Just bought the Garmin MK1 last week and wondering if I should return it for a dive watch that has an AI feature. Thoughts?

I own both a Descent and a Teric. One tracks me through the day as well as my position entering and exiting the water and the latter tracks my air pressure. Both are pretty cool PDCs and can be configured with the same algorithms. Together, they provide perfect complimentary redundancy that always agree with each other in regard to NDT as well as Deco.
I don't think it's better or worse, unless cost is your biggest factor in your purchase decision...then it's worse! To me, if you're going to go through the trouble of buying something small form factor, it makes sense to exploit every benefit that small form factor provides you, which means eliminating a hose through the use of AI.
