Thank you for your review and experience with the Descent Mk3i. We would like to discuss this further over email. If you would please email us at product.support@garmin.com.
I had an Epix for a few years and loved it. Also a diver so had a separate lower level dive computer to take on trips. Super excited to have a great dive computer in the same package of an otherwise amazing Garmin watch.
Upgraded from the Mk2i, which I felt was a solid performing dive/adventure watch. The Mk3i takes it to another level, most notably the AMOLED display. Several dives on this watch have proven it to be as solid, if not slightly more so, as the Mk2i.
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.
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.
