GarminGarmin Descent™ G1, Rugged Dive Computer, Multiple Dive Modes, Activity Tracking, Slate Gray

My husband loves his watch. He wears it everyday. Uses it for free diving as well.

I took G1 on its first dive end of July 2024. It was everything I expected and more. Will jump into dive mode on its own as soon as you start to descend, but if you place it in dive mode before you jump in, the GPS will track your first dive (tracks the other dives automatically).Really happy with this watch. Tracks my sleep, my steps, my other activities.Cons: no color screen, the upper buttons can sometimes be activated by your bent wrist, but there is a lock feature. I REALLY do not love the Garmin app.I purchased an off-brand strap for comfort and screen protector for safety (I've seen some shop computers!!)If you're looking for a good priced computer, I'd recommend the G1. Also, don't waste your extra $$ on the solar version.

I'm going to the gym 3-4 times a week, pool swimming once a week, and occasionally do some recreational diving and hiking.The great thing a find about this watch is that it supports all of my activities in a great way, and they do not feel like an after thought!Day to day:It can track jogging and running in a pretty accurate way. It also contains different running plans that you can follow that i find refreshing. When weight lifting, it tracks the reps and can even guess what exercise is being preformed (this on is about 70% accurate). During hiking it can track your position using GPS, and show you some sort of map (Doesn't have any details beside a line that shows you your own rout) which i find great. The display for everything is good and informative, and it can be customized to your liking in most cases.The app integration is great, and it shows all the data you would probably expect from a high tier smartwatch these days including sleep tracking, calories counter, steps counter, HR analysis etc (You can also view most of this stuff on the watch itself).Recreational diving:This little guy is great, and the only real downside i can find is the lack of Air integration but due to the price, i guess its understandable.Had 13 dives with this guys so far, and so far so good. The screen is informative and on point. It has built in features like a compass, temperature, TTS, Customable warnings (Max depth etc), Safety stop auto timer, Entry and exist points coordination etc.Now this guy is small. Its size is of a normal casio watch, and i know some divers have issue with that but for me it works great. Had no issue viewing all the info even at 25 meters depth.The diving part has a specific app of its own and its fine. Nothing special bout it. I just wish it had a way of integrating easly with SSI & PADI apps, since i track all of my dives there (SSI in may case), and like transporting dives from one app to the other would make my life a bit easier =)

Was initially iffy to buy from Amazon but the product was an original and in mint condition. Works great.

Works well and records everything for my dive log except air consumption and visibility

Love my Garmin decent g1. When I first found this product I thought it was too good to be true but in reality everything on it works great. Everything is customizable so it’s hard to find a gripe. One thing you should know though is the Surfline application on this watch doesn’t really work. It’s rated only 2.4 stars and others seem to have the same issue. Other than that wonderful device.

This watch does so much - I highly recommend if you want a watch that is durable and useful outside of the water too. It has better features for tracking health/fitness than my apple 8 watch

Nothing to do with Garmin- purchased this watch on Amazon and received a pre-opened box--finger prints on watch face. (Ultimately did not care as long as the watch worked). Long story short, watch would not turn on. Began watch-return process through GPS Tech (the seller) but prior to sending back, decided to call Garmin to ensure there was nothing else I could do to make it work. They informed me that the product was registered to a different customer that must have returned the product to GPS Tech... which was then re-sold to me. Garmin apologized for my experience, offered to pay for return shipping directly to them and sent out a new watch with 2 day shipping, that day. Very well could have been an honest mistake on GPS Tech's part but when you spend $500+ on a watch, you expect it to work when received.
