OLATHE, Kan. – November 03, 2026 -- Garmin's new Descent X10 dive computer is available now for a suggested retail price of $349.99, putting depth, time and oxygen data on a 2.1-inch backlit screen on the diver's wrist.

The always-on, high-contrast display uses large text and a backlight. Garmin says this keeps dive data readable in harsh sunlight on the boat and in dimmer conditions under water.

Three dive modes and a 50-hour battery

Descent X10 offers scuba, apnea and gauge modes, so divers can see the data that matters most for each kind of dive. The device is rated to 10 ATM. Its rechargeable battery delivers up to 50 hours of dive time and up to 6 months in standby mode.

NDL Aware depth metrics show divers in real time how specific depth changes affect their no-decompression limit, which can help extend bottom time. Divers who carry a backup can sync their settings across multiple compatible Descent dive computers.

Colorado Springs -- RepFlex Goalkeeping is taking preorders from November 11, 2026, for REACT, weighted goalkeeper training gloves that add resistance to ordinary drills.

Resistance runs through the fingers, backhand and wrist

The patent-pending gloves use RFX-6 CORE, RepFlex's proprietary resistance system. A flexible weighted matrix extends through the fingers, full backhand and a 360-degree wrist structure, spreading the load while allowing natural hand movement. The build also includes full backhand padding for impact protection and added wrist stability.

Keepers train without an anchor or tether

RepFlex calls the approach free-motion resistance. The extra demand travels with the goalkeeper through catches, dives, extensions, punches, distribution and recoveries, so players can change direction and hand position freely. The company says the gloves are designed to help build strength, speed, power and technical control.
