Interesting. Of course, it has been removed. Too late Garmin, too late.

Four computers, the S versions features AI. I don't see a solar version, which makes me wonder if the screens are AMOLED. The repair prices are also very high, I wonder what else these machines are packing.

Anyway, if the repair prices are already set, I think it's a matter of a few days to announcement and release.

I don't use AI (although I am very interested), and have 4 Petrel 1s. I am not interested in getting a Garmin computer because it wouldn't work well with my tech diving (I need a massive screen!). But I use Garmin as my sports and health tracking watch, and I am a bit familiar with how releases have been done in the past years. Garmin is very discreet and usually manages to stop leaks (very detrimental for their business model) - they announce very suddenly and quickly follow with a release. I think DEMA will be interesting for Garmin, one month from now.

let's see if it justifies (in a logical pov probably not) to upgrade from a mk2. I would like to have amoled and a slighly smaller size, similar to epix 2.

It doesn't say much really. These apply to the current MK2, MK2s, and G1.

It should be revealed in DEMA...

Now that's interesting! Thanks for sharing. confirms that we might be looking at a release this month - although the last time in April nothing followed. On the other hand, why rebate for G1? It's confusing, especially that it has been selling quite well.

Classic Garmin move, just further confirms that we might be looking at a release this month - although the last time in April nothing followed. On the other hand, why rebate for G1? It's confusing, especially that it has been selling quite well.

While there probably will be a release later this month. The rebate doesn't necessarily signal that it's coming. They offer a similar rebate fairly regularly. I picked up my MK2s back in May or June last year when the rebate was on. G1 was included as well, and it was the new model at the time.
