Ah, well... To each his own I guess! I know some people put slides there to prevent harness from sliding around. I'd still go with sleeves on the bottom because of their function -- protecting the webbing, which gonna rub against the steel regardless of slides. Slides would just prevent...

I think the bungie can be used around bent D-rings (mounted around collarbone) to help hold inflator hose. The other (white) string might be for tying off the equipment. I'll post the pictures of my setup tonight. The sleeves go over the webbing when you run it through the holes in the plate --...

I stand corrected on the coating :oops: Will have a few words to say about it when I have a chance to write up a real world review later in the week.

This escalated quickly! Let me grab a few vacuum tubes to continue my reply. Babbage Analytic Engine is feeling cranky this morning...

Hm, I was going to swear Moto 360 was a beastly unit. Did they make it thinner in Gen2? You are totally right! The difference will be noticeable. If those close-up shots are any indication, it should be fairly readable. That being said, I wouldn't compare Moto or any real smartwatch OLED...

Yes, that's the magic of smartphone notifications. Will work exactly same way with Mk1. Sadly that would only provide textual navigation. No showing map on the watch, your location on the the map, and live route.

I think its dimensions are very much inline with Moto 360, at least diameter wise if not height. At 17mm, yes. That's a pretty sizable brick to haul around. They have city/road maps, yes. And yes, you pay for them. I think it is technically possible to do just that and I won't be surprised if...

Garmin has always been pretty good playing with others within ANT+ standard, for example. I have been using Wahoo Tickr heart rate strap and Scosche Rhythm+ arm band with their watches for years. And now they are opening up to Bluetooth too. Polar H10 works just fine with Fenix 5. So, if there's...

Looks like Mk2 will be a killer product. At least, for those of us who prefer smaller, watch-sized dive computers. If my experience with Garmin is any indicator, they will throw AI in as a new version feature at no or little extra cost. Maybe even release a sub-$250 pressure transmitter of their...

Huge thanks for the close-up shots! I don't think there are any out there right now. That new silver sapphire screen looks awesome. I'd say better readability than Fenix 5X. And maybe it's a halo effect, but the screen appears a tad sharper than Fenix as well, even though it's supposed to be...

30lbs See above as I write about it in the last few paragraphs. Really easy to put it on and off. Part of it is silicon coating sliding really well over wetsuit's neoprene, especially in water. Part of it is basic design of the wing without any hanging unnecessary straps and boondoggles common...

Well, I promised pictures and here they come. I found the wing donut to be pretty sturdy, very good craftsmanship, really nice design and branding. In the checkout dive, performed perfectly well. Below are the photos from front and back: Notice a soft Velcro single tank adapter. The bladder...

I bought it for $99 and it is still priced as $99 at Amazon, and anywhere else from $75 to $115. Also, a big point of a dive computer personally for me is ability to get information off it, so I can keep a detailed electronic log of my dives synchronized between devices. So, data cable isn't...

Well, let's focus on basic dive computers Mk1 is being compared to, shall we? On a basic dive computer side, the likes of Leonardo don't require a charging cable but if you want to export your data, a PC interface cradle will set you back by $99. With Mk1 and other dive computers with charging...

I know, I know :wink: But I never claimed the product is for all divers. Or even a substantial chunk of them. Regardless, this brings us all the way back to what started the whole argument... That the new watch is too expensive without air integration. I'm gonna go out on a limb and claim not...

There is. My example shows the market prices a basic dive computer with ability to export dive information at $300, the exact price difference between Fenix 5X and Mk1 -- two Garmin models different only by a presence of dive computer feature in the latter. What does your proverbial dollar...

The Fenix 5X is currently trading at $699 and is selling like hotcakes (don't ever remember any substantial sales on any of the Fenix devices. Hell, even many years old Fenix 3 is still going strong!). So, it is highly unlikely that with added depth sensors, water-proofing to dive standards, and...

Interesting point! Could you follow up with Garmin support and see what they have to say? I'm also wondering if this feature isn't present now, it does appear as something that can be easily handled with a firmware update down the road if enough people are bugging them about it.

Can't speak to Mk1 firmware regarding timers, but if my experience with Fenix 5, upon which this dive computer is based, is any indicator: the timer is a self-contained app you can typically invoke by either going back to the Watch page (long press on one of the buttons), or getting to Shortcuts...

Anybody from New York tri-state area, better still northern NJ (absolute best, Bergen county) is going to participate in this annual tradition? I'm transitioning from being a vacation diver to something of a local diver and would love to dive Dutch Springs this December. The idea sounds crazy...
