It should have been released at DEMA in November last year. Beneath The Sea was supposed to take place at the end of March but was cancelled due to COVID-19. Garmin just released a “water related” watch a few days ago.
I’d imagine that they’ll release the MK2 within the next month or 2 with the weather (in the USA) improving. Still, with the way they completely botched the MK1 and it’s development, dropping another $1k+ probably isn’t in the cards for most people.
I hope it comes soon. I'm using a Fenix 3HR with a bootleg app haha. I'm a free diver along with mountain biking / running so I'd like to upgrade in general but hopefully get the new features and maps that are actually useful for shore dives trying to find wrecks and what not.
Good sign they release anything with COVID, I was worried they would hold off any release til this clears up a bit.
I hope your right but they have release other products (Marq Captain) during this pandemic. Although the products released seem to be a bit more niche then this dive watch.
Maybe not the first products of their kind in the Garmin line up but the MK2 wont be either. For all we know, there wont be a MK2, right? From what I read, Garmin is very secretive and doesn't do "leaks" of new products so all these release dates are 100% speculative. I hope there is an MK2 though, I've been holding out over a year.
I was also waiting for more than one year for the MK2 with AI. Now there is not even any official statement from Garmin (not even that they are working on the MK”) Now I was sad to wait and decided to change my dive computer to a Shearwater Teric.
