I’ve been using the Garmin Descenta MK1 for a few months now, and it has been a game-changer for my diving adventures. The feature I like the most is the built-in altimeter, which provides accurate pressure readings. However, I wish it came with a USB cable to charge it.

One thing I’m really not too happy about is how the mineral glass window scratches easily, especially when I use it outdoors near the coast. Does this affect the overall accuracy of the device?
