Hi there big fan of the tips, I was wondering is the Descent Mk2 Series touch screen too? It seems expensive It would be criminal not to be a touch screen. I would appreciate if you could verify it for me. Thank you
Hi there, so glad you like the videos. Sadly the Descent is not touch screen as that would go crazy underwater. However, while diving you can cycle through menus by tapping the screen.
@@AdventureCruiser Thank you very much for the support I just got the watch, and I am very satisfied with it. There is one thing that kinda bothers me when I am using it, and that's the smart gesture shaking when I'm diving or swimming. In other words when I am in dive mode when I shake the watch the dive menu changes/is cycled to the next one. I cannot disable it for the love of god. Can you please give me your Imut Mr Advanture Cruiser, I'm trying my best haha P.S. Edit- I also managed to lock myself out of the dive for 24 hours by accident even after watcing your video haha xD
@@flat750 after reading your note I did a bunch of research and couldn’t find a way to disable that feature. However, I encourage you to call Garmin. In the past they’ve been extremely friendly and helpful when I’ve hit walls. In one instance they even gave me a new type of account so my InReach devices would show the locations of each other off-grid while connected to an iPad via Bluetooth. Really incredible that Garmin would spend the time to help me get that going.
Omg I bought a 2k watch for my trip to Indonesia and I made such a huge blunder, o my goodness, I accidentally did this on my watch and had to reset it, it’s unbelievable. This is the kind of guy who called and you have to explain to them to reset the gfci
@@KevinJohnson-ms4qp I appreciate your criticism, but I’d like to encourage you to be a benefit to society by sharing things you apparently know so well, rather than simply criticizing others for taking the time to share lessons learned. I understand that I won’t be able to please everybody, but that isn’t my goal. I challenge you to be a little vulnerable and share lessons you learn to possibly save somebody a little stress. Good luck.
Thanks, glad the tip is might save you some trouble. It’s actually a good thing Gauge Mode has a lockout timer. In my understanding, it’s intended to be used for training and tests that aren’t dives you want to log. However as every dive does cause tissue to absorb nitrogen, it wants to make sure your body is truly safe and ready for a proper dive. However, in the future I’ll not use gauge mode and simply delete unwanted dives from my log. If anybody has suggestions on when and why to use Gauge Mode, I’d love to hear them.
Man that's just the basic ... you can't switch to any kind of mode without making sure you're away from the last activity! And last unless you really have no choice for any reason you never reset it ...
@@AdventureCruiser I agree. I am watching several of these tutorials because the Garmin tutorials aren't geared for every type of user. I appreciate you taking the time to tell us novices what to not do. I do feel like I am still going to be learning the what not to do first.
Lesson number one, read the manual, all of the issues you described were addressed in the manual 🙂
Lesson two: if the design is so poor that it’s not intuitive, it doesn’t deserve my money.
New MK2i owner, good to know. Thanks

correct... I only put multi-tank and single tank in my favirotie. so I don't accidentally get into them

Awe, did mocking me without knowing anything about me make you feel better? Glad I could help.
@@AdventureCruiser damn did I hit the nail on the head with the gfci? It was either that or running out of gas.

Did you feel better about yourself after your comment?
My MK2s died on me on my first vacation, broken depth sensor.
Great tips, thanks for taking the time share!
So it’s not possible to get out of it, unless you play around with tissues ?
Gauge mode is not for pool use, pool mode is.
Wow! Thanks for the tips haha, I wonder why you wouldn't be able to turn the guage off
Thanks, glad the tip is might save you some trouble.

@@AdventureCruiser ah I see
@@AdventureCruiser I use gauge mode for testing new equipment or just for simple skill practice at 5-7 metres deep.
What is the number one rule of buying a dive computer? Answer: read the instruction booklet on how to work it.
The instruction book is almost useless, or at least it was for me. I sympathize with Mr. AdventureCruiser.

If you find you are not naturally intuitive with certain things why not read the start up guide i think they do one
I did, and it’s horribly unhelpful.

You funny man 😅😅
Garmin must update firmware fixing these issue
I was a loser… I read the manual. I knew all these things
