Like Sports and Leisure

My previous dive computer was a Suunto Zoop. It was ok - entry-level at an entry-level price - but I never found it very user-friendly. I'm comfortable with Garmin devices because I use them for other sports, and I've dreamed of them making a dive computer for years. The price isn't that high considering it's a dive computer PLUS a multisport watch. I was also looking for a replacement for my Forerunner 620 so having everything in one package wasn't a problem. Yes, AI would be nice, but for me…

I would like to know if I have just received a fake watch.

As an avid fisherman and free diver I was delighted with this watch. I must have been wrong as the watch kept freezing and restarting out of the blue. I've restarted and factory reset multiple times but the problem persisted. Once the watch got stuck in vibration mode during a dive and vibrated until the battery died after 45 minutes. Sigh. Even if you wear it to bed to check the heart rate monitor, it restarts and/or freezes 5-6 times a night. Revain took care of prompt returns and refunds. I…

Terrible software! Good battery life

I like Garmin but they need to hire people to make the software so much better! Many downloads are unavailable or do not work. The Garmin board does not work. I just use my old dive watch and buy a Fitbit heart rate monitor or an Apple Watch. It is very difficult to use this Garmin MK1 item. Also GPS and navigation are not good. To the little one. According to the list, the altimeter must be calibrated once a week. Very weak GPS signal in the building. There isn't even a GPS signal underwater…

Pros
  • Camping
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Nearly perfect. But a terrible design decision ruined everything.

Edit: 7/11/19 So, despite the fact that I never used sunscreen/lotions and didn't take off my watch while exercising (I bought a chest strap), on the cover of The heart rate sensor starts to crack. A bug that could result in me being underwater in over 80ft and my watch suddenly dying (even check your dive charts as a safety net). I have attached a photo of these cracks but they are thin and difficult to get the right light for the camera clearly. If Garmin can't make a decent HR sensor cover…
