Garmin Descent™ G2, Watch-Style Dive Computer, 46mm, Black

I bought this Garmin to upgrade from my Omer Mystral which I have been using for the past 2 years for spearfishing and freediving. I actually started spearfishing and wanted to improve my depth and apnea time with Freediving and I’m now more in love with Freediving and became a PADI Master Freediver. In Freediving, as I have passed the 40 meter (130ft) depth, I realized I needed to start looking at my metrics more closely aiming now at reaching 60 meters (197ft). This watch allows me to analyze my pace going up and down, my heart rate to understand relaxation, and many more things, not to to mention the alarms and so on that allow me to have a sense of where I’m in terms of depth when I’m going down to the plate, as well as the many static and dynamic training modes that are great as well to improve in the sport. This does not fall short when using it for Spearfishing, knowing your surface time and having alarms to let you know when you are ready, is key, but also being able to look at my heart rate to understand when it is calm and ready, is key! Also, the very visible amoled screen was very easy to read underwater where light and colors ar much more different that in the surface. On the other side, I’ve never owned a smartwatch and I have also gotten obsessed at understanding several health stats, sleep, stress, etc. Also the training and the dive readiness metrics, are awesome as they allow you to understand how your rest influences your performance, and also not become frustrated are your performance when you are aware that it has been influenced by other factors as bad rest or sleep. I love this watch, it is compact compared to the MK3, and delivers pretty much the same. I do not need more than this, it is amazing. The only thing I would improve is battery time, that compared to other Garmin models is not the longest, more so if you are running pulse Ox full time as I am. This said, I mean this in a sense of comparison to other models that last more days, such as the MK3. Not a big deal though, it last 10 days in normal operation and about 7 days running Pulse Ox fulltime, which for me is more than fine. Highly recommend this watch, compact, light and powerful Dive computer.

I love this watch. I have always had issues with the old watch batteries and so I got automatics. I was undecided about which dive computer to get but I saw this had all the features I was looking for and easy to recharge. From free diving to hookah diving for work I keep track of everything and best of all has an emergency 🚨 contact mode incase your in trouble it will send out a help message to a list of people. Super customizable and tons of cheap options for bands and free apps. Also use data for sleep and motorcycle riding and speed. I also ride motocross. I love the interface and menus are customizable with red mode and green mode for nighttime and automatic sleep mode silent so it won’t wake you up when someone messages you.

So far its been perfect for my active lifestyle. Running, lifting weights and freediving. Sleeping with the watch is comfortable. I don't agree with others when it comes to the screen size. The screen is fine and equal size to my Samsung smart watch. I can ready everything just fine. Battery is great

Always owned Garmin watches. Lots of cool features and the battery lasts forever.

Perfect as a dive computer with garmins top notch tech, bright screen easy on eyes and to see with sharp crispness. Perfect size for a small wrist,

I recently switched to the Garmin Descent G2 after my Samsung Galaxy broke, and I am so glad I decided to try a different brand. The color on this model (Paloma with the Shell Pink band) is absolutely beautiful and looks even better in person than in the photos. Since I’ve started wearing it, I’ve been blown away by the amount of options there are to play with. I primarily use it to track my sleep, daily fitness, sports and the data it provides is much more detailed than what I was getting before. The AMOLED display is bright and very easy to read in different lighting. The companion app is also a huge plus. it’s very intuitive and easy to navigate. I especially love that there are tons of free watch faces available to download, so I can change up the look whenever I want. One thing to note for others that since I have very SMALL wrists, and this watch is a bit on the larger side. However, the features and the overall look are so good that I’ve easily overcome the size difference. It’s worth it! I got a great deal on this and can’t wait to finally take it scuba diving to test out the dive modes. Overall, it's a solid 5-star purchase.

Great watch, pretty good as my backup dive computer as well. Would not recommend it as a primary dive computer.

First watch I ordered had blue triangle of death. Sent the first one back. Received. Second one works well. Lot of options

Best computer for it's price. Not that amazing as a smart watch but really a grrat diving computer.

I bought them on sale. They are wonderful watches. They have everything needed for scuba diving and freediving, apnea, plus a compass. Lots of functions all in one. Satisfied 100 %

Genau was man von Garmin erwartet, die perfekte Uhr für Hobbysportler die auch hin und wieder tauchen gehen!

A parere mio questto smartwatch è perfetto per qualunque subacqueo, dal principiante al profesionista. Ha ogni tipo di immersioni possibile con un ottima gestione dei gas. Utilizza l'algoritmo buhlmann zhl-16c con gradient factor che offre la massima personalizzazione del profilo di immersioni. Oltre alle immersioni ha praticamente qualsiasi sport. Ogni mattina ti propone un allenamento in vari fattori che tiene in considerazione. Lo schermo da 1,2 pollici pensavo fosse piccolo invece mi sono dovuto ricredere, anche se può sembrare piccolo si riesce a leggere perfettamente e anche al sole con i riflessi si riesce comunque a leggere benissimo. La batteria penso sia il suo punto forte, con una ricarica e facendo due allenamenti a settimana mi dura praticamente una settimana intera (dipende certe volte un po' di più altre un po' meno) ma comunque non devo ricordarmi di caricarlo ogni sera.

Supero todas mis expectativas, venia de galaxy y me cambie porque cambie el telefono, mide perfecto mis inmersiones de buceo automaticamente, en sesiones de pesas, mis rutas de ciclismo, sueño , cuando este deje de funcionar ire por el modelo mas alto ... no se como vivi tantos años sin esto jajajajaja
