I recently had a chance to spend a weekend doing some recreational and technical dives with my new xen. The absolutely MOST ANNOYING aspect of this BT is that you have to not only activate the stopwatch through a series of menus but then you have to go back and start the stopwatch. I should NOT have to activate the stopwatch and I definitely should not have to start the stopwatch after turning it on. If i didn't want the stopwatch started why the heck would I turn it on? This is marketed as the only DIR OLED BT, but it seems the fact that DIR divers like a stopwatch has been miscommunicated to the software engineers. The stopwatch activation method is dumb, counterintuitive, and is taking time away from enjoying my dive. Please fix this in a software update. Perhaps you should look at the Aladin Tec 2g for an example of how a stopwatch should start immediately upon BT activation.
