New tech new knowledge
on January 13, 2025
Posted by: Scott R
I bought this before leaving on a dive trip allowing myself virtually no time to figure the thing out. But that being said, it tracked my dives and gave me access to everything I needed to know about them. Now to figure out the rest of the watch. It has 200 pages of manual to read and figure out so I’m a little overwhelmed. YouTube has been a little helpful but mostly have found only reviews. I’ll keep at though.

Mk3 is bug step up

I had the MK2 and while it was great for what it is, the MK3 is much faster, has an amazing screen and adds touch capabilities. It does everything you want in a dive watch while also doubling as everything you want as a smart watch. Pair it with multiple transceivers to get your air info and you dive buddies.

I bought it primarily for a new dive watch but I have discovered it really is great for many of the other sports I do.

Great for everyday wear also

I purchased this dive computer a few weeks ago. It has a ton of features that I have not even touched yet. It is a great size for everyday wear and offers a lot of features that a typical watch or a typical dive computer would not offer. it has a fantastic appearance, and I cannot wait to get it into the water.

Great watch for active outdoors humans

I found the Garmin platform to be less intuitive than my older Apple Watch, but just took a little getting used to. I love the feature that you can track where you've been on the GPS. I also am a huge fan of the touchscreen - it's definitely a necessary upgrade to the watch (imo) as I had an older version of the Forerunner 935 and would always try to make it a touchscreen lol. I love the color combo too - kinda a brassy color with a an off white band is not too flash but much better than just a black watch. Notifications for messages are kind of a pain - you have to allow messages to come across on your phone without any muting for it to show up on your watch. This isn't a this watch specific thing, I think it's a Garmin thing.

Purchased 2 weeks ago, still looking to play with all of the features. Getting to know which button to click to get to certain features is still a work in progress.

Great watch/dive computer!
on September 25, 2024
Posted by: EdMac
I initially bought the Garmin Mk3i 43mm as a backup to my ginormous Mares Genius dive computer. The more I wore my Garmin, the more I liked all its everyday functionality. I ordered the 43mm version because I have smaller wrists; however, I just sent it back and got the 51mm version which doesn’t look too big and I can read the data under water much easier. I’ve received many favorable comments from people who don’t even know it’s a dive watch. Extremely happy with my Garmin!

Excellent

Exactly what I expected from Garmin, another excellent watch. I love the touch screen and the 43mm size comparted to the 52mm is very nice. The 52mm is a great watch but you bang it on everything due to the size. I only wish the battery life on this watch was a little better.
