Teric AI vs. Perdix AI?

I just bought both.

Teric has vibrating alarms.

I don't see this as an advantage.
No way am I trusting my life to a vibration.
Saying that the Teric is way cool
If I had one I would wear it all the time.
Sadly with 2×Perdix I cant justify the cost.

It still has traditional audible alarms, and you can turn on both at the same time too.

Same as.
Never trusted "alarms"

audible alarms are useless. I'll disagree with @TerryC about vibe alarms, much prefer having them, but certainly not to rely on. They're nice when you're doing working dives

If you are considering sidemount, I would go with the Perdix over the Teric. I’ve seen the Teric display with both tank pressures displayed. It gets crowded, too crowded for my tastes. The Perdix screen is bigger. Friend who has the Teric said he preferred my Perdix for showing both tank pressures.

If SM isn’t on your radar, then don’t worry about what I just wrote.

The Teric has a freediving mode. No other Shearwater computer has it. Haptic and audible alarms are useful to freedivers.

I find it far better than trusting my life to a beep I cannot hear. The only way I know my computer is beeping is if the people around me are starting at me.

I went for the Perdix mainly because 90% of my dives are drysuit in cold water. With all the clobber I just felt the Perdix would be more robust and easier to handle.

Damn, but the Teric is a nice piece of kit. I'd have one in a heartbeat if I could keep the receipt hidden from the misses.

I prefer the Perdix for 3 reasons:
1) I found it easier to read
2) It's bulky, meaning I know is there: I don't have to focus to much and find it
3) The battery is super easy to change
