I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

Initially, I needed a dive computer. Someone likes suunto, someone praises teric. I am sure that these are excellent diving devices, but I don’t see the point in buying one to go to the sea to dive 1-2 times a year, and then put it on a shelf. Therefore, the choice fell on garmin. That is, its combination is rather a plus for me - you can use it in the simulator both on a bicycle and as a watch.

Pros

Lightweight and stylish looking. A convenient watch format (maybe a slightly fat watch compared to the same suunto, but pushing such a combine into a watch format is also an achievement). Customizable interface (within its limits, of course), the ability to install different widgets and programs for yourself. Bright display, moreover, the display does not fade in the sun, but it feels like it reflects light and looks brighter. I don’t know what technology they used, but according to observations, it is. The battery is definitely a plus. Carrying it to a service center and changing the battery in the 21st century is somehow not comme il faut. Good battery life - went to the sea, charged and forgot. Definitely a plus - integration with the T1 transmitter. Someone prefers the old-fashioned way, with a pressure gauge, but one thing is certain - with a transmitter, you can get data on the rate of oxygen consumption depending on depth / temperature / load without separate measuring "swims" and in the future, it's better to plan your dives.

Cons

Price. Even with a discount from under the floor, it's still a very expensive pleasure. Soft. No, it is not buggy, the clock did not freeze, but there is a feeling of some dampness, not quite intuitively convenient. But, I think, this is all fixable and such moments will be finished. The pedometer has a large measurement error - if you want accuracy, do not forget to wave your arms when walking))
