Garmin, a name synonymous with innovation in the world of tech and outdoor gear, has taken a significant step towards environmental responsibility with its latest offering – the Garmin Descent G1 Solar – Ocean Edition dive computer. This rugged, watch-style dive computer not only promises top-notch performance for both underwater and topside adventures but also showcases Garmin’s commitment to sustainability.
What sets the Descent G1 Solar – Ocean Edition apart is its eco-friendly construction. A remarkable 100 percent of the plastic used for the watch’s housing, bezel, and buttons is sourced from recycled ocean-bound plastics. This is not just a gadget; it’s a testament to how technology can be harnessed to make a positive impact on the environment.
But that’s not all; the Descent G1 Solar – Ocean Edition is a game-changer when it comes to battery life. Thanks to its solar charging lens, divers can explore the depths for up to 25 hours in dive mode and enjoy a staggering 124 days in smartwatch mode when solar charging. This all-in-one device eliminates the need for separate dive computers and smartwatches, making it a versatile companion for both water and land activities.
Garmin’s commitment to the oceans and environmental sustainability is evident in every aspect of this product. It’s a dive computer that not only helps users make the most of their underwater experiences but also carries a meaningful message of responsible innovation.
As Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales, aptly puts it, “We are proud to unveil our first-ever product with parts made from recycled ocean-bound plastics. With the Descent G1 Solar – Ocean Edition, we’re taking materials that were once at risk of harming the ocean habitat and turning them into parts to help create an eco-friendly dive computer that’s made to explore it.”
The Garmin Descent G1 Solar – Ocean Edition is a testament to the company’s commitment to innovation, environmental responsibility, and a passion for exploring the depths of our planet’s oceans.
