I think that’s cheap. It’s a dive computer and all kinds of other things.

I would tend to agree with you for what you get. I had no issues shelling out $1,000 for a Garmin Epix 2 when I considered what I was getting. If the Ultra can last more than 2 complete days on a charge, I will sell my Epix.

Spend $300 less and with that savings spend $20 to get a little portable battery to charge it with while you sleep in your tent above the underground cavern lake you plan to scuba dive in.

Somewhere in this thread (or maybe the Garmin page because they are talking about the watch) I mention I only use about 15% of the Epix features if that lol…it tracks my weightlifting, sleep and daily health stats..that’s it lol…I have no plans to ever go diving or hiking
