Details
Specializing in open water dive tracking, the Garmin Descent Mk2S GPS Sports Diving Smartwatch delivers a host of fitness and health tracking, along with specialized metrics for diving.
Diving
On each diving trip, the multi-GNSS support lets you track your entry and exit points in the water and can accommodate multiple single and multiple gas dives (including nitrox and trimix). The diving modes can also deliver data on gauge, apnea, apnea hunt, and closed-circuit rebreather dives. If you need to, you can customize a dive mode by showing the specific information fields that you need. Supported by the Garmin Dive app, the Mk2S can store up to 200 dives, letting you review your stats and share them with others.
Sports Apps
Other pre-loaded activity profiles support a wide variety of sports, such as trail running, swimming, running, biking, hiking, rowing, skiing, golfing, and more.
Surfline Compatible
When using an (optional) Surfline camera, the Mk2S can work with it and the Surfline Sessions app on your smartphone to create and save a video of every wave you ride.
Backcountry & XC Skiing
A pre-loaded backcountry skiing profile gives you essential information when out on the mountain. It can tell the difference between skiing and climbing and automatically show you metrics specific to either ascent or descent. If you like to cross-country ski, the Mk2S can work with an (optional) HRM-Pro chest strap to measure actual exercise load.
Mountain Biking
The details of every ride are recorded, in addition to specialized grit and flow measurements that give a rating on trail difficulty and how smoothly you descended.
Health Tracking
Regardless of the exercise or activity you enjoy taking part in, the Descent Mk2S will monitor vital health metrics so that you can see how they affect you in real-time and gauge your body’s response over time. The smartwatch can tell you your VO2 Max, which is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption. Your SpO2 via a Pulse Ox sensor, which tells you your blood oxygen levels, which is essential in calculating altitude acclimation and monitoring sleep. Finally, a wrist-based monitor can tell you your heart rate and HRV (Heart Rate Variability), which is key in calculating your stress level. If you have an (optional) heart rate strap, it can also track you underwater.
Training Metrics
As you train, a variety of metrics are recorded based on your status, performance, and environmental conditions. These include running dynamics, heat- and altitude-adjusted VO2 max, recovery advisor, and more.
Trail Run VO2 Max
Tracks your cardiovascular fitness level and adjusts based on trail conditions.
Recovery Advisor
After each workout, the built-in recovery advisor lets you know how long to rest before putting in another big physical effort.

Sleep Monitoring
