Descent Mk1 dying after three years

First off, thanks for reminding me I need to charge mine

I'm not seeing this issue at all with mine. Mine was replaced by Garmin late December 2018 (for a button problem) so it is only just over 2 years old.  My contacts seem to be fine.

My watch is over 2 years old and I am starting to see some charging issues. Need to wiggle the watch to start charging. I actually replaced the charging dock and still have the same issue. Certainly something is wrong with the watch and not the charging dock. 

While I’ve long since sold the (2) that I had, my father has one and he has no issues charging his.

after diving, the watch needs to be freshened before charging. Mine are 2 years old. there is no such problem. But I just noticed that I lost the sticker with the serial number))

Ive had my Garmin for  about 4 years.  I  use it  every  day and  i   spearfish  with  it. Absolutely the  best watch every.  However i was  just swimming with the open  water swimming app open and all of  the  sudden a  red message  came on that said  something  like do not dive!! i was just swimming on the  surface so didnt think  much of it. When i  got out  of the water my  watch was dead. i thought maybe it was the lack of charge but  nope. it  literally died. Any  suggestions? I  live in Costa Rica and its hard  to  get things here

The only thing you can do with that type of failure is contact Garmin support. They are often willing to ship replacement refurbished devices to customers at a discount.

Not sure whether it helps, but I think it is worth of trying to reset the watch in the way described in the thread Device not charging - Descent MK1 - Wearables - Garmin Forums, perhaps it will revive it. Sorry if it does not.
