Garmin Descent Mk2, Watch-Style Dive Computer, Multisport Training/Smart Features, Stainless Steel with Black Band, 010-02132-00

I bought this watch as I am developing the mid life problem that is short-sightedness and could no longer read the dial of my dive watch. up to now I had 3 watches - a day watch, Dive computer and a fitness tracker for sport. When I saw this I took the plunge to try to combine all 3. I am very impressed.After purchase it arrived quickly and well packaged. Initially I was disapointed withthe brightness of the display but once you realise it is an LCD rather than OLED and is not effected by sunlight then you don't worry - I have never had a problem reading the face ion all lighting conditions even in 10m murky water. It transpired it was a US import despite being sold direct from Amazon and came with the americain maps installed - Amazon Customer Services refunded the £50 required to download the European maps from Garmin.As a dive watch - I am afraid I can not report on the decompression or dive planning as I am a freediver but for this it is great and I particularly like the haptic feedback alarm.For other sports it has a pulse oxymiter (does not work through a wetsuit!) and a wrist based HRM built in however I found this to be wildly inaccurate when running - it seems to pick up on cadence rather than HR if doing a hard run. I have pared it with a Garmin Tri HRM which sorts out that problem - I have not yet tried this when diving but it says it will record your stats & transmit them to the watch when out of the water.Overall I am delighted with the watch on all fronts, it meets all my needs and excedes them. Yes it is pricy, but it has replaced 2 watches and a dive computer - oh & I forgot the 28day rechargable battery life (depending on activity).I will be taking it Skiing in January and it can download all the world's ski resort maps! We wil see how good that is.
