Question for garmin mk3i (iPhone) users

Hey folks,

I currently run an AWU2 and love it, I’ve run AW’s daily since year dot and I find it perfect for my recreational diving so far.

I am however torn and have been toying with the idea of AI so looking at the mk3i (51mm) and happy with all the activity features etc. the battery life is also a big draw.

But trawling through all the reviews and videos it’s hard to see how it performs as an actual smart watch…

So existing users, how are the notifications? Can you interact with them, read and reply to texts, iMessages and WhatsApp etc?

Any other thoughts on the mk3i v the AWU2 that aren’t dive related?

Thanks all.
