Wrist-based dive computer features a vibrant 3″ colour touchscreen display, backup dive light, air integration, diver-to-diver messaging and more
Southampton, UK/November 19, 2024/PR Newswire – Garmin (NYSE: GRMN) today announced Descent™ X50i, its largest dive computer with a vivid 3″ colour touchscreen display. Using SubWave™ sonar technology, divers can use Descent X50i to communicate with one another underwater and monitor each other’s tank pressure, depth and distance to keep tabs on one another when visibility may be limited. And they can explore greater depths with an integrated backup dive light, 20 ATM dive rating and leakproof metal buttons.
“Whether scuba diving, cave diving or seeking out shipwrecks, we know how important it is to have the most accurate data at all times. Featuring a big, bright display and 20 ATM dive rating, the new Descent X50i is the perfect dive computer for technical divers and a great option for recreational divers who want to clearly see key stats and critical information while exploring the underwater landscape.”–Dan Bartel, Garmin Vice President of Global Consumer Sales
Dive-focused design
Boasting a vibrant 3″ colour display, Descent X50i makes it easier to read more data at a glance. The touchscreen helps make setup simple and is great for navigating maps and settings to prepare for the next adventure. To take on the most technical dives, Descent X50i includes a strong sapphire lens, leakproof metal buttons and a backup dive light that is bright enough to be used while underwater. Dual elastic bands fit comfortably and securely around the wrist and feature buckles with an arrowhead attachment for easy one-handed closure while an adjustment lock can prevent slipping.
