Review on Gray Sapphire Garmin Descent Mk1 Dive Computer, Watch-Sized with Surface GPS & Fitness Features, Includes DLC Titanium Band by Sean Ceo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good hardware user interface leaves something to be desired

Overall good watch and dive computer, but usability leaves something to be desired. Both on the device itself and in the application. The interface and usability are extremely unintuitive. It pains me to say this, but it looks like it was designed by engineers. And I'm an engineer. :-) It's very extensible, but the app developer community looks like a bunch of tinkerers. Compared to the everyday Fitbit Blaze, there's no comparison. The flame is much more convenient. A simple thing like waking up the device and showing the time and heart rate when you raise your hand makes it that much more convenient when you have your hands full. to reach and press the button on the left. There are too many things like this to mention. After all, I bought it for diving, and that's why it's a good computer and more. It may be so feature-rich that it's just impossible to create a simple user interface and still give you access to all the information, but if I were Garmin I'd hire the Fitbit design team.

Pros
  • GPS, finder and accessories
Cons
  • Very expensive
