Keeps Getting Better!
on April 5, 2024
Posted by: Maverick1174
I started out years ago to buy a smart waterproof smartwatch. No one had a watch that had sustained battery power or reserves. Settled on the fenix series. It was great, but lacking in a few features I would like to have. Then the MK series came out - wow, excellent replacement for my fenix. The MK 2i was my travel/outdoors and health buddy. Always wished for an amoled display that the iWatches had but I was not a 1 day battery life. Then the MK 3i was unveiled - with all my hopes and dreams in a computer dive/smartwatch. I am in heaven. Garmin is always on the cutting edge of delivering what we are looking for. An excellent addition to the MK series. Way to go!!!!

Amazing Watch
on March 22, 2024
Posted by: JeepTX
I LOVE this watch. Have had a Fenix 5 for many years, but as I do like to dive, have been waiting for the new version of the dive watch to upgrade. This thing is a beast! All the amazing features of the Fenix/Epix series I've been wanting in an upgrade, but add on completely insane diving capability as well. Only 7 dives so far with the new watch and T2 transmitter, but works flawless! So glad I waited for this one!

four dives in, replacing a standalone computer. this is a great dive watch; extremely intuitive to use underwater. I also use all of the other running and cycling features and they operate extremely well, as expected from Garmin.

Great BUT....

Cons
1 My PSI is just as important as my depth. The PSI font size is HORRIBLE. Large font is just bold basically. I do not wear or need glasses either. The person that designed the PSI font size and PSI display location only used this in a pool or the Carribian Islands. Never in limited/low visibility waters.
2 Propriatary charging cable works great but super inconvenient. How about wireless charging its 2024.
3 The Tank transceivers noise is like a dripping faucet in the middle of the night.
PROS
The person that engineered the battery life should get a raise.

Great watch and features
on March 7, 2024
Posted by: JohnDLan
This is an excellent watch and well worth the investment. The only thing I wish it had was a speaker/microphone so I could accept and make calls. However, I can understand why it doesn’t.
