Garmin has released the Descent X10, a dedicated wrist-mounted dive computer.
The X10 supports single-gas scuba, apnea and gauge profiles with air or nitrox mixes from 21–40% oxygen. Garmin specifies a Bühlmann ZHL-16c decompression model with gradient factors.
A 2.1-inch monochrome MIP display delivers 320 × 240 pixel resolution. Garmin rates the unit to a maximum operating depth of 100 metres—an equipment specification rather than a recommended recreational diving limit.
The company claims up to 50 hours of dive mode operation or six months in standby from the rechargeable battery.
Features include NDL Aware, which displays how depth changes affect no-decompression limits, plus a dive simulator and settings sharing through the Garmin Dive app. Bluetooth links the computer to the app for dive logs. Location recording uses the paired app. The X10 is not an independent GPS navigation device.
Rental mode allows dive operators to configure units for different users and reset them between customers, giving the launch practical relevance for schools and charter businesses.
Garmin lists dimensions of 56.4 × 72.2 × 20.2mm and a weight of 130g with bands. Standard box contents include a hinged silicone dive band, charging/data cable and documentation. Optional bezel guards are available at additional cost.
The company states that all plastic in the housing and bezel is recycled ocean-bound plastic, though this claim applies to those components rather than the entire device.
The Descent X10 launched internationally on 3 November 2026.
