Garmin Descent G2
The Garmin Descent™ G2 is more than just a dive computer; it’s a multi-sport smartwatch, a fitness tracker, and a sustainable tech marvel. Designed for divers, adventurers, and eco-conscious consumers alike, the G2 offers ground-breaking features that you won’t find in any other dive computer—combining cutting-edge technology, sustainability, and user-friendly features for an unparalleled diving experience.
A Closer Look at the Garmin Descent™ G2
The Garmin Descent™ G2 is a leap forward in both functionality and sustainability. From its recycled ocean-bound plastic construction to the vibrant AMOLED display, this dive computer is designed with the modern diver in mind—whether you're exploring the depths of the ocean, hiking a mountain trail, or navigating the streets of your city.
Here’s a breakdown of the key features that make the G2 stand out:
Display & Durability
- 1.2” AMOLED Touchscreen: The G2’s display is not just functional but stunning. The AMOLED screen delivers incredibly sharp and vibrant colours, making it easy to read in even the brightest sunlight or darkest underwater depths. This is a significant upgrade from the G1’s monochrome screen, offering improved visibility and a more dynamic experience.
- Sapphire Crystal Lens: The lens is scratch-resistant and offers superior durability, which ensures that your watch remains free from scratches and damage, even after years of use.
- 10 ATM Water Rating: With a 10 ATM (100 meters) rating, the G2 is built to withstand harsh underwater conditions, ensuring that you can rely on it during any dive, from shallow recreational dives to deeper technical explorations.
Dive Modes & Multi-GNSS Support
- Multiple Dive Modes: Whether you’re diving for leisure, for technical purposes, or engaging in freediving, the G2 supports a variety of modes to accommodate every type of diver, including Recreational Scuba, Technical Scuba, Freediving, and Pool Apnea. This added versatility is a significant benefit over the G1, which only supported basic recreational and technical diving modes.
- Multi-GNSS Support (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo): The Descent™ G2 offers GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo support, allowing you to accurately track your surface entry and exit points with precision. This means you’ll never lose track of where you began your dive, even in remote locations. In comparison, the G1 lacked this feature and only offered basic positioning through the dive log.
Eco-Friendly Innovation
- 100% Recycled Ocean-Bound Plastics: One of the most significant upgrades to the G2 is its construction from 100% recycled ocean-bound plastics. This sustainable approach not only reduces plastic waste but also offers the same rugged and durable build quality that divers expect. The G1, while durable, was constructed from standard plastic materials, which now feels outdated compared to the eco-conscious G2.
