The Garmin Descent G2 shifts the series away from traditional memory-in-pixel screens to a self-emissive, high-contrast AMOLED layout, vastly improving real-time data readability at significant depths and in dark underwater environments. Designed with eco-conscious materials, 100% of the plastic utilized in its housing, bezel, and buttons is sourced from recycled ocean-bound plastics. The watch features high-grade, fully leakproof buttons that earn it an EN13319 certification and a robust 10 ATM dive-ready rating, making it safe for exploration down to depths of 100 meters.
