> 24 hourI bought the watch prior to a trip to Grand Cayman. Wore it for a few days (all day and all night). Awesome features. Ive never been a watch guy but started to love it. Then one of the buttons got stuck. I called customer service, and they suggested to soak it in warm water or clean around the button with alcohol. No problem. But I asked If that doesnt work, what else can we do? The response was that they could ship the watch to me international, but Id have to pay $40 for shipping. If you can afford this watch, $40 shouldnt be a deal killer. But on principal alone, if the watch is defective, and Garmin cant cover $40 for international shipping, then WFT?! This is a huge fail in my book. The watch may be great (Ill assess the diving functions if I can actually use in 2 days, assuming the fixes work), but customer service should be equal to the quality of the watch, especially at this price point. If the company cant fix their own defect without charging me for shipping so I can actually dive with it, then that is an epic customer service fail. As always, buyer beware. Garmin, you should re-think your policy on things like this...my respect for Garmin just dropped off a cliff.

> 24 hourThis really is a top notch watch. The watch pretty much does everything you need almost independently without the phone. It is great if your on vacation and dont want to carry extra items with you that you may lose such as credit cards etc. Really accurate dive computer. Saves and logs everything so you really dont need to manually put anything on paper anymore if you so choose.

> 24 hourI have owned 2 garmins Mk 1 and Mk 2 I have really enjoyed both of them, and only got rid of the MK 1 to upgrade to the MK2 which offered a smaller, more feminine design- unfortunately this came with the price of a little decreased battery life, but still a great watch- I probably wouldn’t have upgraded, but my Apple Watch was broken and I was wearing my MK 1 everyday as a smart watch and as a petit woman it looked a little funny.

> 24 hourNever expected a company like Garmin to do what I always thought Casio was going to do first. Battery life is extraordinary considering it is communicating with the transmitter all the time. Diving 5 days a week cleaning boats only leaves me wanting for a deeper setting to start dives, it is 4 feet and can not be changed. Many times it ends my dives because of it, but it is the nature of my work, when cleaning large boats it works as expected. Oh, and I go though my week with one precautionary charge in between, it can possibly last the five days with 6 hours of diving a day. The tracking of other aspects of your life such as breathing rate is impressive, and even if it were to not be perfectly accurate, it is still a great support tool for health and sports. Speaking of which, it is ready for ALL of them, from playing golf to jumping out of an airplane, to holding your breath to freedive. And it can be set in indoor modes for gym use too. Pretty sure there will be detractors, there always are, but this things really does it all with a high level of care, and customization.

> 24 hourI bought this as an upgrade to my Garmin Descent G1. I love that the controls are identical. The screen is easily readable in the sun, and its big enough to see everything needed during a dive. Its awesome having the air integration. No more going back and forth between my SPG and my dive computer. Tons of apps and activity trackers like the Garmin Fenix watches.

> 24 hourEl reloj es estéticamente muy lindo, puedes utilizarlo todo el día en los distintos ámbitos y siempre vas a quedar bien. En cuanto a las funcionalidades, son muchísimas, y muy específicas. Tiene gran cantidad de mediciones y junto con la aplicación podes realizar un buen análisis de parámetros de las actividades y la salud. Particularmente me lo compré para bucear pero lo he utilizado también en otras actividades. Me parece muy fiable. Me encantó el producto.

> 24 hourSo far love it. I wear glasses and have lenses in my dive goggles. So some of the reading is hard to do. I accidentally passed NDL, the screens switched but it became less intuitive. NOT the time I want less intuition. So at 110ft, 1 NDL, heading up and Deco popped. Your normal screens disappear and new ones take their place. Which would be fine but you dont get to practice with them in advance, so you are learning what the watch is doing in a Deco mode. Sort of insane. Anyway, I figured it out so I suspect many might. Just pay careful attention and take a minute to read the screens (from 3 to 2 as I recall) and follow the instructions on stops and times. Other than surprise, all your screens are changing (and yes I read ahead of time on this just in case) its a great watch. The finish scuffs a bit easily, but it is a dive watch mostly (for me) and nothing remains as if new. Ah, one more minor issue. I have the titanium band. It fits my wrist. But the expansion for diving makes it VERY tight on a 7mm wetsuit and impossible if you wear gloves. The band expander, to avoid manual adjustments for diving and non-diving, needs 3mm more or less greater opening.

> 24 hourThe product is absolutely amazing, I have had six other similar products, but nothing like this. It is perfect for all personal activities. The only thing I wished for, is that the product came with a second battery.
