fitness trackers and sports watch technology is also becoming increasingly popular
Garmin Forums
Does not show on Connect platform
Auto inclusion of gear is confused
NO dive data moves from Connect back to the watch
computer compasses have neglected
It does not make the product pricier for you
Garmin s reputation for support is not unsullied
no stranger to dive computers
it connects via GPS
it's a bit pricey
Garmin Descent MK1 is not exclusively a dive computer
Garmin MK1 only allows you to play music from other connected devices
Teric can only handle five gas switches
you can only charge it directly with the USB cradle charger
Descent MK1 also does not have rebreather compatibility
it is not a pure dive computer
Teric does not have a heart rate monitor
no dancing around the elephant in the room - the price of this unit
the blood flow around your wrist cannot circulate freely
not comfortable with the functional buttons
Garmin Connect app must be open or running as a background app
sometimes cutting-edge
sometimes quirky world of gear design
No widgets
nor settings access
nor apps or data fields
no easy way to import dive history
lack of connectivity of dive computers
no there is no sailing down the Seine
Garmin isn t doing anything significantly unique
the lack of clarity on labels
process does require fiddling with some buttons underwater
Neither location services or messaging have been implemented on the Garmin
the wireless transmitter is proprietary to Garmin
erratic the data is
it s not really a direct comparison
noise coming from your freediving computer
the audible alarms for start and stop are disabled
multi-gas mode will gauge your decompression stops
lack of air-integration and a short depth range
