Great watch for active outdoors humans
I found the Garmin platform to be less intuitive than my older Apple Watch, but just took a little getting used to. I love the feature that you can track where you've been on the GPS. I also am a huge fan of the touchscreen - it's definitely a necessary upgrade to the watch (imo) as I had an older version of the Forerunner 935 and would always try to make it a touchscreen lol. I love the color combo too - kinda a brassy color with a an off white band is not too flash but much better than just a black watch. Notifications for messages are kind of a pain - you have to allow messages to come across on your phone without any muting for it to show up on your watch. This isn't a this watch specific thing, I think it's a Garmin thing.

Excellent watch
Purchased 2 weeks ago, still looking to play with all of the features. Getting to know which button to click to get to certain features is still a work in progress.

Great watch/dive computer!
I initially bought the Garmin Mk3i 43mm as a backup to my ginormous Mares Genius dive computer. The more I wore my Garmin, the more I liked all its everyday functionality. I ordered the 43mm version because I have smaller wrists; however, I just sent it back and got the 51mm version which doesn’t look too big and I can read the data under water much easier. I’ve received many favorable comments from people who don’t even know it’s a dive watch. Extremely happy with my Garmin!

Excellent
Exactly what I expected from Garmin, another excellent watch. I love the touch screen and the 43mm size comparted to the 52mm is very nice. The 52mm is a great watch but you bang it on everything due to the size. I only wish the battery life on this watch was a little better.

I purchased my Mk3i after my dive vacation last November to Raja Ampat. I already had the first MK1, but was excited to get the air integration with the new Mk3i, Used it on my last vacation in April in Maldives. Great computer. easy to read and adjust settings. less hoses.

The battery last forever!
I ordered the galexy ultra watch when it came out and after waiting for ever for Android to make a ultra watch with a watch that was diver friendly i was super disappointed! So i gave that one to my mom and took a chance on the mk3i after watching a few reviews. There is not alot of information about this watch on features that are not dive related. But let me reassure you it does everything the other smart watches do. The notifications music controller... the only 2 things i have found that it lacks is the ability to call due to no microphone and it will not tell me my phones battery level. The other gripe i had is how hard it was to find bands for this. I wanted a nicer titanium band and only really found one..... overall inam happy with it and love being able to go well over a week on a single chage.

Best fitness watch if you're a diver
Can't beat Garmin technology, so many cool features like subwave messaging, being able to use a transmitter to see your tank pressures, as well as tracking so many metrics during your diving.
also makes for a great fitness watch, track your hiking, cardio, golf, tennis, you name it, you can track it!

Great
awesome watch, but should have gotten the 51mm. some features missing with the Smaller size. use it for everything from Whitewater kayaking, free diving, cycling and rock climbing. everything works great, accuracy is pretty good for on wrist tracking. the interface is not very intuitive but it takes some time to get used to it. over all id recommend this for anyone who's an all sports performance person.

From the mountain top to the depths of the ocean and every day in-between
Awesome watch that works for everyday use as well as your wildest adventures. From scuba diving in Bonaire to the high mountains, and every bike ride, hike, and day in-between this watch gives you what you need without being to large for comfortable wear. This watch only ever leaves my wrist to charge once a week.

love love love
I recently purchased the Garmin MK3i, primarily because I was looking for a device that could track my sleep and heart rate, and also serve as an upgrade for my dive computer. After using it for a while, I can confidently say that it has exceeded my expectations in many ways.
First and foremost, I love how the Garmin MK3i looks on my wrist. The sleek and modern design not only makes it a functional piece of technology but also a stylish accessory. It feels sturdy and well-made, which is exactly what you want from a high-end smartwatch.
The MK3i is packed with features. The sleep tracking is incredibly detailed, providing insights into the quality of my rest, including the different sleep stages. The heart rate monitor is accurate and helps me keep an eye on my cardiovascular health throughout the day.
One of the standout features for me is the workout tracking. Whether I’m running, cycling, or doing a gym session, the MK3i tracks all my activities with impressive accuracy. The data it provides is comprehensive and helps me understand my performance and progress over time.
As someone who enjoys diving, the upgrade on the dive computer is a significant benefit. The dive mode is intuitive and provides all the critical information needed underwater, making my dives safer and more enjoyable.
Although I’m thrilled with my purchase, I must admit that there is still a lot to learn. The sheer number of features can be overwhelming at first, and it takes time to explore and understand everything the watch offers. However, the effort is well worth it, as each feature adds significant value to the overall experience.
Overall, the Garmin MK3i is an excellent investment for anyone looking for a multifunctional smartwatch that excels in fitness tracking and diving capabilities. Its elegant design, robust build, and extensive feature set make it a standout device. While there is a learning curve, the rewards are worth it. I highly recommend the Garmin MK3i to anyone in the market for a high-quality smartwatch.

