Review: Lo compre para bucear pero tambien es muy util en el dia a dia y la bateria le dura mucho (15 dias minimo).
Review: If you’re looking for a smart watch that you don’t need to charge every day like apple and you like to scuba dive this is one of the best Very lightweight, confortable to wear, if you connect it the phone you get 2 weeks autonomy and 5 weeks disconnected. Yes its a black and white screen but it looks like a watch not like a mini iPhone strapped on your wrist. The scuba application starts automatically as soon as you start descending and its clear and accurate in the water.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by T***. on 2 January 2025*

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.
