Best dive computer for older eyes?

A large display solves one problem but does nothing for the larger one. If you can't read your computer you can't see all those interesting critters, settings on a camera, or your buddy's computer. Invest in your vision first. On the positive side, you're not alone.

True enough. But unfortunately there is only so much modern science and technology can do. I gave up on nudibranchs and other truly small sea life years ago.

I remember reading somewhere about using a handheld magnifying glass but haven't gotten that desperate...yet.

Chest mount .... but I am working on a thigh mount accessory:cool2:

I'd suggest researching a "cold water" replacement for your current glove........

Prescription bifocal masks suck less than missing all that detail... for me anyway. Considering it isn't going to get any better you may as well bite the bullet and get used to them.

Good point.

Me too, if I can't see it, it's not there.

I'm also a big fan of the Atomic Cobalt. The bright screen helps these old eyes.

I think growing my arms longer would also solve the problem, for a while anyway.

Thanks, we have a new firmware release for the Cobalt finishing beta testing now (some here on SB have been using it) that “zooms” the countdown timers at stops, which were the smallest fonts. This was in response to requests to accommodate older eyes- and since the Cobalt’s designers are all on the other side of 60, we sympathize.


High contrast levels are very important for vision, so emissive color screens are much easier to read.
