Did you happen to order this online somewhere? Our Atomic LDS is closed for the season here so I've been looking for one online.....no luck so far!

Neil,I have just got back from 9 days diving in gozo
my cobalt worked without any problems till the last day when after diving quite deep the computer locked up at 21.7 meters and has stayed on and in dive mode since, i wonder if i re updated this would solve my problem but am worried this may occur again in the future luckily i was diving with two computers and so managed to surface safely using my older uemis computer has this happened to anyone else and can it be simply reset any advice would be useful i have scrolled through this thread but it is quite long and i never see anything relating to my issue i purchased the cobalt recently and it is ser no 2112-07985 many thanks from neil in the uk
Although it looks like a nice computer I can't resist commenting that is priced higher than a Petrel with less functionality
The X1 was called the iPhone of dive computers when it first came out. By eliminating buttons, and using intuitive menus and an accelerometer, navigation felt a lot like an iPhone. By contrast, the Cobalt still uses directional buttons. I would argue that the sliders on the Uemis computer are a lot more innovative. Anyway, each person has the freedom of choice.

Uemis went out of business last year, if that is what you were searching for. The buttons on the Cobalt were a deliberate choice, being easy to use with gloves, not requiring a penetration of the housing, and ergonomically related to the feedback from the display results. Other mechanisms can certainly work as well- the interface quality/ experience has much more to do with the internal logic and structure of the software than the particular physical input mechanics, within reason.Can't find it on the common online vendor sites. Reason?
We have included, in all our Cobalt firmware versions, help text at the bottom of the screen for most Settings functions- text telling users what the particular button or menu item does, within the possibilities of a few of lines of text. The question is: How important or useful are those help descriptions? Would the Cobalt be as useable without them? Are they useful in come contexts, like Gas Settings, but not in others? When we discuss adding features, screen real estate always is an issue, and the help text takes quite a bit. Is it worth it?
Thanks for your comments.
