Hello,
As a new diver I'm involved in buying the whole set, once purchased fins, mask, snorkel and suit, is time for the serious gear, and being a computer engineer and total tecnology freak I feel I need a computer, I require it to be also a day to day wrist watch, mi budget is on the 400 (+-500$) range and after gathering some information I reduced it to three candidates, all seem to have same features:
1. Mares Nemo (359-458$) On a LDS.
Pros: Coolest looking! , purchased locally, users seem to be satisfied with it...
Cons: IRIS interface wich is expensive and problematic (who the hell builds a serial port based device on '06)
2. Cressi Edy (310-395$) On dive center I obtained my OW at.
Pros: Also a cool one, I obtain a really good price from my dive center, I'm pretty confident with the guys/gals there also.
Cons: Not a single review found on SB or even on the Internet! (but seems a reduced version of the Archimede with some added features).
3. Suunto Mosquito (359-458$) On ScubaStore.com
Pros: By far the most tested and reviewed(on SB or the internet) with lots of satisfied customers.
Cons: Seems to me the ugliest of the pack.
As you noticed, I don't have the experience to evaluate aspects such as reliability, interface, etc... so wich one would yo choose? I also accept suggestions for any other computer/watch I should consider, have in mind I live in Spain and we have more availability for European brands...
Thanks in advance!!
