100% of the plastic used to make the G1 Solar - Ocean Edition housing, bezel and buttons comes from recycled ocean-bound plastics. Its eco-friendly construction shows support for marine life preservation efforts.

Featuring an easy-to-read, high-contrast display and 45mm watch case, the G1 Series is purpose built for SCUBA diving in both form and function. Depth rated to { 330 fsw | 100 msw } with leakproof inductive buttons and a sapphire lens, the Descent G1 Series is rugged and ready. The Descent series includes mixed-gas decompression dive computer functionality in a premium smartwatch with activity profiles, performance metrics and smart notifications. The Descent high-resolution transflective memory-in-pixel (MIP) monochrome display assures readability in all dive conditions including bright sunlight. The included SOLAR charging feature may extend Smartwatch Mode battery life up to 4 months with daily exposure to 3 hours of 50,000 lux or greater daylight.

Once underwater, the Bühlmann ZHL-16C decompression algorithm with user configurable Gradient Factors allows individual control of your dive computer decompression calculations and stop depths. Full color graphics plus tone and vibration alerts help keep you informed while you’re submerged. During a decompression dive, the Descent can provide time-to-surface based on "look ahead" at planned gas switches along with current ceiling and stop time. Multiple gas definition presets are supported with any combination of air, nitrox, trimix and oxygen. For technical dives, the Descent is user configurable to NOT "lockout" after a missed stop. Even underwater (if worn next to the skin), the Descent is able to measure and display your actual heartbeat rate.

On land, the Descent also functions as a robust training and outdoor companion. The Descent G1 Series delivers a multitude of wellness features including advanced sleep monitoring with sleep score and features a variety of built-in indoor and GPS sports apps with favorites that include swimming, hiking, running, cycling, golf, yoga and surfing. With the integrated Surfline Widget, surfers will see a visual representation of tide information, wave height, wind, and surf quality rating right on the wrist. The G1 Series will track and measure performance with Garmin’s full suite of advanced fitness features. Thanks to built-in Bluetooth, it supports notifications from a paired smartphone.
