Garmin MK3i
The Garmin MK3 series is crafted in a Fiber-Reinforced Polymer watch case with a titanium bezel and comes with a black silicone QuickFit 26 watch strap that can be easily replaced with other colors and materials using Garmin's QuickFit design. The surface is made of a tough and curved sapphire crystal glass. Similarly, the MK3 series comes with an AMOLED touchscreen.
In comparison, the new MK3i uses the same proven Bühlmann ZHL-16c algorithm to ensure that you stay within your diving limits. Selectable sound and vibration alarms will help you maintain control underwater. Above water, MK3i combines the best features from the renowned fēnix® 5X multisport watch, allowing you to benefit from the watch whether you're running, cycling, hiking, playing curling, parachuting, and more.
With its elegant exterior, interchangeable straps, and the ability to change and design your own watch faces, you can seamlessly integrate the watch into your daily life and needs.
