Review: Great battery life - I'm an occasional (one or two trips per year) single-gas recreational diver, and I wanted an all-purpose activity, health and sleep tracking watch that could also serve as a solid backup dive computer. I was coming from an Apple watch that needed charging at least every 24 hours, which finally got too annoying. I'm 10 days in with this G1 now and am loving it so far. I haven't plugged this watch in since bringing it to a full charge after unboxing it, and it's still telling me I have six days, or 25 percent, battery life left. The solar charging capability is pretty nifty -- I was out in the sun a lot this weekend, and my battery level was exactly the same this morning (Monday) as it was when I woke up on Saturday. The activity/health/sleep tracking seems pretty accurate so far. The watch feels well-made and looks good on my wrist (in my opinion). No complaints with it yet. The big caveat is that I haven't had a chance to dive with it yet. I have dives upcoming over the next three months, so I will edit my review once I've had the watch in the water. I have checked out the dive functions, and it seems well thought out, with all the info I need displayed clearly in large type on three screens that you can cycle through by double-tapping the watch face. As long as it functions at depth the way it has while learning it on land, and as long as it's as readable underwater as it appears it will be, it should be a great dive watch as well. Update: I just did four dives with the G1, using it as a backup to my Shearwater Peregrine. It was great. Screen visibility was excellent despite the small watch face. I’m starting to need readers in low light situations these days, so this was my main concern. But the display was crystal clear and perfectly readable. The recreation dive screens are well designed. G1 uses the same decompression algorithm as my Shearwater, and the dive data in both logs was the same. Review: Another super quality product by Garmin - Best watch I have ever owned, beats the wife's Fitbit in every way, all her features plus a dive watch with extensive activity and health trackers. I was snorkeling one time and did not bother to activate dive mode yet when I dove down about 9 feet it recorded depth etc. Amazing, a must have watch. ## Features - Rugged dive computer and smartwatch with a solar charging lens, easy-to-read monochrome display and QuickFit bands so you can change your style in a second - Battery life: up to 25 hours in dive mode, 4 months in smartwatch mode with solar charging in 3 hours of direct sunlight (50,000 lux) per day and 39 hours in GPS mode with solar charging continuously in direct sunlight (50,000 lux) - GPS/GLONASS/Galileo support allows divers to mark surface entry and exit points so you can see exactly where you started and ended the dive - Track your activities with more than 30 built-in sports apps and advanced training features such as VO2 max, so you can see how your body is adapting to training - 24/7 wrist-based HR, Pulse Ox, Body Battery energy monitoring, sleep score and more give you insights into your health and wellness telling you when to slow down and take breaks (this device is intended to give an estimate of your activity and metrics. Pulse Ox not available in all countries; it is not a medical device.) - When paired with your compatible smartphone, enjoy smartwatch capabilities such as smart notifications, Garmin Pay contactless payments (with a supported country and payment network), and Connect IQ app personalization allow for 24/7 wear - Store up to 200 dives on your wrist.

I was snorkeling one time and did not bother to activate dive mode yet when I dove down about 9 feet it recorded depth etc. Amazing, a must have watch. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Use it 24/7, in and out of water. *by T***. on January 2, 2025* Previous watch was a Phoenix 5. Got this watch as my backup dive computer, and it has worked exceptionally well. My primary Suunto computer, which is air integrated to monitor PSI, and for easy underwater visibility, is what I look at underwater. But I have the Garmin Descent as a backup, and also for recording and downloading the dive details, as the download process is very simple via Bluetooth, and the dive interface is much easier to use on my iPhone or iPad to review the details of the dive, attach pictures/video, and record important information about the dive. When outdoors in the sun, solar charging works, and generally with a full charge, the watch will last up to 19 days without recharge. I’ve used it on approximately 200 dives around the world, to a depth of 180 feet. Also useful for step count, sleep stats, and other fitness information, as it has the Garmin Phoenix fitness programming. Love it, and my best dive computer purchase, even though it my back up computer. ## Frequently Bought Together - Garmin Descent™ G1 Solar, Rugged Dive Computer with Solar Charging Capabilities, Multiple Dive Modes, Activity Tracking, Black - IPG for Garmin Descent G1 Hydrogel Screen Protector (2 Units) Invisible HD Clear Film Anti Scratch Guard-Smooth/Self-Healing/Bubble for G1 - TUSITA Charger Compatible with Garmin Descent Mk1 Mk2 Mk2i Mk2S Mk3i X50i G1 G2 Solar, 1M - GPS Smartwatch Accessories --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ec/products/422324853-descent-g1-solar-rugged-dive-computer-black](https://www.desertcart.ec/products/422324853-descent-g1-solar-rugged-dive-computer-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ecuador* *Store origin: EC* *Last updated: 2026-08-13*
