Review on 🌊 Garmin Descent Mk2i: Advanced Dive Computer & Multisport Smartwatch Titanium Edition by Simo Ramsey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

All-in-one dive/sports watch with a subpar heart rate monitor that puts the $99 Fitbit to shame.

I've only had it for about a week. A fantastic, feature-rich dive and sports watch with a sub-par heart rate monitor that puts the $99 Fitbit to shame. If you get this and aren't interested in heart rate monitoring/PulseOx, you're going to love this a lot. Used it on 3 dives and also 2 rounds of golf (because the Garmin Golf is built in). Copes fantastically with both of these activities. However, if you want an all-in-one device that can also track your heart rate accurately, this isn't the device. Sitting, walking during normal activities. The MK2I is on average 10 beats slower than the Fitbit Charge 3 and 4 and my Polar H10. chest strap. When training/jogging hard the difference becomes clear, usually the MK2I has trouble detecting the heart rate once I start sweating a little, around 138, the heart rate on the watch drops to around 116 while all my other devices are tracking is just as accurate as a chest strap.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not happy with everything
