“Building on the success of the Descent Mk2, we’re excited to
give divers more options, especially our female customers,” said
Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “A
tribute to your active lifestyle and passion as a diver, the Mk2S
is both an essential tool for diving and a smart timepiece that
allows you to track your activities around-the-clock.”
Dive ready
For underwater adventures, the Descent Mk2S is a full-featured
dive computer with support for multiple dive modes for single and
multiple gas dives (including nitrox, trimix and 100% O2), gauge,
apnea, apnea hunt and closed-circuit rebreather. Mk2S will mark
entry and exit points in the water using multi-GNSS satellite
support and includes an underwater 3-axis compass. Divers can view
depth, dive time, temperature, NDL/TTS, ascent/descent rates, gas
mix, PO2, N2 loading, decompression/safety stop information,
time-of-day and more, right on the wrist. Users can quickly
customize their dive modes by selecting additional screens that
feature the fields they’d like to see.
Store and review dive data for up to 200 dives on the watch or
view them all on the companion Garmin Dive™ app1, which
automatically provides a detailed analysis of each dive activity
including max depth, bottom time and a map of surface entry and
exit points. Using the app’s Explore tool, divers can plan their
next trip by viewing popular dive sites that have been rated and
reviewed by other users, with helpful information like weather
conditions and dive logs from that specific location. In app, keep
track of the gear being used for each dive. Easily tag equipment,
wetsuit and fins, then refer back when preparing for future
trips.
Wellness tracking and smart features
When not diving, the Descent Mk2S doubles as a premium
multisport GPS smartwatch with all-day health monitoring, built-in
sports apps and more. Descent Mk2S introduces Garmin’s industry
leading women’s health features including menstrual cycle tracking
and pregnancy tracking, as well as all-day respiration and advanced
sleep monitoring, which estimates light, deep and REM stages of
sleep. Upon awakening, users can review their Sleep Score and
Insights on the watch to see whether they are getting the quality
sleep they need to feel rested and recharged.
When paired with a compatible smartphone, receive notifications
for calls, texts and calendar alerts right on the wrist, Garmin
Pay™ for contactless payments2 and music storage.3 Descent Mk2S
boasts up to 7 days of battery life in smartwatch mode and up to 30
hours in dive mode.
Sports apps and advanced metrics
Packed with preloaded sports apps for running, swimming,
cycling, strength training, skiing, golfing and more, the Descent
Mk2S will monitor and track all essential information. These sport
profiles have expanded to now include surfing and indoor climbing,
plus advanced training metrics for multiple activities.
- Surf: Using a Surf Activity profile, users can track total
waves, surf time, total time, max speed and their longest wave,
plus ocean conditions and tide data right on the wrist.
- Mountain Bike: Using the new “Grit and Flow” metrics,
individuals can track the details of every ride with mountain
biking metrics, plus specialized grit and flow measurements that
rate trail difficulty and how smoothly users descend, giving a
unique score to beat next time.
- Indoor Climb: The indoor climb activity profile allows climbers
to track their sessions at indoor facilities. Metrics include the
number of routes, vertical distance climbed, climbing time,
difficultly of each route and more.
- Recovery Advisor: Giving the body time to recover between
training sessions or activities is crucial. After each workout, the
built-in recovery advisor will recommend how long to rest before
another big effort.
- Daily Suggested Workouts: For training guidance that takes
fitness level into account, get daily run and ride suggestions
based on current training load and training status.
When paired with a compatible Garmin inReach® satellite
communicator4 at the surface, users can send and receive messages
quickly from the Descent Mk2S watch and when necessary, trigger an
interactive SOS. Divers can keep the device protected by using the
inReach Mini Dive Case (sold separately) and have peace-of-mind
whenever they surface.
Design, pricing and availability
Available in three colorways – light gold with light sand
silicone band, carbon gray DLC with black silicone band and mineral
