#TehcPH - Garmin Announces the Descent G2 Watch-Style Dive Computer
If you're passionate about diving and exploring the underwater world, Garmin has some exciting news for you. They've just unveiled the all-new Descent™ G2, a rugged watch-style dive computer that's perfect for both underwater and topside adventures. With support for multiple dive modes and a suite of health, fitness, and connected features, this dive computer is ready to take your explorations to the next level.
Dive-Ready Design
The Descent G2 features a bright 1.2” AMOLED display, making it easy 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 comes from recycled ocean-bound plastics. The rugged material is complemented by a strong sapphire lens, a 100-meter dive-rated case, and leak-proof buttons. Plus, it’s available in two stylish colorways: classic black and vibrant paloma or shell pink. You can even switch up your look with QuickFit™ bands to match your gear.
Prepare for Your 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. It supports multiple dive modes, including single and multi-gas (nitrox and trimix), closed-circuit rebreather (CCR), and gauge. Navigate below the waterline with a built-in 3-axis compass and view critical data like no-decompression limit (NDL), time, and depth thanks to a simplified screen and larger text.
Freedive Features
For freedivers, the Descent G2 comes with customizable alerts and detailed analytics to enhance training and performance. Track pool dives with dynamic apnea mode, receive audible and haptic alerts for custom depth, interval, direction, target depth, and neutral buoyancy, and log velocity to review descent and ascent rates 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. Track heart rate 24/7, monitor daily steps, calories burned, and floors climbed, and receive a full breakdown of light, deep, and REM sleep stages. Stay active with dozens of preloaded sports apps, follow Garmin Coach training plans, and stay connected with emails, texts, and alerts when paired with a compatible smartphone.
Availability
The Descent G2 is available now on the official Garmin PH website or online through Kinetic, Lazada, or Shopee, with a suggested retail price of P45,490.00.
