Garmin Descent Mk2i, Watch-Style Dive Computer with Air Integration, Multisport Training/Smart Features, Titanium with Black Band

I have owned 2 garmins Mk 1 and Mk 2 I have really enjoyed both of them, and only got rid of the MK 1 to upgrade to the MK2 which offered a smaller, more feminine design- unfortunately this came with the price of a little decreased battery life, but still a great watch- I probably wouldn’t have upgraded, but my Apple Watch was broken and I was wearing my MK 1 everyday as a smart watch and as a petit woman it looked a little funny. I digress The MK 2 offers air integration, if you’re into that kinda thing- I’m an old school SPG girl myself. Yes the gps doesn’t work underwater ie you can’t swim randomly in one direction and Siri won’t turn on directions and tell you how to get back 🤪but, it drops a GPS marker with EXACT coordinates of your entry and exit points (coordinates go all the way to like the 8th decimal place). And there are several screens once the computer enters “dive mode” one of which is a very detailed compus. Prior to my first MK1 I had a very basic scuba pro dive computer. Every time I wanted to change my nitrox percentage, or alter any dive perameters, it was hard to use and not intuitive. The garmin is easy to use and very intuitive. I can also screenshot some photos of the app and show you how the GPS coordinates pull up- but you can also access them on the computer itself. It’s got lots of other great features- HR, RR, SPO2 analysis and calculates an exact % of N2 and CNS 02 toxicity in blood. It can also be used with other sports including kayaking, paddle boarding, running, or anything you wanna use it for. You can also pay extra to get color weather radar and lots of other apps. Garmin also offers the opportunity to set up emergency contacts who can access your latest gps info in case of emergency. (Yeah if you didn’t make it back to the surface you wouldn’t have a second mark) but if you are lost and your computer is still working on the surface you can manually drop GPS pins at any time and I’m assuming your emergency contact would be able to see them. It has lots of great features. Just takes playing around with it and getting to know your computer. I’ve done about 100 dives with Garmin now and I’m never going back! I need to get garmin to sponser me lol. I’m a huge believer in their product.

I had purchased this as a backup dive computer for a recent trip after my older computer used as backup finally failed. I quickly moved this to my primary computer because of its attractive watch face and the information it provides. Dove this watch in Cayman Brac and was impressed with the detailed dive log that included the location on a map of where the dive took place. Diving with Nitrox mix was no problem with this watch. Several days into diving our dive day was cancelled due to high winds and small craft warnings. As an avid cyclist, I opted to take one of the resort's complimentary bicycles (the old one-spd coast-brake models) on a ride from one end of the island to the other. Using my phone and my RidewithGPS App, I was able to download a local ride map from the island to my phone and then import it to the Mk2. This saved me a number of wrong turns down deadend roads while giving me a moving map of my ride along with distance and other data. Upon completing the ride, I had again a record of that ride on my Garmin Connect App, including a map overview of the route and lots of fitness data regarding the ride. I rate the sleep monitor down on this because it's really not practical for wearing during sleep due to the large size and weight of the watch (at least for me). I was so impressed with the performance of this watch, that I ordered a full suite of Garmin products to fully monitor my fitness and exercise data upon my return home. I'll be giving my thoughts on those products when I use them. I have received the first of them today - the Vivosmart 5, which I bought primarily for my indoor cycle trainer and for sleep monitoring because it is lightweight and sleek. I highly recommend this diving computer and multi-fitness watch.

Used this on a number of casual (air, 25m max) dives and so far I am impressed. It's a good dive computer with better connectivity and export features than some of the Mares devices I had used before. Having a GPS on the dive computer is nice for entry/exit points and the APNEA functionality work well. Display is easy to read at the surface and in the water. It's also a good smart watch. I am/was mostly an Apple Watch user and Garmin's product is impressive. Flexibility of custom watch faces is far ahead of Apple, some tracking features are more precise and most alerts from an iPhone show up fine. Garming's apps are a bit of a mess (you need 3 separate ones) but they are functional. Watch UI for configuring the watch and the apps is terrible and the logic of what the different buttons do is hard to fathom, but you don't need it that much. Battery life is amazing and for me runs at about 2 weeks. Overall, this is a great dive/smart watch hybrid. For a normal day at work, I'll continue to use the apple watch but for outdoor activities and vacation this is now my main watch.

Bought this watch due my Apple Watch decided to stop running. Was between this watch and the AW ultra but finally decided to go with the MK2S due I wanted my watch to track my dives without the need of additional subscription fees to diving apps. This is my second Garmin device but the first at this higher cost. I have to say that it looks great on wrist, the band it comes with is good, it feels firm enough for diving and even surfing. I got two more bands from Garmin, a silicon blue one and the Velcro one and they work great, specially the Velcro is super confortable. Another big reason to go Garmin was the battery life, 7 days give or take for the MK2S, that’s just insane battery coming from an AW but I know there are other models with more battery life if that rocks your boat. Diving works great, visibility could be better but it does the job pretty well. It’s the only dive computer that I would be willing to use daily as my only watch. Excellent product

Great watch. Love the price for what was recently $1500 now under $700

Great smaller size computer. Few dives now and still in great shape. Would be nicer on a titanium bracelet which they dont do by the time i got it.

Soy instructor de buceo, he tenido la oportunidad de probar y ver diferentes tipos de ordenadores de buceo, considero que está en el top 5 de mejores ordenadores, sin embargo, es la mejor opción al mezclar ordenador de buceo y smartwatch. Adquirí el MK2s por que soy una persona de complexión delgada, este equipo es perfecto en la proporción con mi muñeca pero por ser de menor dimenciones reduce la batería, en comparación con el MK2i que le dura alrededor de 21 días, a este MK2s le dura máximo 14 días. A mi me dura 7 días exactos por que buceo entre 10 y 16 veces a la semana, hago actividades como correr, nadar y lo tengo como smartwatch de uso diario

I bought this watch as I am developing the mid life problem that is short-sightedness and could no longer read the dial of my dive watch. up to now I had 3 watches - a day watch, Dive computer and a fitness tracker for sport. When I saw this I took the plunge to try to combine all 3. I am very impressed. After purchase it arrived quickly and well packaged. Initially I was disapointed withthe brightness of the display but once you realise it is an LCD rather than OLED and is not effected by sunlight then you don't worry - I have never had a problem reading the face ion all lighting conditions even in 10m murky water. It transpired it was a US import despite being sold direct from Amazon and came with the americain maps installed - Amazon Customer Services refunded the £50 required to download the European maps from Garmin. As a dive watch - I am afraid I can not report on the decompression or dive planning as I am a freediver but for this it is great and I particularly like the haptic feedback alarm. For other sports it has a pulse oxymiter (does not work through a wetsuit!) and a wrist based HRM built in however I found this to be wildly inaccurate when running - it seems to pick up on cadence rather than HR if doing a hard run. I have pared it with a Garmin Tri HRM which sorts out that problem - I have not yet tried this when diving but it says it will record your stats & transmit them to the watch when out of the water. Overall I am delighted with the watch on all fronts, it meets all my needs and excedes them. Yes it is pricy, but it has replaced 2 watches and a dive computer - oh & I forgot the 28day rechargable battery life (depending on activity). I will be taking it Skiing in January and it can download all the world's ski resort maps! We wil see how good that is.
