Garmin Descent MK2

I have no Apple devices, either. I am not a fan of being trapped in an ecosystem. I prefer swirling chaos and open standards....

I like that I have one dive log that has in it all the data from every different dive computer I have ever owned.

Oceanic, Hollis, Shearwater, Seabear. At least 8 different computers (maybe 10?), I think, from at least 4 different brands (if I'm not forgetting any).

I am like you. I would not want to have my dive data locked up in a Garmin ecosystem when, in a few years, the next Awesome Shiny Dive Computer comes out, from a different brand, and I wanted to switch.

If you're concerned with how you'll move your data, maybe a pen, and paper is more your speed?

LOL. So the only choices are the Garmin ecosystem or pen and paper? You truly have been assimilated.

I love the MK1, I am the type that likes everything in the same eco system. I just need to talk my wife into letting me upgrade to the MK2i.

This, from the person who would go out of his mind if he had to take off his Fenix and put on a separate dive computer when he goes diving?



BTW, I’m still waiting for some examples of how it benefits you to have your dive data in the same app as your bike/run/hike app...

Out of his mind? Hmm, not quite, but nice try.

Since you can't figure out how to export data, I'm thinking it might be too much of a challenge for you to understand. Shoo. Back to your flip phone with you.

Full assimilation requires the user to track pee stress in real time. Garmin has got me by the...
How I ever lived without this technological wonder I will never know.

looks similar enough that she might not notice.

Has anyone seen anything on the combo pricing?

Convenience. Apple has built an empire on that notion.

I might be late with the picture but the computer has been available here in Hawaii for about a week.

Have they been selling just the computer or did they have any pods as well?
