GarminDescent™ G1 Solar Dive GPS Smartwatch

About

The Garmin Descent G1 Solar is a rugged, versatile dive‑computer smartwatch designed for people who live both above and below water - offering dive profiles for recreational and technical diving, plus full smartwatch and multisport functions for life on land. Whether you’re scuba diving, freediving, spearfishing or exploring, the Descent G1 Solar combines water‑ready durability (to 100 m), dive‑specific tools and data logging with everyday features like GPS tracking, activity and health monitoring, and smart notifications.

The “Solar” versions include a solar‑charging lens, designed to extend battery life significantly when exposed to sunlight - making the watch well-suited for long diving trips, outdoor adventures, or extended everyday use with minimal charging.

• Dive logging & history: stores up to 200 dives; logs dive details for later review in compatible app.
• Solar‑charging capability: with the “Solar” lens, battery life extends significantly under sunlight.

• Smartwatch and multisport mode support: outside diving the watch functions like a full smartwatch - tracking fitness, health, outdoor activities, plus general features like time/date, alarms, notifications (when paired with smartphone).
• Long battery life: dive mode, GPS mode, and smartwatch mode are all optimised - with solar charging extending endurance.
• Customizable dive screens and data fields: choice of what dive data to display, per dive mode.
