Garmin has unveiled the all new Descent™ G2, a rugged watch-style dive computer with features to help divers explore both their underwater and topside worlds. With support for multiple dive modes – ranging from technical diving to freediving – plus popular features like a dive readiness score and Garmin’s suite of health, fitness¹ and connected features, the newest dive computer is ready for the next adventure. It also features an eco-friendly design with parts made with recycled ocean-bound plastics and up to 10 days of battery life in smartwatch mode to keep the explorations going.

“Whether you’re a novice diver or more seasoned, the Descent G2 is designed to grow with you—even into tech diving. And with popular features for life above the water like dive readiness, 24/7 heart rate, advanced sleep monitoring and more, there is no limit as to what this watch can do before, during and after your next dive.” 

–Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales

Dive-ready design

Featuring a 1.2” AMOLED display, the Descent G2 makes it easier to read more data at a glance—even while underwater. Designed with environmental responsibility in mind, 100% of the plastic used to make the watch’s housing, bezel, and buttons come from recycled ocean-bound plastics. The rugged material is complemented by a strong sapphire lens, 100-meter dive-rated case and leak-proof buttons.

The Descent G2 is also available in two colorways – a popular black and a colorful paloma or shell pink – and is compatible with QuickFit™ bands so divers can easily change their band color to match the style of their gear.

Prepare for the next dive

Using the dive readiness feature on the Descent G2, divers can gain insights into how lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, recent exercise, and jet lag can affect their body’s overall preparedness to dive. A higher readiness score may suggest it’s time to dive in, while a lower score may be reason to consider using a higher conservatism setting or choose an easier dive.

Recreational dive features

The Descent G2 offers versatile dive tracking, in-dive navigation, and enhanced readability for a better underwater experience.

• Multiple dive modes: Track all types of diving, including single and multi-gas (including nitrox and trimix), closed-circuit rebreather (CCR) and gauge.
• In-dive compass: Navigate below the waterline with a built-in 3-axis compass.
• Big numbers mode: View critical data, like no-decompression limit (NDL), time, and depth thanks to a simplified screen and larger text.

Freedive features

The Descent G2 also comes with freedive features that provide customizable alerts and detailed analytics to enhance training and performance.

• Dynamic apnea mode: Track pool dives while training for the next freedive.
• Apnea alerts: Reduce the need to look at the watch during a dive by receiving audible and haptic alerts for custom depth, interval, direction, target depth and neutral buoyancy.
• Variometer: Receive audible and haptic alerts based on descent or ascent rates.
• Velocity chart: Log velocity and review descent and ascent rates, as well as hang time, throughout the dive in the Garmin Dive™ smartphone app.

All-day wearability

For life above the water, the Descent G2 includes Garmin’s suite of health and wellness, training, and connected features.

• Health and wellness monitoring: Track heart rate 24/7; keep tabs on daily steps, calories burned and floors climbed; receive a full breakdown of light, deep and REM sleep stages as well as a sleep score and advanced sleep insights; gain a deeper understanding of overall health with heart rate variability (HRV) status; track stress, hydration and respiration; and monitor Pulse Ox² while awake or asleep.
• Training insights: Stay active with dozens of preloaded sports apps for cycling, open-water swimming, strength training and more; track intensity minutes, VO2 max, heat and altitude acclimation and recovery time; follow Garmin Coach training plans that adapt day-to-day based on performance, recovery and health metrics; and view an entire week of daily suggested workouts that adapt after every run or bike ride.
