier this year off the coast of Cozumel Mx. while diving. Now I have the Mk3i which is a big game changer. I can track my workouts, GPS mapping and tons of other awesome things. Changing the clock faces is really nice. It like having a new watch with every face change. The colors are so vibrante with the AMOLED screen. I have the T2 just need to go back to Cozumel MX try it out and look for my other watch. I am very happy with this watch. I also bought some different watch bands that make this watch really nice looking. It is a very good purchase for me.
