Used recently for the first time on dives in Barbados. Easy to use, dive mode activated on water entry. Gave me all the info I needed, max depth/current depth and elapsed dive time etc and the ascent warning feature worked fine.
Replaced a 15 year old Suunto Gekko which had failed and was apparently beyond repair.
The full instruction manual is available on internet and this seems a great computer choice for the infrequent holiday diver like me!
Easy to use, completed 4 dives with this now, does everything I need, as mentioned by others in other reviews, the back light on this is very dim, would still recommend though. Only dropped one star due to the internal package being badly damaged.
I bought this on black Friday. It was good value for money. I have dived with it and it works well. The only criticism I have is that the interface is a bit clunky as you have to do everything with one button, other than that I can recommend it.
Really happy with this dive computer. Diving on air and have been able to pop it on and just head for the water.
The display is really easy to read both in and out of the water. The layout of the information is very straightforward making it effortless to use.
I have been happy with the maximum bottom time that has been given on my dives and could see this adapting quickly as I moved to shallower depths.
The safety stop is also very clear showing with a beep to signal it has finished which is handy if you are hovering in a location with nice coral and fish to distract you.
I will need to look at the additional features in more detail but hope to find they are also easy to use.
A good dive computer, no set up needed just turn on and get in the water and it powers up and does the rest. All dives recorded accurately so far however it doesn’t mention anywhere that you need to buy an additional 50 accessory to be able to download the dive logs to the app or a PC
Very good, easy to use dive computer. It can be used to plan dives and gives you a countdown at the end of the dive for how long you have to wait before you can fly. No real set up required. You can just strap it on and go for a dive and it will automatically record all the pertinent information. It’s worth getting the PC interface as well so that you can download your dives to your PC. The dive computer can store up to 60 dives / 70 hrs. I’m a rescue diver but I’ve always been bad at logging dives, this makes it much easier. The only thing I record now is the name / location of the dive site (which you can attach to each dive using the PC interface software).
So I am knew to diving and after a bit of research I opted for this dive computer.
It’s a little fidgety having only one button and a little disappointed in this day and age that there isn’t better connectivity to a PC or app. also annoying switches back to standard view far too quickly when you are trying to use the one button menus but other than that very happy with it. I am sure there are better devices out there but for the money I aint complaining 🙂
Got this as the first dive watch for my 12y who is now a certified Open Water diver. Its a bit bigger than I expected but its of a very good quality and does have all the functions needed to make dives safe. Still trying to get use to the functions and settings but for the price we got on the prime day I cannot complain at all ….. Superb buy
I needed a simple inexpensive dive computer. I didn’t require syncing with my PC, as I can easily add the dive details. All I wanted was something that told me how deep I was, what my none stop dive time was (and how long I have left), warn me to do a safety stop, give the water temperature and keep an eye on surface interval (and allow me to plan my next dive). Everything else was a bonus. This computer does all of this, and more (mixed gas). Also, the screen is clear and easy to read. At 33m in dull conditions with maybe 5m vis, the screen was clear and did not need the backlight.
The PC link is an (expensive) extra, but for 10 dives a year I can add the details to my dive log manually.
It has a long strap so if you’re got narrow wrists and dive with a shortie you may want to trim the strap! For me, with a 5mm wetsuit this was not an issue.
The single button is easy to use, however, I don’t really need to use it! Put on computer. Do dive. Look at screen during dive. Listen to beeps if it needs to tell you something. Look at screen after dive and write up log. None of this requires you to press a button. The depth, non stop dive time, dive timer, temp gauge etc etc, all show the same results as the dive master on my last dive, and his computer cost 3x as much. At the end of the day, why pay more, unless you NEED the functionality, which I don’t.
So, for me, it gives me everything I need at a price I can afford.
-described as ‘packaging slightly damaged’ was actually ripped to bits and destroyed both externally and internally, more worryingly described ‘as New’ but had dive logs present.
Moving on:
The product itself is nicely designed, and the colours match the receivers other dive equipment.
Functionality is relatively easy, via a single button, and works through logical button press steps.
Can be used with nitrox as well as air, and has altitude settings too.
Auto entry dive start and back light.
Multiple dive logs stored.
A software CD and basic Quick Guide is included.
An OPTIONAL computer link is also available, but this is very expensive and of questionable practical use.
Nice size, looks nice, and can be used as a vocational watch without looking like a huge dive computer!
WOULD recommend.
Early days yet.
Just completed dive 9 of 12 dive package
Have to reference cressi quick reference guide, but basically very easy to use so far. Tells me my depth, time desat time before I fly, how long I’ve been out of the water, temperature, that’s all I need at the moment.
Still getting used to all the little bits, like rising too quickly, 3 arrows….
Think I have got that now
I have a log for 1.3 minutes where I think I went too deep on jumping in, it logged itas a dive, not the end of the world, but would be nice to be able to deletei
I used it in the galapagos this year and it was reliable. For the cost I’d happily recommend. It does keep a dive log that you can scroll back through, but the one feature I would add is the ability to transfer that log off onto a smartphone. Doesn’t feel like too much to ask in this day and age.
Irrespective, quite a few of the instructors out there were also using this computer on a daily basis, so seems like a quality product.
After trialling it at the weekend for the first time, it didn’t disappoint in terms of functionality and ease of use.
Before jumping in the water it allows you to plan your dive via the Plan screen which lets you set your intended depth and gives you information on required decompression stops depending on input. Air settings can be changed to allow support for various nitrox blends up to 51% in 1% increments which is also pretty handy.
In the water, the screen automatically changes and provides information on your dive such as duration, max depth, current depth, next decompression stop and ascent speed with audible prompts for the more critical safety factors.
I’ve not linked any of my dives as yet via the PC Link as I am yet to purchase the docking station (my only gripe!) so can’t comment. Will update the review when the time comes!
Edit: Purchased the PC Link and uploaded a total of 15 dives. The PC application interface could do with being updated, looks like something from the mid 00’s. Information provided is great however, including tissue saturation.
Since upgraded to a Suunto Eon Core as the screen wasn’t great for those dark loch/night dives, but still have this as the trusty back up!
