  • @Team_399
    @Team_399 8 днів тому

    We bought these and thoroughly regret the purchase: The Dive app will not open unless you have an LTE or wi-fi connection. The Connect app is completely cloud-based (all data disappears when not connected to at least LTE) so if you are on a live aboard boat you have nothing. The underwater messaging is gimmicky and within another menu so not very practical under water. Garmin support is abysmal. 45 minutes, 20 minutes and over two hour wait times this week alone. And then, even though you selected the option for the Descent MkIII, you get general customer service who doesn't know the watch well. They told me that there are very few people at Garmin who actually know the watch. The bezel is soft and scratches easily. The base of the transmitters are wider than other transmitters and won't fit on some octos without a pigtail. We really regret buying these.

    Hi maxime, thanks for this great review. Would you feel confident taking this dive computer for technical dives, or does it seem limited to a "recreational" interface?

    We don’t need to protect people from themselves. If they change the backgas to hypoxic and don’t change it back before diving, that’s not on Garmin… Things like this are why we have computers that default back to air mode of out of gauge mode and actually put people at risk. Someone setting their backgas to hypoxic without being trained will just shorten their bottom time and change the max depth (but the mod of air is already so far out of recreational limits) so there isn’t any extra risk here. When nitrox trained, they should be familiar with the risks of not setting their computer to the right mixes anyway. Other than this, really good review.

    • @MaximeCheminade

      Thanks a lot for your comment! I partially agree with you. I think both should be available. There is some things that bothers me (and preparing the 6 month review as we speak :) ) with both single tank and more advanced modes (CCR tec mode). But i think a dive computer shouldn't permit to breath dangerous gas mix at the surface as the only back gas or at least display a warning. At least on the modes that are intended for recreational diving or even just allow a "advanced mode" that unlock such features. Hypoxic mixes normally also contain helium (yes even in single tank mode), and this creates very different profile than an air dive.

      It does if you enter the dive mode before starting your dive. It wont if you just go diving and the watch / computer changes mode when you get underwater

    Awesome video, I’ve been torn between getting something like the Apple Watch Ultra 2 or a Garmin decent series watch I’ve only started diving this month and have been on 5 dives already and plan on doing more as the year progresses! I work in the maritime industry and will be travelling to some very remote tropical places which will be perfect for diving. Do you think as someone at my starting level it’s worth getting a Mk3 or buying a second hand mk2? I really want to get a fitness watch but the additional functionality of also acting as a dive computer is whats tempting me! Especially considering the Apple Watch Ultra doesn’t seem to be the most accurate and is a subscription based service to use the diving app What would you recommend? Cheers!

      I would personally go garmin all the way. Fitness features, diving, long battery life… theses are amazing. But you might be interested by their cheaper and almost as good G1! If i was on a budget, this is what i would get.

      @@MaximeCheminade awesome, I’ll probably swing towards buying a garmin descent series! I need a daily driver to wear during work and exercise and I plan on diving a lot this year so it will be the best of both worlds Would you recommend going all in with the Mk3 or get an earlier model like Mk2/Mk2s

    • @MaximeCheminade
      @MaximeCheminade 4 місяці тому

      Id say either G1 (budget / solar) or mk3. I wouldnt go to the mk2.

    Great review Maxime - thanks for sharing your experiences! I just had my old Suunto Vyper die on me (battery flooding issue) and was looking at the Garmin Descent Mk3 or the Shearwater Perdix 2 as an upgraded replacement. While I like the many additional features of the Garmin, I can't help feeling some are a bit gimmicky (and fiddly when underwater) and that the screen is a bit small. The Perdix 2 appears to be a more purpose-built watch. I know you use both Shearwater and Garmin DC's professionally - would you consider a scenario where the Garmin is your only DC or would you mainly use it as a second DC alongside a more dedicated DC like the Shearwater?

    • @MaximeCheminade
      @MaximeCheminade 6 місяців тому

      Thank you so much for the kind words ☺️ It very depends on the kind of dive / use you have. I still love and dive my shearwater (and haven't got my mk3i yet). But Garmin computers are super popular with divers (especially the g1 series) and I have to say I really like these. Also bear in mind most of my dives need me to have 2 dc. But I could run a Garmin computer primarily for OC without a problem.

    Have they improved/change communication frequency so it is NOT heard by diver as it was/is on Mk2

      garmin uses sonar instead of rf so it will always make the sound, that being said you can adjust the power so probably can turn it down enough to not hear it

      No, Garmin makes rugged watches mostly. They don't have any LTE watches, and the only one with a mic and speaker is the Venu series after 2 plus. All garmins have a beeper (ss enunciatior) but that's it.

    Good review, thanks. I appreciate the comprehensive, practical, and down-to-earth review. I have about 150 dives on the Mk2i and have been very happy with it. I am looking for a higher-end redundant computer and I may just have to grab this.
