LF: wrist mounted analog depth gauge

[jplacson]

Anyone know who makes the smallest wrist mounted analog depth gauge? How much? Thanks!

Why bother? Digital is better and readily available at a low price.

The Suunto SM 16 looks low profile in pictures, but I've never been able to find one to look at.

Hi to all..i got a timex watch..it tells you dept, temperature and time..i compared w/ the analog dept gauge..it has accurate reading...the original price was P3,500+..but it was on sale when i bought it.. 50% off the original price...so i grabbed one and i have no regrets at all...

Hi Nieva, would you know what model timex it was? Where did you buy it? can you post a photo? thanks!

I bought a Timex Helix DM almost 4 years ago -- about the time they were being discontinued. It worked well as a backup depth/time source to my computer. And I said "worked" not "works" because it died sometime over the winter and doesn't respond to any input. Oh well.

i think the helix has been out of production for the past 2 or so years - hence the price give-away at about 2,300 or 2k... forgot, it's been a while...

i have one and although it still works the part of the strap that keeps the excess strap in place broke...

it's workable with an (ugly) masking tape fix i made... easy to redo using better craftsmanship

works fine... you want it? i can sell it since i'm not using it anymore
