Ok I have a VyTec wrist model have a few questions for any one else that does. Mine only seems to record temperature intermittently. I don't think the recordings are accurate either. When I download the dives to the dive manager software only a few points appear on the graph. When I look at the documentation for the software it is always indicating a continual bar or step graph, mine has never indicated this.
For instance this last weekend I did a forty minuet dive and it only recorded three temperature points. one at the beginning, one at the ending and one at the max depth. Max depth was only thirty six feet but it indicated the same temperature as on the surface, and I know I stayed below the thermocline for almost the whole dive, it was much clearer down there. At the end of the dive it recorded the lowest temperature, four degrees below the max depth temp.
I have the thing set to record every ten seconds, I assume that would record the temperature as well but it doesn't seem to do that. Now I was wearing a 7mm wetsuit and I believe the sensor is on the bottom of the unit but I didn't have it set so tight that you couldn't pull it up easily. I can't imagine that water was not getting under there.
At any rate I am wondering if anyone else has a vytech that performs this way or differently. Maybe only the fancier computers such as the D9 records everything.
Suunto will not talk to me about the thing, nor will aqualung. It was purchased from liesure pro before I knew that they are not a dealer so not only is it not have a warranty, I can't even pay Suunto to service the thing. they won't even touch it.
