Great All Around Wearable
on January 13, 2024
Posted by: kstock
I recently purchased the Garmin Descent™ Mk3i dive watch and fitness tracker, and I must say it impressed me on multiple fronts. Designed for divers and fitness enthusiasts alike, this device seamlessly combines functionality and style.
I have not yet used any of the dive functionality, only every day wearing including fitness and health tracking. So far it has excelled in all areas!
It accurately tracks a wide range of activities, from running and cycling to swimming and more. The wrist-based heart rate monitor delivers reliable readings, and the GPS functionality ensures accurate distance tracking during outdoor activities.
I love the bright and colorful OLED display and the new watch faces with upgraded complications. The battery life is impressive lasting much longer than its predecessors.
The integration with Garmin Connect adds another layer of functionality, providing in-depth insights into your fitness, health, and dive data. The user-friendly app makes it easy to set goals, track progress, and even connect with a community of like-minded individuals.
I am looking forward to using it for diving which for me is a huge bonus. I have a watch that I can wear every day, that is functional in every activity that I do, and looks great!

Amazing Product!

I have upgraded from the Mk1 to the Mk2I to the Mk3I. Garmin has done a great job of taking their amazing fitness watches and breaking into the dive market. The unit is pretty as a modern watch, and its functionality is incredible. It is very much worth the purchase.

Bright!! Loving it so far
on January 10, 2024
Posted by: Randycapped1
I’m coming back to Garmin because the MK3i is now Amoled, I had the mk2i but sold it because I just couldn’t see it underwater, glad they switched to Amoled, live the touchscreen and All the features, only complaint is I can’t make my own pics into watch faces, the “face it” thing always says “something went wrong try again later” fix it please and I’ll give you 5 stars

Fantastic dive watch and great smart watch too
on January 9, 2024
Posted by: Carter
I bought mine about 3 weeks ago and I have been learning the ins and outs of it so far. I spearfish and so far for that it has been very useful. The body battery feature is probably one of my favorites as it accurately depicts how tired/awake you will be through the day. Overall the watch has a lot of useful features that will take some time to learn.

Love this watch but I have one minor gripe
on January 3, 2024
Posted by: DMsea
I love the Descent I have had the MK1, MK2 and now the MK3. Each version has had significant upgrades and upgrading has been worth it. I use it for Freediving, SCUBA, and cycling primarily but also to track my other fitness modalities. The one feature that has NOT worked for me is sleep tracking. No matter how many articles I read about troubleshooting I just can’t get any data related to my sleep. I’m really pretty bummed about that but everything else from appearance AP integration and durability have been greater.

wish that you could take your daily blood levels
on December 28, 2023
Posted by: Ericcfp
Watch seems to be an amazing tool. Only wish that that face would be daily blood sugar levels as well as stay in the face mode which would allow me to maintain the same large lit face, so as I am biking I’d be able to see exactly what’s happening as I am biking on the road. It seems to fade to a different mode when interacting using my RTL515

Best watch I ever owned
on December 19, 2023
Posted by: Rafly
I've owned several Garmin watches, starting with the first vivoactive, then various Fenix models, the Epix gen 2 and now the MK3i. As a sports enthusiast who enjoys a wide range of activities, including scuba diving and skydiving, this watch truly has everything I need.
