Great all around watch and Awesome Dive watch
on February 11, 2024
Posted by: Chris “Brick” Bricking
I reviewed alot of diving devices and watches before I bought my MK3i-51. I own a forerunner 245 and already knew some of the functions. The MK3I is a great watch with all the functions it has and apps . I’m looking foward to using it with my bicycle Garmin products and the golf app. Onto the water, I bought this for the transponder and the big 51mm face to use for scuba diving, I’m new to the sport but know that when you spend a little more you won’t regret spending the money when you have a reliable integrated watch and transponder. I really like the POOL function that allows me to do some pool dives without it actually recording a Logged dive for logging a dive. The face and easy scrolling is great for the dive and easy to see all. I would recommend this watch to anyone wanting a dive computer that you can also use every day for other things in your life and not just put it back in storage until you go diving again.

I have had this for a month now and I couldn't be happier. Simply amazing product. I have not been able to dive with it yet so I will leave another review in April after a dive trip I have planned but so far I love it.

1st time user of smart watch

This watch does so much, the UI suffers. I bought it for diving (haven't drove yet). I've searched YTube for tutorials on what everything this watch does. Results are disappointing.

I purchased my Garmin Mk3i and have used it for 9 dives so far and it performed very well. Reliable connection to the transmitter and customizable to you. If your looking for a watch that can do it all this is the one

Perfect as a everyday and dive watch.
on February 3, 2024
Posted by: Todd52
Went to my local dive shop looking for a back up to my dive console. After discussing many options decided on a Garmin-Descent MK3i-51. This will actually replace my console freeing up space on my first stage. The more I use this watch the more I like it. The many features, programs, are perfect for everyday usage including all of the functions and more of my former dive console. A must have if your a serious recreational diver.

LOVE the MK3i. Worthy successor to MK2i!
on January 27, 2024

Love the color screen and that it is touch screen, killer battery life and does absolutely everything you could possibly want. The flashlight is genius and surprisingly bright.
Full confidence when diving and its level of conservatism.

My 3rd and best Garmin Descent the Mk3i
on January 18, 2024
Posted by: PP21
Between my first Garmin Descent and the Mk2i if have 637 dives; an excellent dive computer love the compass function and the air integration. So far I am very impress with my new Mk3i; I Had both T1 and T2 transmitters successfully program. Daily morning assessment is also a welcome addition, looking forward to fully take advantage of this function. The dive app dive sites maps have improved greatly on local dive sites identification.
