## Description

You’re a diver underneath with Descent™ G1 Solar. This rugged, solar charging dive computer is built for multiple types of diving, whether you’re a recreational or technical scuba diver, spear fisher or free diver. Descent G1 Solar is enabled with GPS to help mark your surface entry and exit points. Pair with the Garmin Dive™ smartphone app to upload, share and review dives, and you can store your favorite dive site locations right on your wrist. Descent G1 Solar also doubles as a smartwatch with built-in sports apps and performance tracking features such as VO2 max. When paired with your compatible smartphone, get smart notifications on your wrist, pay for post-dive lunch with Garmin Pay™ contactless payments (with a supported country and payment network), and personalize your experience with support from the Connect IQ™ Store. Reach your health goals with wrist-based heart rate, activity and sleep tracking (this device is intended to give an estimate of your activity and metrics.)

Review: Use it 24/7, in and out of water. - Previous watch was a Phoenix 5. Got this watch as my backup dive computer, and it has worked exceptionally well. My primary Suunto computer, which is air integrated to monitor PSI, and for easy underwater visibility, is what I look at underwater. But I have the Garmin Descent as a backup, and also for recording and downloading the dive details, as the download process is very simple via Bluetooth, and the dive interface is much easier to use on my iPhone or iPad to review the details of the dive, attach pictures/video, and record important information about the dive. When outdoors in the sun, solar charging works, and generally with a full charge, the watch will last up to 19 days without recharge. I’ve used it on approximately 200 dives around the world, to a depth of 180 feet. Also useful for step count, sleep stats, and other fitness information, as it has the Garmin Phoenix fitness programming. Love it, and my best dive computer purchase, even though it my back up computer.
Review: Great watch - Got this for my boyfriends birthday he loves it doesn’t take it off and fit with his vibe
