Wow! First, I'm so glad to see you featured this!! I wish I was at the show myself... maybe one year I'll make it. We're very proud and pleased Shearwater divers BUT it's hard to ignore what these folks at Garmin are doing with the MK3i. Having the MK2i was fantastic enough, but now all this!!? The transmitter range, ability to monitor your buddies gas pressure and depth, and messaging alone is enough to sell me. It's getting harder now to justify having a "diving only" computer with all these features... even at these very steep prices.

As a shearwater Perdix and Perdix 2 owner, I admit this is super compelling. I have the Apple Watch for my daily watch that’s about 4 years old, but the Mk3i makes me really consider a change. I want the activity tracking so I considered the Apple Watch ultra or ultra 2, but now idk! Glad to have covered it and I’m hoping they send me a Mk3i and maybe mk2i as well so I can compare and review after in water testing!

@rafael6693 I agree, though I think @souswes is referring to when you have that new open water diver that doesn’t realize you’re asking for gas pressure because they’ve only done checkout dives.

As a Diving Instructor, I don't like this feature. If people doesn't care about signals, nor will it make them check messages on the diving computer. For me, this option is completely pointless and unnecessary. I don't go underwater to receive messages on my smartwatch xD

The AMOLED is very nice. I’m hoping to get my hands on one for a comparison video some time soon, if I can convince Garmin to send me them!

So the messaging goes through the transceiver, (the new T2 transceiver). So you HAVE to have the hardware for air integration to use it. I don't think it's just a software thing unfortunately, so I would say no, it won't be getting it.

If you google “20 atm depth” you’ll see that’s a common way to rate watch depth for 200m water resistance. It’s 20 ATM Gauge pressure, not absolute pressure, so at 10m it’s 1 ATM gauge, 2 ATM absolute.

As a dive master with the mk2i I see this a a escape goat to checking on buddy’s but this will make divers lazy with the signaling and also that your buddy should be in your sight at all times also has the exact same features and little gimics to justify a price increase

The message feature I can see being useful in some cases. Not so much teaching open water or even most of the main track of classes but maybe some specialties.
