My entry level scuba pro puck died. I need to replace it and want to go wrist mount and not console this time. I am really leaning towards shearwater perdix because of the AA battery. am I wrong to be worried about longevity of the rechargeable batteries? and of course I have to decide AI or no AI.

I have Perdix AI and it is great. I don't do any tech diving but still appreciate the great screen and more aggressive algorithm. My wife was using an Oceanic Pro Plus 3 which she really liked, but I got her a Shearwater Tern AI recently. She didn't think she needed a new computer but now she loves the Tern and won't go back to the console.​
 
Most folks seem to think the battery in the Peregrine is just fine (really good, actually). If you don't need the functionality of a Perdix for tech diving and don't want AI, check out the Peregrine. If you want AI, the Tern TX is available with that.
 
I should have mentioned in my post that I prefer the perdix because screen is easier for me to see with presbyopia. My wife had lasik so no issues for her with smaller screen on Tern TX.
