Garmin x50i Dive Computer

[Couponman]

I'm looking for information on whether the new Garmin X50i will pair with a Garmin T1 transmitter or is a T2 mandatory for it to transmit tank pressures? Conflicting info on the web about this.

Just a guess — I think it would be backwards compatible; but not on “all features” that the T1 can’t assist on (like the buddy air guage)

I’d wait till boot25 for more info to trickle down (unless there’s an awesome preorder deal that’s infront of you through some pre-market channel)

Edit: I also suggest we merge this with other threads that started during dema about the x50 to keep info easily accessible to potential “customers”; OP is that ok for you?

Anyone notice that the new Garmin X50i has Bailout TTS as an available field? I sure hope Shearwater finally responds to this frequent request!

Given that the Mk3 (released with the T2) enables the full capabilities of the T1 as well as the T2, I suspect the X50i will too.

You only need one T2 to get all the capabilities of the T2 (I sidemount with one T1 and one T2).

It is compatible with the T1:

Agree w/ others above. It is compatible. This link explains the features available with the various computer/transceiver combos. Garmin Dive Computer and SubWave Network Air Integration Transmitter Compatibility | Garmin Customer Support

@Mobulai thanks for the welcome! FYI, I spoke directly to the Garmin team and and the T1 transmitter will pair with the X50i but features like under water comms will not work (fine w me!)
