I'm looking at getting a Shearwater or Garmin G1 and had some questions if anyone had some info. The G1 seems to be a better deal as its a smartwatch and can be used for day to day life. However, I see online that many people have had Garmin dive watches fail during dives regardless of the model. Does anyone have any insights on the reliability of a Garmin, specifically the G1? The overall functionality of the G1 seems appealing but am aware that Shearwaters are the preffered brand, and value reliablity over all else. Cheers.
