Descent G2：Garmin finally has a diving-watch option to rival the Apple Watch Ultra 2
Garmin has introduced a new all-in-one watch-style dive-computer, the £590 Descent G2, as a slightly more expensive alternative to its £500 Descent GI Solar, with adaptability for diver development its selling proposition. The Descent G2’s diving chops are undisputed; it features multiple dive modes with tracking for all types of diving including single and multi-gas, closed-circuit rebreather, and gauge.
There’s an in-dive 3-axis compass and a big numbers mode that shows you only the most critical data. There are also freedive features including dynamic apnea mode, apnea alerts, a variometer, and a velocity chart. Out of the water, it also doubles as a brilliant smartwatch.

The 100m depth-rated computer has a robust sapphire lens and leakproof buttons, says Garmin, with a bright 30mm AMOLED display for easy reading. The G2 promises up to 10 days of battery life between charges in Smartwatch mode.All the plastics used to make the watch’s housing, bezel and buttons are recycled from material that would otherwise have ended up in the ocean, says the manufacturer.
To help personalise the computer to the individual user, the Dive Readiness feature offers insights into how lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, recent exercise and jet lag have affected the body’s preparedness to dive. A higher score indicates that you’re good to go, while a lower score might prompt the use of a more conservative setting or opting for a less-challenging dive.
