Rated 5 out of 5

Great Smartwatch and Dive Computer

Great everyday smartwatch which also doubles as a great dive computer. If you have owned a Garmin smartwatch previously, the smartwatch features will be very familiar to you. The screen is very visible at all times, especially while diving, and the dive computer shows pretty much everything you need to see and nothing more. The dive screens are also customizable to have more or less info on the screens, and it has a cool arrow display which shows your ascent/descent rates. Solar feature *kinda* works, but not great. If you spend a lot of time in unobstructed sunlight, then it is definitely worth it as it can actually charge the watch by 1-2%. I would still say it is worth it as a diver since the solar one comes with a significantly longer dive strap, which is definitely a lot better for a 7/8 semi-dry wetsuit or drysuits, even as a skinny person. For bigger individuals, the strap may be good even in 5mm wetsuits. Overall, great buy.

Works perfectly.

I did five dives over the Christmas holiday, and it worked flawlessly for all of them. I hesitated to buy this watch after being burned several years by a much more expensive air integrated watch that just stopped logging dives and ate my logbook. SO I was overjoyed that the G1 not only worked automatically, but also gave me the dive in stunning detail. It was way to cloudy the whole time so I didn't get to see the Solar feature charging, but I couldn't be happier. (Wish I had air integration, but I was just hoping to have the holiday dives logged! If you are looking for an entry level (no air integration) capable dive watch, check this one out! I don't think you will be disappointed.
