@Mrdgr.207 thank you for your comment. Yes, you can track intervals for running. It's an awesome all in one watch for sports and diving that doesn't cost a crazy amount.
Hi @yousafsabir7, thanks for your comment. As I typically wear my Decent G1 Solar all day and everyday, I'm unfortunately not outside in direct sunlight for extended periods to test that. I personally look at the solar charging as a 'bonus' charge when in sunlight as opposed to it being the main primary charging method.
I never even knew this watch existed, when I bought my Instinct 2 Solar Tactical. There doesn't seem much between them. I guess a few dive specific functions, but you could easily dive with the Instinct 2, since it has the same 100M depth rating. If I had known it existed, I'm still not sure which one I would have picked? I do like the Instinct 2. This Descent looks like an Instinct version of the Fenix. Same shape. I'm also not fussed with coloured screens. They are nice but not essential. I still can't get over the amazing battery life on the Instinct. In battery save mode, about 100 days and normal mode about 41 days. Apple watch 2 days or maybe 3 with the Ultra,
Thanks for the comment. I have the 1st generation Instinct Tactical Solar and when Garmin released this watch I bought it for the additional Scuba diving functionality it offers but still has the rugged look and features I like plus I too am not fussed with color screens. Having used both I would say the Instinct watch face is a little bit easier to read as larger numbers for the time most likely as the G1 has more items to display so has to reduce some aspects. Battery life on the G1 is also excellent with using GPS and a bunch of the features on it lasts me about 12 days so not quite a good as the Instinct battery wise again probably using more features but the Apple watch doesn't even compare! Overall, the full dive watch functionality was the big selling point for me even without it having the dive transmitter integration. Anyway, I'm very happy with the Descent G1 Solar :)
No you could not dive with instinct 2 :-). First of all it does not include diving computer, which g1 has! Also 100M depth ratting is missleading. Basically means you can maybe snorkell with it, but not dive(even though this ratting suggests something else!). Its not the same kind of depth ratting diving computer has, more of marketing
@@maciejb2468 Ok. Free dive then :) I'm not really a scuba diver. I did do the course, but mostly I spearfish and free dive. Also spent a lot of years playing Underwater Hockey. No dive computer needed for that. Currently I ocean swim with the watch.
i really love the watch because i use it for all activities, just like instinct. i spearfish and freedive, it’s very dependable too. but, horrible for scuba diving because the screen is so small, almost unusable scuba at night because of the tiny screen plus our human eyes focal range.
Hi @kuang01, thank you for your comment. Yes it's just like the Instinct but has more features especially for Diving. If you find the screen too small especially for night dives, you might want to consider having this as your backup dive computer and then use a larger screen dive computer as your primary. This Garmin Descent G1 is excellent for marking your latitude and longitude positioning when entering the water for your exact dive location which is a feature most of large screen dedicated dive computers don't have.

I want to buy this as a do all watch for my running and diving. Is it able to track intervalls in a run?

Whats the performance of solar charging?
I've heard its not that good.
