MK1 Warning

Please show me my post where I said that I stopped using their products...? I’ll wait.

In fact, I’m wearing the Tactix Delta Solar right now, along with looking at my Tactical Instinct Solar from a distance. Thanks for your concern 

I have an issue with the way Garmin has handled the Mk1, nothing more, nothing less and I’m more than qualified to provide criticism when needs be. 

I posted this topic due to the nature of the content. I’m sorry if you or NRA don’t see what I posted as problematic, but it is. 

This product is rated EN13319 and based off of the Decompression Model Buhlmann ZHL16C, so after all that, it’s still going to “fail to provide accurate information” and this shouldn’t be discussed? Sorry, you’re both wrong and Garmin’s silence on this is deafening.

OK... I'll bite...

"I’m more than qualified to talk about the Descent because up until a month ago, I had 2 versions of the watch, since January of 2018. I stopped selling them.."

So you don't have them, nor do you sell them. In fact:

I find it really funny that you (an anonymous troll) actually spent time to do all of that but you looked like dum dum in your previous post which is why you went out of your way to “try” to discredit me. I didn’t look, but did you actually find a post of mine that said I wasn’t using any Garmin products anymore Mr. Anonymous like you said before?

I briefly skimmed through it and noticed you mentioned the Teric and AI. You’re right, I don’t like wireless AI but from a retail standpoint (if you understood anything about business), your students want to buy what their Instructor is wearing, easy $1400 sale. Get it now Mr. Anonymous?!?!

Aside from that, get out of my thread and this applies to any other troll as well. I’m legitimately trying to get clarification on what message Garmin put on their watches as it’s a very dangerous message.

Thanks in advance

I don't have to discredit you... you do that to yourself well enough with your contradictory statements. You now say you wear AI computers so you can sell them when you've said previous you don't wear them and never bring them in your store.

But no worries mate, I'll leave "your" public thread on this public forum. You obviously are here to just whine, and can't take criticism. 

Odie, myself, and others have been here since the release of the Descent Mk1. We have been through all of the issues, made suggestions to Garmin for improvements, documented issues/problems, and tried to prod Garmin to better support this product. When the Descent first came out it was borderline unsafe it had so many software issues, but we continued to press Garmin to correct them. The pace of updates has been glacial at best, the communications from Garmin have been largely non-existent. 

I am also a dive instructor, and initially recommended this product to my students. Though now can no longer recommend it due to the poor support from Garmin. Does this make me anti-Garmin? No, it just means I am not a huge fan of how Garmin has supported and developed the Descent. 

I've had the Descent for about a year and a half and initially I was concerned because it's really just a souped up Fenix 3 HR. I was especially concerned whether the buttons would remain watertight. But after about 100 dives I've found it to be reliable and versatile above and below water. So my feelings about the Descent have evolved in a different direction than yours. I still would not use just the descent, but I find it to be the perfect backup to my Perdix.

I am fine with using it as a backup now, still do not fully trust it based on my experience and the complete lack of any transparency from Garmin. I use the Perdix AI as my primary, AI is great for Sidemount as it allows me to see both tank pressures with a quick glance
