OLATHE, Kan./June 2, 2021/Business Wire – Garmin International, Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), today announced the Descent Mk2S, its smallest watch-style dive computer – ideal for women and those with smaller wrists – designed for everyday wear and maximum functionality. Packed with innovative dive technology and Garmin’s most sought-after built-in activity sports profiles and wellness features, the Descent Mk2S is a tool with unmatched versatility for both below and above the surface.

Dive ready

For underwater adventures, the Descent Mk2S is a full-featured dive computer with support for multiple dive modes for single and multiple gas dives (including nitrox, trimix and 100% O2), gauge, apnea, apnea hunt and closed-circuit rebreather. Mk2S will mark entry and exit points in the water using multi-GNSS satellite support and includes an underwater 3-axis compass. Divers can view depth, dive time, temperature, NDL/TTS, ascent/descent rates, gas mix, PO2, N2 loading, decompression/safety stop information, time-of-day and more, right on the wrist. Users can quickly customize their dive modes by selecting additional screens that feature the fields they’d like to see.

Wellness tracking and smart features

When not diving, the Descent Mk2S doubles as a premium multisport GPS smartwatch with all-day health monitoring, built-in sports apps and more. Descent Mk2S introduces Garmin’s industry leading women’s health features including menstrual cycle tracking and pregnancy tracking, as well as all-day respiration and advanced sleep monitoring, which estimates light, deep and REM stages of sleep. Upon awakening, users can review their Sleep Score and Insights on the watch to see whether they are getting the quality sleep they need to feel rested and recharged.

When paired with a compatible smartphone, receive notifications for calls, texts and calendar alerts right on the wrist, Garmin Pay™ for contactless payments and music storage.

Sports apps and advanced metrics

Packed with preloaded sports apps for running, swimming, cycling, strength training, skiing, golfing and more, the Descent Mk2S will monitor and track all essential information. These sport profiles have expanded to now include surfing and indoor climbing, plus advanced training metrics for multiple activities.

When paired with a compatible Garmin inReach satellite communicator at the surface, users can send and receive messages quickly from the Descent Mk2S watch and when necessary, trigger an interactive SOS.

Descent Mk2S features a 1.2-inch sunlight readable sapphire display, 43 mm case and interchangeable QuickFit^® bands in silicone, leather, metal and nylon. Available in three colorways – light gold with light sand silicone band, carbon gray DLC with black silicone band and mineral blue with sea foam silicone band – all can be customized with interchangeable QuickFit bands to suit any activity or style.
