Garmin Descent MK2

[Open Ocean Diver]

@stuartv is correct: Ascent Rate.

Thank you … couldn’t find any updates to the manual. Called Garmin and they assumed but wasn’t 100%.

No complaints about the new screen here. Found it by accident the other day before a dive.

Just found out my mk2s (,and the normal mk2) now have a 'big numbers' feature. Havent tried it underwater yet, but looks pretty cool. The normal numbers are alsp fine for me, but i like the look of the big numbers layout as well. And for people with 'ageing eyes' it could be a real benefit!

Cool, I have not noticed the feature before. It’s strange that it’s a bit hidden, I would expect that to be straight under dive settings.

Yeah i stumbled upon it when i looked for the changes in the latest updat (v.20.10?) online and saw a thread 'big numbers' and thought, what is that. And then i saw it also in my own watch. Musthave been in one of the Software updates before this one. Given the fact that many people are weary of a watchsized computer for difficulty reading i would assume thet would have marketed this more. If you buy one now i doubt the salesman will know its possible....

It was hidden on the Mk2i under Single-Gas.

I'm looking at the MK2s as a daily wear, just thinking the MK2 is a little too big for me. Love to know how people find the "big numbers" on the MK2s when diving. My aging eyes just need a little help. I wasn't even considering the MK2s until the "big numbers" became an option. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Following for exactly the same reason. I’d love to see a photo of the screen in Big Number format if anyone has one. Can’t seem to find anything online.

I like them. I don't need them and normally dive r

egular numbers. But big numbers gives you everything you need and really makes it easier. I use the watch on holidays or around the house for daily wear. But not in the office.

Thanks. Maybe a silly question, but do you know if deco ceiling and stop time also show in Big Number format. Obviously screen real estate will be restricted, but I assume it just replaces NDL. Ta

Yes they do. Checkout my deco video.
