Upgraded from a gen 1 Instinct. Every function is better. Really like having the tide and sunrise, sunset on the face.

I purchased my Garmin Descent as a backup computer for a recent dive trip to Bonaire. 30 minutes into my first dive on island, the depth sensor on my integrated computer quit, rendering it useless. Thank goodness I was wearing the Descent as a backup. Logged 2 dives in a week. Really cool to see the data graphs and what a great way to automate the logbook. Data even includes the GPS location of where the dive started. Switched to Nitrox 2 days into our trip. It took about 30 seconds to switch the Descent and update the O2 values. Very intuitive interface. To top it all off. Charged the Descent prior to the trip. Charge lasted the entire week.

I do love the features of the watch but it could be much more user-friendly. I am sure I can learn the functions better also. The GPS is good but uses a ton of battery and the compass seems tricky to calibrate and needs calibrations too often

Bought mine about 1 year ago and still loving it, especially with the connected apps.

I like the watch except when I go diving I can hardly see the display because it is only in black display. It would be nice if it is in white display and much easier to read it.

The Descent G1 Solar is awesome! It automates dive logging and managing your dives with an easy to use interface and integration into you smartphone. I bought one for my daughter and she loves it too!

I'm an active +60 year old who was looking for a sport watch that would track my walks, hikes, swims, bike rides, and diving. I purchased a Garmin Instinct Solar 3 years ago. In three years I had to replace my instinct twice most likely due to being in the water, pool and salt. Customer support recommended I upgrade to the G1 solar. They honored my previous purchase and only charged me an additional $100 for the upgrade. So far, I'm very pleased with my new G1. It's definitely an upgrade from the instinct and I can't wait to use this for my backup dive computer. Everything I had heard about Garmin standing by their products is accurate. Keep up the great work!! Thank you.

Interface is easy to learn and use. It could use a better manual though, many features I've had to Google or accidentally figure out. But once I know them, its easy. Good size for quick glances to get all the information I need. I do with the battery life while tracking an activity was more efficient.

I bought many month ago, I when diving to El Salvador at the Ilopango volcano, was my first experience with dive watch, since I bought it haven't take it of of my hand. To do the solar charging is a bit difficult

I've had my G1 solar for several weeks and I've used it to track my hikes and on two dives. It has a lot of good features and it worked very well as a dive computer. I wish it could be programmed from the phone app like my old G-shock though. Having to push buttons and scroll through options on the watch is tedious.

I really love this watch. I use it for everything - swimming, cycling, hiking walking, diving, sleep monitoring, etc. Solid battery life, great features, and durable. It's really nice as a HRM broadcasting to my Garmin cycling computer too - much more comfortable than my old chest strap. Integration across the Garmin ecosystem is fantastic...really love this watch and every other Garmin product I've owned. Garmin, you really know how to do it right!

I just needed a computer for the freediving class as I was taking, instead I got the best assistant ever. It connects to my smartphone and gives me message updates and allows generic responses. The battery life and the depth tolerance are superb for this computer. I will probably also use it for recreational diving and spearfishing as well. Garmin, you rock!

Have had it for a year now, bought it as a dive computer. Excellent battery life and have had no issues. I have used it for cycling and lately for running, and it is the best option if you want an exercise watch that you can also use as a dive computer. Can be used with nitrox, have compared to order other more expensive computers and the calculations are pretty similar. Very happy with my purchase.

Watch is rich in functions and features. Display a bit on the small side for a dive computer but usable. Watch requires patience to understand and use all the features. User manual could be better.

Had an Apple Watch ultra. Dive subscription software was buggy and customer service needed some work. Got the G1 Solar and didn't think I would like it since I'm quite heavily an Apple fanboy. Boy was I wrong. Garmin dive software completely blows the Ultra out of the water! Could not be happier. Have worn it 24x7 for 3 weeks and I think I charged it once. The nylon band add on makes it that much more comfortable. In and out of the water. Garmin, well done!!!

Main goal for this watch was for diving. Visibility underwater in some areas can be challenge and this watch has the screen very small and alerts are really difficult to read. Worse thing is that size of the screen is not bad, but there are a lot of waste of space inside it.

I am very happy. What I would like to see in this same watch is color, turn the music volume up or down (with the buttons) but that?s for I.T.

Brought this watch as an upgrade from a previous Garmin and it does its job perfectly. I highly recommend this amazing dive computer and all around good smartwatch

This combines the Garmin Instinct with a dive computer: hey, what more could you want? Well, 1/ the Instinct screen, that is so much sharper, less reflect, easier to read; 2/ the instinct bracelet, that sits the watch on the wrist perfectly; and 3/ a better choice of colors. My advice: don't hesitate to get this amazing value for money multipurpose GPS and fitness companion, but save 100 usd and your eyes: the SOLAR version still needs more work.

This scaled down version of the descent is great. The only thing that I found that I don't like is that I can't add steps as a data field in my walking activity. My Vivo Active HR would let me add steps to walking but it doesn't see to be available on the G1.

I bought this to use as a smartwatch with my iphone, a workout tool, and a recreational dive watch/ backup tech watch. The smartwatch functions are nowhere near what an apple watch can do when paired with an iphone and are probably still not even what my samsung galaxy watch was able to do, but most importantly for me it gives me an audible and haptic alert every time I get a notification. That's pretty much the extent of my requirements for a smartwatch. As a workout tool it is awesome for running/ jogging with GPS measurement and constant heart rate monitoring. As a dive computer it is also great. I've only used it for a recreational dive so far but it functioned flawlessly. Battery life is incredible compared to both the Apple and the Samsung. With one dive, multiple workouts, and days of just wearing as a smartwatch I got about 20-25 days before I had to charge it. Great product.

I find it really good, the only thing I don´t like is that the diving mode auto activates when I´m just dive in the pool without me starting a scuba diving session.

The initial G1 Solar that I got mysteriously died on me when I went to charge it after my first dive trip with it. Garmin refunded my purchase, and I bought a second one, which I've used on two subsequent trips. The watch itself functions well, integrating with my iPhone to deliver messages and track activity. The screen is small and hard to read in bright sunlight or dark conditions. The dive functions work well, but just aren't comparable in readability to my Shearwater Teric or my son's Descent MK2i. I keep the G1 on my BCD near my shoulder, so generally don't refer to it during dives. However, I do use the logging functions and really like the GPS location, which isn't available on my Teric.

I use the G1 as a backup computer for my MK2i. I love that the feature set and menu structures are virtually identical between the 2 computers. The G1 fits better on my wrist for day-to-day use and the solar charging is AWESOME! It's also nice to be able to control the settings from my phone on the G1. Good stuff!

I replaced this watch with my previous apple watch series 4. I am diver so it made sense to make the switch. I have not had a chance to try out the dive features just yet so that is why i gave four stars instead of five. I am looking forward to the adventures i take this watch on both in and out of the water!

My fourth Vivoactive HR's touchscreen stopped responding. I reviewed several Garmin options, another vivoactive, Instinct and Descent. As I recently completed my scuba certification I decided on the Descent Solar. It does have a ton of features and ConnectIQ library seems to continue to grow. Without the touch screen, all the options are a little more difficult to get to and operate. The buttons have multiple options depending on momentary or long presses. I am still getting used to which button does what. I have not yet used the dive features but am worried I will not be able to see the display clearing under water.
