Delivery delayed

How many people have an order postponed by 8 weeks?
MK3i 51 mm ordered on the day of release is not available until January... Really disappointed...

Mine shipped today. I ordered it shortly before the announcement email went out. I’m in the US (Hawaii).

Hello, I ordered the mk3i 51 mm without transmitter 3 days ago at the Garmin physical store in Madrid, Spain. And they still haven't told me a delivery date and on the Garmin website it says that it will take between 3 and 5 weeks. Someone can contribute more. thank you

Looks like production issue on Garmin side.
Last Monday I've called Garmin asking can I use my Fenix 3 in their trade in trade up program and I got positive answer.
Made my decision yesterday, called them again and now got answer that in general yes byt need to wait because new Descent is not yet included into that program and it should be possible up to 6 weeks.

The best information I gave provide everyone looking for a new Descent Mk3 series watch - is to go through a retail store if Garmin direct is out of inventory.

We have a handful of warehouses around the world but in comparison to vendors selling our products, there are hundreds of vendors worldwide.

Initially, after a new device is released, you will be more likely to acquire through a vendor vs. through us directly. We will have a handful in stock but we can get more devices in hands worldwide if the hundreds of vendors have them first.

I hope everyone receives their new watches soon!!!

Hi Chris.
Good advice but in Poland there is no store selling Descent MK3i, for me only option is to order it in Garmin on line store.
Second, trade in trade up is possible only through official Garmin channel.

I have ordered on the november 16th, and the estimated shipping days were 5-7. As I have a diving trip next week, I sold mine as I would have 3 weeks to received and should have more than enough time. Now they sent me an e-mail that the estimated date would be 12 of january, Great!!! now I do not have a computer for the diving trip. I understand that you do not have stock, but do not accept orders with estimated shipping of 5-7 days when it is 5 to 7 weeks!!!!

Personally, I've just cancelled my order for a local shop that's receiving them this week.

Does anyone know where you can get it other than the Garmin website and do they have stock? thank you

For many people in Europe, it's January 2024.

I remember ordering the mk2 on the October 21st 2020 (day it was out), surprisingly in the very next day, it was on my wrist...
