Garmin Malaysia today announced the Descent G2, a rugged watch-style dive computer with features to help divers explore both their underwater and topside worlds.
With support for multiple dive modes – ranging from technical diving to freediving – plus, popular features like a dive readiness score and Garmin’s suite of health, fitness and connected features, the newest dive computer is ready for the next adventure.
It also features an eco-friendly design with parts made with recycled ocean-bound plastics and up to 10 days of battery life in smartwatch mode to keep the explorations going.
“Whether you’re a novice diver or more seasoned, the Descent G2 is designed to grow with you—even into tech diving.
“And with popular features for life above the water like dive readiness, 24/7 heart rate, advanced sleep monitoring and more, there is no limit as to what this watch can do before, during and after your next dive.” Scoppen Lin, Assistant General Manager, Garmin Asia.
Featuring a 1.2” AMOLED display, the Descent G2 makes it easier to read more data at a glance—even while underwater. Designed with environmental responsibility in mind, 100 percent of the plastic used to make the watch’s housing, bezel and buttons come from recycled ocean-bound plastics.
The rugged material is complemented by a strong sapphire lens, 100-meter dive-rated case and leakproof buttons.
The Descent G2 is also available in two colourways – a popular black and a colourful paloma/shell pink – and is compatible with QuickFit bands so divers can easily change their band colour to match the style of their gear.
Using the dive readiness feature on the Descent G2, divers can gain insights into how lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, recent exercise and jet lag can affect their body’s overall preparedness to dive. A higher readiness score may suggest it’s time to dive in while a lower score may be reason to consider using a higher conservatism setting or choose an easier dive.
