Descent Mk1 Provides a Perfect Overview of your Dives
The features are useful for recreational, technical and free diving. You can easily plan your dives on the device with time calculations, including decompression times and depths. Of course, it is also possible to measure heartbeat even underwater with Elevate wrist heart rate technology or using a chest strap. You will be able to navigate through the water using a 3D compass, and can select audible tones and vibration alarms to provide reminders at critical points in your dive.

Using the built-in, high-sensitivity GPS/GLONASS satellite reception, you can easily save your dive entry and exit points. Garmin Descent Mk1 is waterproof to a depth of up to 100m (10 ATM) according to the EN13319 standard.
Advanced Multisport Watch Features
Descent Mk1 offers a complete feature set for sports/training, fitness and outdoor navigation tools, leveraged from the popular Garmin Fenix line of high-end multisport watches. You can tap into an array of physiological metrics, running dynamics, fitness tracking features and more — to monitor your workout stats, measure your progress and help avoid injury. Special preloaded activity profiles are provided for swimming, running, biking, hiking, skiing, rowing, paddle boarding and more. Various timekeeping, lap count and map tracking functions are easily accessible.
While skiing, the watch can recognise when you're riding a cable car and automatically pause the tracking. During downhill skiing, it measures the speed and distance due to the higher incline. The Garmin Descent Mk1 also has various swimming features, such as stroke type detection and pool swim metrics that measure pace, lengths, distance and even the number of strokes. Additional profiles for cross-country skiing, rowing or indoor cycling offer many features to measure these activities.
Excellent Performance on One Charge
With its sleek, comfortable and elegant design, Descent Mk1 is not only useful for diving and sports but can also be used as a fashion accessory for everyday use. On one charge, Garmin watches offer a battery life of up to 21 days in watch mode, up to 12 days in smartwatch mode and up to 20 hours in GPS mode. The endurance can be extended to 30 hours in GPS mode using the UltraTrac energy saving feature.
Smart Connectivity with Garmin Connect
When paired with your compatible smartphone, Descent Mk1 makes it easy to receive text messages, emails and smart notifications right on your watch face. It also gives you access to automatic uploads with Garmin Connect, audio prompts, music controls and more. Download the app for free on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone devices. If you do not want to use this option, you can access your account through a web application accessible using any web browser.
Another advantage of the Garmin Descent Mk1 is compatibility with the Connect IQ platform to customise your watch's display with free watch faces, apps and data fields
