Oh, wow! An old underwater watch of some sort.
Rental gear frequently includes a depth gauge because they cannot be sure the renter will have a computer.That is the XS Scuba Depth Gauge Module still sold today. When in Jamaica we noticed that the rental gear used a similar module in the counsel.
You MUSY know your depth, time underwater, and gas pressure; that is the minimum info for a safe dive. HOW you know that info is not that important. Your computer will tell you all but gas pressure.Is it considered bad if I skip the depth gauge on my next set of gear? Just using a computer for depth and a wrist compass? Looking at getting back into diving with a travel size setup. I have never dove with a computer before. Just paper charts and analog gauges. But it seems like this is a good way to eliminate some clunky equipment?
Just normal holiday fun diving, nothing fancy.
Thanks

Those are called "air integrated" and can be had on the end of a hose, or wireless.And some computers even tell you gas pressure
