Perfect Gift, Fits His Vibe, Always Wears It

Got this for my boyfriends birthday he loves it doesn’t take it off and fit with his vibe

Previous watch was a Phoenix 5

Previous watch was a Phoenix 5. Got this watch as my backup dive computer, and it has worked exceptionally well. My primary Suunto computer, which is air integrated to monitor PSI, and for easy underwater visibility, is what I look at underwater. But I have the Garmin Descent as a backup, and also for recording and downloading the dive details, as the download process is very simple via Bluetooth, and the dive interface is much easier to use on my iPhone or iPad to review the details of the dive, attach pictures/video, and record important information about the dive. When outdoors in the sun, solar charging works, and generally with a full charge, the watch will last up to 19 days without recharge. I’ve used it on approximately 200 dives around the world, to a depth of 180 feet. Also useful for step count, sleep stats, and other fitness information, as it has the Garmin Phoenix fitness programming. Love it, and my best dive computer purchase, even though it my back up computer.

Is great having a device

Is great having a device which records both my dives and my health for a decent price. Not really to spend a grand on the fancier model or two grand for air integration. Syncs with both the apps readily and is easy to use. Looks exactly as advertised. Fits smaller wrists well too, which was the biggest fear - it may look and feel too large like standalone dive computers.

Overall the watch is great

Overall the watch is great, I wear it every day, only taking it off for cleaning and charging. The battery life is sometimes advertised at upward of a year, which while it is achievable, with normal use (phone connected, inside most of the day, HR monitor enabled, etc.) 15-30 days is a much more realistic gap between needing to charge. This will be further shortened using the dive computer or GPS. I have found that the solar charging is fairly slow and probably won't be worth it for most people, specifically people with indoor jobs and/or hobbies. for people who go out a lot, like construction jobs or hobbies like long camping trips or boating where there is lots of sun, it is viable and can noticeably extend battery life. if you turn off things like connecting to a phone, HR monitor, and pulse oximeter, you can extend the battery life to its commercial length and with solar charging can get near indefinite battery life if you try. However that isn't practical for most users, and while I would recommend this watch, I wouldn't base your purchase on the self claimed battery life.
