Great FAILURE!!,
on January 9, 2025
Posted by: Solares
I dive this one once, connected with the app, updated software, shut off. Five days later I tried to turn on and nothing happened. Never turn on. I follow instructions to soft reset, noting, hard reset and nothing so far. I send you a email to you and NO ANSWER.
Beyond disappointment right now.

Great upgrade from my MK1
on December 28, 2024
Posted by: JeffE
My MK1 had service required pop up on the screen. I was very disappointed when my local dive shop (Stuart Scuba) told me that Garmin MK1was no longer serviced or repaired. Loving the MK1 so much and not happy about the news I contacted Garmin. Garmin offered a FANTASTIC fair price credit for the exchange of my MK1 for the MK3. Now that I have the Mk3 I highly recommend it if you want a fantastic watch/dive computer. LOVE all of the upgrades especially the flashlight function and the underwater communication feature.

An incredible watch - more than just a dive computer.

I originally had been lookimg at this as a possible replacement for my Shearwater Peregrine dive computer since it has the ability to use air integration.
It wasn't until I did more research into the Descent that I realized this is a fully featured sport watch that not only can act as a dive computer, but also integrates with ballistic devices like a Kestrel and the Garmin chronograph for long range shooting.
Add in the other features, maps for both diving and hiking, biometric data for workouts, and sleep tracking that I realized this is more than just a replacement for my Shearwater.
I bought another for my wife after realizing how amazing this device is.
If you are ok with having a unitasker for a dive computer this might not be what you need - it is after all about three times the cost of a Peregrine.
Myself? I try to limit unitaskers to cut down on extra gear. This was a fantastic purchase.

Great Overall Watch and a Dive Computer on top of that!

The MK3i is a great smart watch with a great dive computer built in. Easy to read touch screen. Lots of options for exercise and activities. The dive computer was so nice to use under water.
I would recommend this device to anyone that dives and is active.
I keep finding settings that make the watch better for me.
Take my advice and buy the MK3i. you won't be disappointed.

Excellent watch and dive computer

As a dive computer, it provides all the information you need, even for technical diving. The battery lasts as long as Garmin claims. One impressive feature is the dive readiness assessment, which integrates all data from your daily activities to give you a score along with an explanation. I've learned what I can and can't do before diving.
