Garmin - Descent Mk2S

I returned the mk3i 43mm. It’s heavy for daily use and the screen is small for diving. So trying to do everything but it’s not good at anything. I got the descent x50i instead and just use the super light Apple Watch 10 for everything else. The Apple Watch Ultra was also too heavy for me. To me heavy is ok for just a fashion watch. But for a fitness watch I don’t like it.

I have a Garmin MK3i (43mm) that also does everything you will ever need a fitness watch to do. I decided on getting a dive computer that did fitness watch stuff instead of a fitness watch that did dive watch stuff, cause, you know. I really like my MK3i, it is excellent underwater, and I cannot recommend it enough.

How do you like the super large display? I got a 43mm because it was more understated, but I'm still torn on whether or not I want the giant look or just a regular-looking watch.

My wife got me the 43, and I was hesitant because it's smaller, but I \*still\* knock it on shit, so I could only imagine if it were thicker/larger. haha

I bought a new mk2i a year ago and love it. SOOO much better than my Fitbit Charge 6. mk3i really only adds 200m vs 100m diving depth. if you don't need air integration, the non-'i' versions are considerably cheaper, or you could get a Fenix 8 and have all the latest fitness/sports features with amoled and touch screen with diving to 40m (enough for Rec diving)

I had the mk2i and upgraded to the Mk3i. The flashlight is amazing for getting around the house at night or finding something under the couch. I also enjoy the AMOLED display more, and the case is a millimeter thinner which makes a big difference. The mk2i is no slouch though if you are concerned about price. Maybe look into health insurance discounts or student discounts. Both offer 20% off.

After owning several Suunto dive computers, I’d recommend looking elsewhere. They are fine computers but they’re overly conservative and their custom service is atrocious. They also had several hardware issues with some of their console computers that left a bad taste in my mouth. For what you’re looking for, the Garmin Descent product line would be a better match.

Second the Garmin Descent series. I daily-wear it and use it for diving, running, cycling, golf, and health tracking. The air integration is superb. Battery life blows all other smart watches out of the water - up to 24 days between recharges.
