Garmin Descent X50i Power Issue – Unreliable for Diving

[TMurrr]

Indeed, any computer can fail, but I’ve never heard of Shearwater or other reputable brands malfunctioning right out of the box.

It is a brand new line of computers.... as an engineer by day "I would never buy the first of something"

... as a scuba diver, I also own an X50i and moderately complain about its battery life compared to the mk3i on my wrist...

Garmin customer service is excellent, just call them and they'll have a new replacement to you in a couple days.

+1 for Garmin customer service

Everyone raves about Shearwater's customer service, but Garmin is right there and at least equivalent (dare I say better?)
