Doooods, seriously . . . the timing of the Perdix sucks.
Never, ever, ever release something just before, or in the three months after Christmas.
Imagine this -- across the world ecstatic divers open their Christmas presents to find the Petrel 2 from their beloved . . .
A day later, dancing and bragging and screaming their new toy to the Interwebs, and they read . . . new dive computer... brighter, smaller, everything like the Petrel . . .
Their breath stops, their heart jumps into their throat, feeling like it is being squeezed by a huge unseen fist. . . . Perdix . . . Perdix.
But they mustn't say anything, they must continue to fake that smile for their beloved . . . and won't probably be able to afford the new one for more than a year. . . cannot justify another for more than a year. . .
