New Apple Watch is a dive computer

[scubadada]

Is there an owner's manual for Oceanic+ on the Ultra, I have not been able to find it.

It runs Buhlmann with GF. The presets are quite conservative, 70/85, 65/80, and 60/75. It also has custom GF, is that full range for GF high?

If you exceed 40 meters/130 feet, but not 44 meters/144 ft, the computer appears to continue to display depth and NDL. Does the computer revert back to normal display with all dive information when you ascend to less than 40 meters/130 feet?

If you exceed 44 meters/144t, the computer does not display depth or NDL. At between 44 meters/144 feet and 40 meters/130 feet, does the computer display depth and NDL, as above? When shallower than 40 meters/130 feet, does it revert back to normal display with all dive information?

Downloaded it and signed up for the daily plan. I assume I'll get charged for another day every day I take it diving? I was surprised to see the custom GF available but looked in vain for any documentation.

(The daily plan was listed as $.99 as a special intro. Unsure how many dives this will be for.)

Hi @rongoodman

Is the custom GF high full range, to 99 or 100?

Low 25, high 95.

Off to a great start, love it!

Looking forward to the evolutions of the app, new apps that will undoubtedly arrive and future versions of the Ultra.

Hope to try the app in January!

I could be wrong but I would expect the plan would be active for the day you bought it.

So unless you dive with it today, you’ll be back to no plan tomorrow regardless of whether you used it or not.

And you would need to get a new day plan the day you want to go diving. That’s usually how subscriptions work.

So, I'm waiting for some real reviews. I would like to see independents run it in pressure pots and real divers taking it on dives along with comparator computers.

The app seems fine as a recreational dive computer but is anyone else underwhelmed by the logbook?

Compass looks really nice
