Unffortunately, it can not hold music files. Thanks Divemaster Chris 866-728-2293 Onlinescuba **Q: Is it compatible with tank pressure transmitter** A: It does not have air integration... one of the biggest downsides to using it as a dive computer, Garmin should have incorporated it for sure! **Q: Has anyone used this for diving and skiing? need a dive computer, but want to track my runs/top speed when i ski as well.** A: The skiing feature is NOT working well. I have used it many times and was getting various false readings including bogus altitude and impossibly high speeds. Not recommended for skiing. But happy with most of scuba related tracking except few small bugs with the mobile app and the diving related screens. **Q: Does this come with a Garmin warranty?** A: Yes, it does come with the Garmin Warranty. Garmin products are warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for one year* from the original date of purchase.

The watch is exceptional, works seamlessly underwater, has very fast refresh underwater for the computer and compass, and really knocks it out of the park with the GPS location function for beginning and ending of dives. It monitors temp, heart rate - along side of all the other profile stuff. On the surface, it is also an awesome fitness watch, again with the added benefit of a GPS for tracking of your workouts, etc. I love the recharging ability so when I travel, I can know it is fully charged and ready to go (as opposed to being in a remote island with no lithium batteries on hand).Couple things I would like to change of a minor nature are the brightness of the watchface in land mode, and the font size in dive mode (for folks over 45). I can see this stuff, but have to work a little harder to do so. Also, I don't know whether 1) the GPS function for dive mode will store/retrieve the lat - long coordinates; it is clear the locations are stored graphically, but sometimes you need the details for that choice dive spot. 2) Whether the Garmin Connect app can be used for the PC. This might help for long-term planning on the map, and manipulation of data for archival purposes. Regardless, the watch is light years ahead of other competitors!As a diver for 25 years certified by YMCA, PADI, SDA, SSI, at least half of that serving as a divemaster, a public safety diver, this is an awesome watch. Guys will love that it is so many watches in one: a watch, a fitness watch, a GPS, a heart monitor; and of course, a dive computer!Great Job Garmin. THIS is the new standard for dive computer watches!UPDATE:Garmin added the lat long coordinates in the app, so that’s covered too. Two years later and I still love the watch; plus its priced $200 less than before! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The one to rule them all *by C*** on April 16, 2019* Garmin just throw the ball out of the park with this one. If you are into multi sport this is the one to get! A little bit on the pricey side but totally worth it. The watch automatically transfer all the data to the phone ( you already know that but still its a great feature).I primarily bought it because it’s a dive computer capable of showing all data in the phone (but air consumption). I also do running, weights, kayaking...The more I use it the more I like it.Pro:Simple to useGood battery lifeNo need to change altitude the computer does adjust automaticallyTransfer all data to phone including the heart rate under waterSmart watchBeen able to change faces, download widgetsKeep track of all your activitiesAnd list goes on and on....ConsNo Air consumption ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good hardware user interface leaves a lot to be desired *by A***I on September 23, 2018* Overall a good watch and dive computer, but...The usability leaves a lot to be desired. Both on the unit itself and the app. The interface and usability are extremely unintuitive. It pains me to say it but it looks like it was designed by an engineers. And I'm an engineer. :-)It's very extendable, but the app developer community look like they're just a bunch of amature hobeyists.Comparing it to a Fitbit Blaze for everyday use, there is no comparison. The Blaze is so much more convenient. A simple thing like having the unite wake up and display the time and heart rate when you bring up you arm, makes it so much more convenient if your hands are full.To get the Descent to just show the time so it's visible, I need to reach over and push a button on the left side. Just too many things like that to mention.In the end of the day I did buy it for the diving and as such it is a good computer and so much more. Perhaps it's so feature rich htat it's just impossible to make an easy interface and still give you access to all the information, but if i were Garmin I would go and hire the design team from Fitbit. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/98881042-garmin-descent-mk1-watch-sized-dive-computer-with-surface-gps](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/98881042-garmin-descent-mk1-watch-sized-dive-computer-with-surface-gps) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
