1. 3/5Good dive log, several bugs

   A good app for logging dives automatically from the MK3 watch. Several bugs exist like not being able to add dive sites to a logged dive (search function is broken and doesn’t find sites 60% of the time, despite them being in explore) and logged dives will randomly go missing but the app still increments your dive count as if they exist. Once fixes to these issues come in the experience will be allot better.

2. 5/5Mk1 is great but MK2 is excellent!

   I have been diving ~25 years now. I have tried several dive watch computers. The Descent MK2 is the absolute best! Initially, I purchased the Mk1 when launched. At that time, I was convinced it was superior to any other dive watch available. The only problem with it, however, is that it records dives in pools. So, you’ll have to delete dives after you are in the pool with the Mk1. The Mk2 has an option to turn off recording dives by easily setting to Pool mode. Also, I used the watch in terrible conditions during a PADI rescue certification course this past weekend. Not only was the compass easy to quickly use with just a tap on the watch but also the clarity of the screen was great even with awful viz. The battery dropped to 40% from 100% throughout the day as well. I’m unsure how the battery will handle 3 full dives in a single day (charge). We will see soon. Anyway, I’m now looking forward to buying the transmitter when available. Will probably buy two transmitters so I can monitor my 14yr olds tank for extra safety while he begins learning to dive. In terms of cost, the Mk1 is 1000 new from Garmin. As low as 500 used on eBay. The Mk2 new is 300 more from garmin. The Mk2i that allows use of transmitter is 1500 bucks for a new one. It’s likely you’ll spend north of 500 for an alternative dive watch computers not including a transmitter, btw. One last thing, the garmin watches also offer all the other fitness data as well. The Mk2 also stores music and credit card info so you can make transactions similar to an Apple Watch. I admit it’s on the big side compared to a typical wrist watch but I have gotten used to mine and wear daily. Perfect for running, cycling, etc. Can get food or drink while outside exercising. Just need earbuds to hear music. You can also buy garmin sensors for your bike which the easily links cycling data to your watch and laptop too. I only wish I could link my watch to iFit on the Nordictrak platform. Overall, tons of nice things to say about Garmin dive watches. In fact, I challenge anyone to make a case for a dive watch computer that’s better than the Mk2. If money is the issue then you should be looking at a good used Mk1.

3. 5/5GARMIN DESCENT MK1

   Got the GARMIN DESCENT MK1, Id been using it for the GYM (counts fairly the reps, misses one here and there but I don't mind that much), same on elliptical and treadmill. I have use it on Apnea, Apnea Hunt (only to 20ft) and for Open Circuit Scuba and it shines! Gives you accurate readings is super easy to use, the APP is very friendly. Best way to put it, the product is so good I just replace the strap for a titanium links band and use it for all (boxed my other watches...this thing is an ALL IN ONE TOOL!)

4. 3/5Would give it 5 Stars but…

   Lack of an “offline” mode when syncing to the app seems to be a gap in functionality. Not sure why there’s the assumption that a cellular or wifi signal is always there. It seems that when Garmin is having server issues or you cannot get online the sync doesn’t work. I am missing a dive in my garmin dive log as the watch thinks it downloaded the dive but it’s not in the log anywhere. Also need a Windows & OS x version of the app. It’s a lot easier to add notes and provide more details via a full device like that.

5. 4/5Great app but…

   The Garmin device is amazing. Tracks just about anything & we all know that. The Dive app follows suit and has more info than I truly know what to do with and it’s pretty cool to have accurate dive information right after your dive ( on the watch but also the iPhone) Let’s be honest tho, I don’t want just my garmin dives loaded here . It’s time for the import function to be worked on ( not forcing me to enter 200+dives manually ONE AT TIME) Once the import is done with the basic structure, I can go and add more and more accurate pieces of data. Please mark it with an import tag so we know that was a PRE-Garmin entry…
