I bought this in March 2015 and I love it. It’s been almost 2 years and the battery hasn’t needed to be changed yet. It’s very clear underwater and doubles as a watch so you know exactly what time you started your dive, which other computers don’t do. It is hard to learn how to use but once you get the hang of it, it’s not too bad. I also like how you can scroll back and forward and use 2 gas mixes. It has been very durable for me as well and when i’m diving with someone using a Suunto, I just turn the conservative factor on and it matches their algorithm super closely. I will keep this computer as long as I can.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
Absolutely in LOVE! I lusted over this for a year before finally stashing enough cash to buy it. Easy to use, easy to read. Fits nicely on a female wrist. I’m in a dive club with about 100 members, a good 60% have this one, in a variety of colors and are happy with it too. I dive 30-50 dives per year, so for my usage its awesome.
Perfect entry level computer
If like me, you want an affordable entry level computer that supports Nitrox and doesn’t use RGBM, this is a great choice.Screen is super easy to read in the water. Menus and general use are super intuitive, the manual is well put together. Only real gripe is the ascent rate indicator: it extrapolates too aggressively based on too little history and gets mad at you for perfectly reasonable ascents.
So far so good. I’ve used the computer during 3 dives and …
So far so good. I’ve used the computer during 3 dives and it’s just amazing. Very user-friendly. Alarms works according the settings, numbers and indicators are very easy to read under the water. Loving my computer. By the way even when it’s watch style I think the size is a little big to wear it as everyday watch. Thanks LeisurePro for another excellent product.
Amazing Dive Computer, but some quirks
This dive computer is great for recreational diving! I am very happy with the purchase, and would gladly buy it again. I am a Rescue Diver, and do a lot of wreck and cavern diving down to about 130ft (many on nitrox). I dive 2-3 times per month, and have about 50 dives on this computer.I purchased this computer for its “Tec-reational” features, and because it is small enough to be worn as a regular watch. When I say “Tec-reational,” I mean that you can set two different gas mixes, and switch between them underwater. This allows you to breath air or nitrox for your bottom gas, and then switch to an 80% or 100% O2 bottle on the way up. Also, the computer WILL NOT LOCK YOU OUT if it goes into decompression mode. Many computers will not allow you to dive for 24hrs after entering required decompression.My biggest gripe is that you cannot enter your nitrox mix, and then confirm that it was entered correctly. When you push “select” to save the mix, it takes you out of the nitrox menu. The only way to confirm your mix, is to go into a separate menu (“Dive Mode” > “Dive Planning”) where the mix is displayed. This is actually a software glitch, because you can only plan a dive based on the mix that is currently set in the nitrox menu. I like that you can view your current PPO2 while in dive mode. Many computers do not allow you to do this.The menus are quirky to say the least! Many of the menus have a single letter for their title. For example, the title of the nitrox menu is “F.” There is plenty of room on the screen to put a 5-8 letter title, like “NITROX” or “SET O2%”, or anything. The menu to adjust your max allowed PPO2 is called “A”. The menu to select the decompression algorithm and safety stops is called “U”. I usually have to randomly try a couple of menus until I find the one I am looking for. Navigating the menus is actually quite simple (because of the 4 button design), I just with they had given them more intuitive names.The audible alarms are not loud enough to be heard underwater. I can only hear them if I bring the watch close to my head. But the red blinking LED alarm is a nice touch.This computer has a lot of features that are only found on computers twice this price. It is a great value purchase, and you can wear it as a regular watch to boot.
Great value, great looking dive computer
Great value, great looking dive computer. A little complicated to use at first, but the manuals online make everything clear.
Fantastic dive computer/watch
This is a terrific watch. If you want to use all of its capabilities, you’ll need to read the manual. But programming it to tell time (dual time zones) and do basic diving is very intuitive. My first dive trip with the watch, the dive master used this instead of his own dive computer. It keeps track of individual dives, residual nitrogen, maximum depth, lifetime dives like a dream. Well worth the price!
5 dives in and I am a happy man
Great product. Very durable. All the information you would need for recreational diving.My one gripe is the user interface. This device is far from intuitive and you definitely need to sit through the online course (comes with the purchase) before you go for your dives. The menus are complicated and leave much to be desired.
Very complicated to work
Nice watch, the only problem is there are no instructions on how to operate the computer. Very complicated and very little direction on how to use.
Like a high-maintenance partner: pretty but breaks down often
This dive computer has too many problems. The battery needs to be replaced in two year intervals even when not in use and the strap is brittle and breaks just as often.

I have atom 3.1 and the USB driver link doesn’t work, also driverlog does not recognize it.
Four Stars
Delivery on time! The only small thing I would say is the color isn’t as dark as I expected.
One long dive trip, totally happy.
Everything I would want from a nitrox capable computer. Not super conservative. Studies have shown that super conservative computer have no better track record.
Friendly
I enjoy the usability of this computer. I own this and the Veo 2.0 both are very similar. Coming from a scuba instructor, I recommend it.
Five Stars
Good choice!!!
Is a smaller watch in comparison with other dive watches which is nice. Is easy to read when diving
comments powered by DisqusI purchased this watch for my husband. I have to say, he loves it. Is a smaller watch in comparison with other dive watches which is nice. Is easy to read when diving.
