    Suunto EON Core dim display?

    Send it to them as yours may have another problem. Even with the excessive glare, I've always been able to see the information.

    Suunto EON Core dim display?

    It does have a quite a bit of glare. Turning up the brightness as you did helps- but wont eliminate it. Have you installed the screensaver? It helps a bit but not too much. I've used mine for about 3 years now and had problems with the glare initially but now I guess that I am used to it! Or...

    Teric TIDES option

    Getting OT here but If you need an inexpensive and accurate watch for accurate tides, tide size, moon phases, sunrise, sunset, I would suggest the Casio GBX-100. As mentioned tides are location specific. The Casio uses bluetooth to connect your phone app where you designate a location. Works...

    Where to Look for Ocean Temperature and Conditions?

    Find the NOAA Buoys for your area. They only have surface temp but usually have wave size and direction as well. In addition there usually is a local marine forecast. Take note of where they are located-in shore or off shore https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/

    Diving after hip replacement?

    I will certainly echo what others have said here. I would get the replacement done sooner than later. I had multiple injections in my hip for a couple of years prior to getting a replacement. Felt great afterward and regret not doing the replacement earlier and avoiding the injections. Was...

    Season?

    As mentioned and to reiterate, individual tolerance is different. I have the same 7mm Thermax and am good for temperatures ~52 for ~30 minutes. Anything colder or longer I go dry suit. Hope this is helpful.

    A Sincere Question about Console Vs. Wrist Computers

    I use both for redundancy. The console is clipped and mostly used as backup as I refer to the wrist more often since it is easier. I also use a mask with built in readers (+1.75). I would suggest that if you think that you will eventually use 2 computers to purchase them within the same...

    Garmin In-reach mini as PLB?

    I saw the Dive Case for the Mini at DEMA and have been giving it some thought as well. Using the Mini for diving as well as backcountry snowboarding or mountain biking effectively extends the season thus making the subscription a bit more compelling.

    EON Core screen glare issue?

    Been diving the EON Core and generally like it. However, the glare on the screen is an issue -even in deep and darker water. Effectively, you need to tilt the screen at an angle to see the information. I'm thinking of trying an old school type of stick on screen saver but wanted to see if...
