I have a console computer with SPG and compass and am buying a wrist computer with pressure transmitter. Assuming I use the wrist as a primary and console as backup (Alladin 2G and Galileo Sol, respectively), what are the pro's and con's of putting the wrist computer on left or right wrists?
Thoughts gathered from reading other posts this far.
Right Wrist
PRO
1. Can use inflator in left and monitor computer on right during ascent (but run out of hands to hold buoy line)
CON
2. Primary is on right regulator HP port so transmitter would go on left, reducing signal
Left Wrist
PRO
1. Transmitter and computer on left, with better signal
2. Can dump air with right hand on right shoulder dump and monitor ascent rate (again, out of hands for buoy line)
