The smartwatch mode on the Garmin Descent Mk2S dive computer is super cool to have. I’ve never really been a fan of smartwatches, but now I can combine diving and activity tracker all in one, I’m sold.
I’ve used the watch to follow my heart rate whilst exercising at the gym, used the GPS mode to track my routes whilst kayaking with my local paddlesports club, and even used the Garmin Pay app to buy my weekly food shop.
The watch allows you to record and review your activity across a whole range of sports including trail running, paddleboarding, rowing, indoor and outdoor running, mountain biking, yoga, golf and pilates. There are over 30 sports app and advanced training features already installed for you to try out.
Along with tracking your heart rate, it also tracks your blood oxygen saturation, otherwise known as pulse oximetry and measure your sleep cycles and quality. The Garmin Descent Mk2S dive computer is an all round super-watch and originates from the functions behind the Fenix6.
All the data that the watch collects during its monitoring activities is uploaded to the Garmin Connect app that you will need to install on your phone. Here you will find an array of features and information that you can use to closely follow your health and fitness goals. I love how clearly this info is displayed too, and the day to day summaries it provides are incredibly helpful.
