The watch has everything you could ever want from a watch - versatile sports and diving functions in one shell.
My previous watch was the Descent MK1. The local payment feature I missed has been added to the new model. In addition, the screen is slightly larger than before, which means that the numbers are also slightly larger.
For sports, such as running, I recommend a heart rate belt, which provides a lot of extra performance data.
For the snorkeler, the dive apnea mode is great. It treats the visit under each surface as a separate dive, giving you depth and duration, for example. However, the entire snorkeling event is recorded as a single event.
There is nothing wrong with battery life. With moderate use for 1-2 weeks, it includes sports, diving, and novelty pinching.
* (Addition 6.2.2022)
Battery life with all sensors on and a few hours of gps use in less than a week. *
Unlike its predecessor, this watch has a USB connection of the MediaTransferProtocol type. It causes a bit of a headache for the Mac user if they want to view the clock files. There are programs to access the clock. On a PC, things work as they should. (The clock appears as an external hard drive in File Explorer.)
However, Garmin Express can also transfer music and more on your Mac.
