Wrist-based Heart Rate
The Descent Mk1 dive computer uses Garmin Elevate wrist-based heart rate technology² to optically scan your pulse(when worn in contact with your skin, not over a wetsuit or drysuit). The dive computer tracks your exertion levels and uploads your heart rate data automatically to your Garmin Connect online account for post-dive review and analysis.
Pair within Reach® Satellite Communicator.
Carry peace of mind on your wrist. Pair the Descent Mk1 dive computer and in Reach Mini® two-way satellite communicator (satellite subscription required). You can receive notifications and weather on your wrist and even trigger an SOS from the surface. When you use the in-reach Mini dive case, water-rated to 10 ATM (or 100 meters), you can bring that same peace of mind along underwater and use it when you surface 1.
Smart Connectivity
When paired with your compatible smartphone³, 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. While you’re topside, friends and family members can follow your location and adventures online, in real-time, using the Live Track feature. Or you can use Group Track and your map display to keep tabs on your activity-sharing buddies as you go.
Premium Materials, Elegant Style
Crafted of premium-grade materials, the Descent Mk1 dive computer is available in 2 distinctive styles: a stainless steel bezel with a treated silicone watch band or a deluxe titanium bezel version with a brushed DLC titanium bracelet. Both models offer advanced GPS and GLONASS satellite reception, via an EXO™ omnidirectional antenna in the bezel, for better reception in challenging environments (versus GPS alone). A bright, high-resolution, full-colour Garmin Chroma Display™ with LED backlighting assures great readability in all lighting conditions, above or below the water. And for added scratch resistance, both models incorporate a high-strength domed sapphire lens.
You can customize the watch display with free watch faces, apps, and data fields from our Connect IQ™ store. For your safety, Connect IQ functions are not available while diving, so we can ensure that all dive capabilities are functioning as they were designed. Both Descent Mk1 models are also Wi-Fi®-enabled, so each can connect to your wireless network and automatically send activity uploads for sharing on Garmin Connect.