Great all around watch. Horrible sleep tracker
This thing is incredible with how much it can do. However, I don’t think it really does any one thing all that great. The dive features are fantastic. I feel like it’s a dive watch first and a smart watch second. But for the price, this thing should blow the Apple Watch away plus be a fantastic dive watch. My biggest complaint is the sleep tracking. It’s useless which throws off your dive readiness and your training readiness. Having come from the Apple Watch Ultra. I will certainly miss the accuracy of the sleep tracking.

Looks Great - Battery Life is Amazing
I give it a 3 not because of the watch itself but because there is no way to transfer my dive logs to the Garmin Dive app from the Current Dive app I use and my Current Dive app will not connect with the watch. to have to enter every one of my dives manually into the Garmin Dive app is EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT, BUT the watch is Gorgeous and I Love it.

MK3i Superstar
I upgraded from the Garmin Epix 2 in order to add the dive features. I've done a couple of dives and have the T1 transmitter as well and LOVE the set up! It gives me all the vital info I need and works perfectly. I love having all the same features for my daily work outs and activities plus having the ability to dive with this computer! Super happy!

Great features! However still having some issues
I bought this watch because I am an active scuba diver and active sailor. There are many things I like about the Mk 3i (43mm) and many things I do not like. I wish the watch would automatically going into sleep mode, the battery life is not as good as advertised. Watch seems glitchy at times and when on do not disturb mode at night it will still buzz with notifications. I am not sure if I have a defective unit or not.

Multiple features
I love that this dive computer not only is easy to use diving, but that it has multiple features to be used when I'm not in the water to help track my health & exercise. It's definitely worth the investment.

I'm so excited!
I demoed an earlier version of this watch for my local dive shop when I did my checkout dive because they knew I was a pretty avid Garmin device user, and I LOVED everything about it except the size. The watch made my dainty, little wrists look like twigs, so I knew it'd never be a watch I'd use very often. I've waited patiently for this smaller version with the transmitter option & it looks GREAT in person. The functionality is perfect & the screen size is great for me. Cannot wait to use it on a dive!

This watch does almost everything
Initially the high price chased me off from the descent series, but then I realized they were actually a good deal compared to the cost of a technical dive computer and a topo GPS smartwatch. The 200m depth rating introduced in the mk3 series allows me to to use it on all my dives.
The 43mm size works out great. Its small and light enough that I don't notice it's there, and it doesn't snag or get in the way. The screen is easy to read and has plenty of detail. I think the higher resolution and AMOLED display really help here.
The watch is so full of features it's easier to describe what it doesn't do. It doesn't have its own cellular or satellite link, but that's about it.
I recommend getting the bungee wrist attachment for diving because the silicone wrist strap can become loose and slip off as your wetsuit compresses at depth.
My only complaint is that while there are many watch faces available, there are none that have everything I want to see. I really wish Garmin would develop an app or webtool that allows you to build your own watch face, instead of having to learn Monkey C.
Overall I am extremely happy with this product

Fantastic and Gorgeous watch - Garmin for the win.
I have been a long time Fenix and Epix user, but was looking for something with a beefier look to it without jumping to the 47mm watch. I think the Mk3i is extremely aesthetically pleasing. My main sports are running, alpine skiing, and biking so the dive component is significant overkill, but the EPIX is amazing, so it was an easy decision. I love this watch.

Best thing since sliced Bread!
Purchased this about a month ago and I already love it. I've always loved Garmin watches. I recently had the Fenix 6 and a separate dive computer, and I've been waiting a year for Garmin to release the Mk3i and couldn't be happier. I have only got in some pool time with the Mk3i with a trip planned next month to see how it does.

Great watch
I recieved one of the first black titanium Mk3i 43mm available on the market in the USA. So far it's been a great watch and I'm still learning new features. I haven't been diving with it yet but I hope to change that soon!
