Review: Uso diario. - Lo compre para bucear pero tambien es muy util en el dia a dia y la bateria le dura mucho (15 dias minimo). Review: Great battery life - I'm an occasional (one or two trips per year) single-gas recreational diver, and I wanted an all-purpose activity, health and sleep tracking watch that could also serve as a solid backup dive computer. I was coming from an Apple watch that needed charging at least every 24 hours, which finally got too annoying. I'm 10 days in with this G1 now and am loving it so far. I haven't plugged this watch in since bringing it to a full charge after unboxing it, and it's still telling me I have six days, or 25 percent, battery life left. The solar charging capability is pretty nifty -- I was out in the sun a lot this weekend, and my battery level was exactly the same this morning (Monday) as it was when I woke up on Saturday. The activity/health/sleep tracking seems pretty accurate so far. The watch feels well-made and looks good on my wrist (in my opinion). No complaints with it yet. The big caveat is that I haven't had a chance to dive with it yet. I have dives upcoming over the next three months, so I will edit my review once I've had the watch in the water. I have checked out the dive functions, and it seems well thought out, with all the info I need displayed clearly in large type on three screens that you can cycle through by double-tapping the watch face. As long as it functions at depth the way it has while learning it on land, and as long as it's as readable underwater as it appears it will be, it should be a great dive watch as well. Update: I just did four dives with the G1, using it as a backup to my Shearwater Peregrine. It was great. Screen visibility was excellent despite the small watch face. I’m starting to need readers in low light situations these days, so this was my main concern. But the display was crystal clear and perfectly readable. The recreation dive screens are well designed. G1 uses the same decompression algorithm as my Shearwater, and the dive data in both logs was the same. ## Features - Rugged dive computer and smartwatch with a solar charging lens, easy-to-read monochrome display and QuickFit bands so you can change your style in a second - Battery life: up to 25 hours in dive mode, 4 months in smartwatch mode with solar charging in 3 hours of direct sunlight (50,000 lux) per day and 39 hours in GPS mode with solar charging continuously in direct sunlight (50,000 lux) - Track your activities with more than 30 built-in sports apps and advanced training features such as VO2 max, so you can see how your body is adapting to training - 24/7 wrist-based HR, Pulse Ox, Body Battery energy monitoring, sleep score and more give you insights into your health and wellness telling you when to slow down and take breaks (this device is intended to give an estimate of your activity and metrics. Pulse Ox not available in all countries; it is not a medical device.). - International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09RR12WVK | | Band Colour | Black | | Battery Average Life | 25 Hours | | Battery Capacity | 4 | | Battery capacity | 4 | | Best Sellers Rank | 469 in Mobile Phone Solar Chargers | | Box Contents | Descent G1 Solar, xl adjustment strap, charging cable, documentation | | Brand Name | Garmin | | Case Material Type | Resin | | Clasp Type | Buckle | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Smartphone | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth, USB, Wi-Fi | | Connectivity technology | Bluetooth, USB, Wi-Fi | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 111 Reviews | | Display Type | LCD, LED | | External Testing Certification | Não aplicável | | GPS Geotagging Functionality | Built-in GPS | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00753759283421 | | Human Interface Input | Buttons | | Item Dimensions | 45 x 45 x 15 millimetres | | Item Type Name | Dive Watch | | Item Weight | 66 Grams | | Manufacturer | Garmin | | Memory Storage Capacity | 32 GB | | Memory storage capacity | 32 GB | | Model Name | DescentTM G1 | | Model Number | 010-02604-02 | | Operating System | Android & iOS | | Operating system | Android & iOS | | Product Features | Bluetooth | | Resolution | 240 x 240 | | Screen Size | 1.27 Inches | | Special feature | Bluetooth | | Sport Type | Diving, Exercise & Fitness, Swimming | | Style Name | Descent G1 Solar | | Supported Application | GPS, Sleep Monitor | | Supported Satellite Navigation System | GPS | | Target Audience | Unisex Adults | | UPC | 753759283421 375375928342 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Water Resistance Depth | 100 Metres | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | | Wearable Computer Type | Smart Watch | | Wireless Compability | Bluetooth | | Wireless Provider | du | | Wireless communication standard | Bluetooth | ## Product Details - **Audio output mode:** Monaural - **Battery life:** 25 Hours - **Brand:** Garmin - **Connectivity technology:** Bluetooth, USB, Wi-Fi - **Included components:** Descent G1 Solar, xl adjustment strap, charging cable, documentation - **Map type:** North America - **Model name:** DescentTM G1 - **Screen size:** 1.27 Inches - **Special feature:** Bluetooth - **Vehicle service type:** Boat ## Images ![Descent™ G1 Solar, Rugged Dive Computer with Solar Charging Capabilities, Multiple Dive Modes, Activity Tracking, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614TA-nnJwL.jpg) ![Descent™ G1 Solar, Rugged Dive Computer with Solar Charging Capabilities, Multiple Dive Modes, Activity Tracking, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XPS-Q4IYL.jpg) ![Descent™ G1 Solar, Rugged Dive Computer with Solar Charging Capabilities, Multiple Dive Modes, Activity Tracking, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wseAlmQBL.jpg) ![Descent™ G1 Solar, Rugged Dive Computer with Solar Charging Capabilities, Multiple Dive Modes, Activity Tracking, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71EPhHGag6L.jpg) ![Descent™ G1 Solar, Rugged Dive Computer with Solar Charging Capabilities, Multiple Dive Modes, Activity Tracking, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61C6NXNthrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Uso diario. *by B***O on 12 December 2025* Lo compre para bucear pero tambien es muy util en el dia a dia y la bateria le dura mucho (15 dias minimo). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great battery life *by J***H on 18 April 2022* I'm an occasional (one or two trips per year) single-gas recreational diver, and I wanted an all-purpose activity, health and sleep tracking watch that could also serve as a solid backup dive computer.

Yes its a black and white screen but it looks like a watch not like a mini iPhone strapped on your wrist. The scuba application starts automatically as soon as you start descending and its clear and accurate in the water. ## Frequently Bought Together - Garmin Descent™ G1 Solar, Rugged Dive Computer with Solar Charging Capabilities, Multiple Dive Modes, Activity Tracking, Black - IPG for Garmin Descent G1 Hydrogel Screen Protector (2 Units) Invisible HD Clear Film Anti Scratch Guard-Smooth/Self-Healing/Bubble for G1 - TUSITA Charger Compatible with Garmin Descent Mk1 Mk2 Mk2i Mk2S Mk3i X50i G1 G2 Solar, 1M - GPS Smartwatch Accessories --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/412286463-descent-g1-solar-rugged-dive-computer-with-solar-charging-capabilities](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/412286463-descent-g1-solar-rugged-dive-computer-with-solar-charging-capabilities) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-13*
