Garmin Descent G1 Solar Dive Computer and Smartwatch
A rugged smartwatch aimed at divers, the Descent G1 Solar is an intuitive, watch-sized dive computer, with trim and slim built.
With a manageable screen size of 45 mm and made up of more impact-resistant fiber reinforced polymer, the Descent G1 Solar is available in two versions: solar-powered and non-solar. The timepieces come in four different color schemes (Black, Hurricane Blue, Powder Gray, and Slate Gray) and provide customers with a selection of diving settings.
The Descent G1 offers a rechargeable battery with up to 25 hours in dive mode, up to 3 weeks in smartwatch mode, and up to 4 months in smartwatch mode with the solar charging models. The wearable’s touch-sensitive 176-by-176-pixel MIP dial is designed for underwater use and is rated to function up to 100m underwater, but it also has a number of features that make it a good day-to-day watch.
Descent G1 Series provides support for single and multiple gas dives (including air, nitrox, trimix, and 100 percent O2), gauge, apnea, apnea hunt, and closed-circuit rebreather for beginning recreational divers through seasoned technical divers. A 3-axis digital compass and vibration depth alarms are also included in the G1 Series. Divers can see depth, dive time, temperature, NDL/TTS, ascent/descent rates, gas mix, PO2, N2 loading, decompression/safety stop information, and time of day on their wrists, all of which are adjustable to the user’s preferences. In apnea modes, freedivers will have the option of customizing their dive and surface screens, as well as other information like ascension and descent rates to compare performance between dives.
Using multi-GNSS satellite support, the Descent G1 will automatically record surface entry and exit sites in the water and store them in the associated Garmin DiveTM app2, allowing divers to readily access a complete analysis of each dive activity, including maximum depth and bottom time. Configure settings on the Descent G1 Series with the Garmin Dive App, or plan your next trip by browsing popular places that have been rated and reviewed by other people. Users can also track their activity above water with the Garmin Descent G1.
The Descent G1 Series includes a number of health features, such as advanced sleep monitoring with sleep score and a selection of built-in indoor and GPS sports apps, including swimming, hiking, jogging, cycling, golf, yoga, and surfing. Surfers may view a visual representation of tidal information, wave height, wind, and surf quality rating right on their wrist thanks to the integrated Surfline Widget.
With Garmin’s entire array of advanced fitness features including VO2 Max, Fitness Age, Training Status, Recovery Time, HIIT Workouts, and Daily Suggested Workouts, the G1 Series will track and measure performance.
The Descent G1 has a compass, temperature, and gyroscope, among other sensors. When coupled with an iPhone or an Android phone, the wearable also allows users to make calls from their wrists, and also helps in finding your lost phone. The Garmin Pay feature in the device allows for contactless payments.
The new Garmin Descent G1 Solar is a tough dive computer with a variety of smartwatch options that lift it beyond the sea!
