Doesn't the side windows distort the viewing field? Seems like once in the water, it would create a different viewing plane even if the joint were seamless. I agree with Hank that this could be distracting.

bradsab,
I'll be with an OW class this week in the pool. If I can I will try out an Ion3 (I'm curious as well!) and let you know what I think. The older version had clear vision through the front window and the side window. The joint was where things got a bit distorted.
More to come....

Hope you get to try one. The joint itself isn't what I wonder about; I'm thinking the side windows will not be a continuous view of the same field, rather, it will bring the view from ninety degrees at the side and "connect" it to what you are seeing out the front. Don't know if I'm articulating that well, but I'm really interested to hear what you find, or anyone else who has tried one. Also, let us know what you think of the vertical field, particularly downward view. I can't find the ION 3/Europa 3 on-line yet.
