Garmin does it again
I have quite a few Garmin products: cycling computer, radar, and newest to the quiver: the Descent G2 Dive watch. I am new to diving - and having something reliable for autonomous adventures is very important. The functionality of this watch underwater surpasses expectations and I feel confident knowing that it's a reliable, accurate and easy to use watch when it matters most. It uses the same readiness score from other products (using heart rate and HRV) to provide a dive readiness score that is helpful in decision making. You can fully customize this watch and set it and forget it. I plan on getting a lot of mileage with this dive watch and am grateful to be armed with everything I need to descend and ascend safely.
Ok so far
Still getting used to the G2. Will go on first dive later this month. Meanwhile, I've looked for a way to allow text messages to come through, but no other outside media like Facebook or Emails. No luck so far.
Great watch decent dive computer
So I have only had this for like a week or so. Only used it so far in a pool doing skills refresher. Can't wait to use it shortly on a "teal" dive.
Great first Dive Computer / Watch
This is the first dive computer I have ever had. It covers most of the basics that you want in a dive computer for the price.
