Perdix: sluggish temperature sensor

[European]

I would like to find out whether anyone else has experienced this behaviour:

Today I went diving in a lake with a temperature between 6°C (below) and 10°C at the surface (53-60°F). First after 7:30min the Perdix showed 10° where it was 6° and the measurement was fairly sluggish. Finally after 9:40min it showed the correct temperature (compared with several others afterwards). Outside temperature was about 22°C (71°F), I have used a dry suite and measurement interval is 20sec.

Does anyone account for that behaviour?

all of the Shearwaters I have used have real sluggish temp sensors. I am not entirely sure the temp sensor is exposed to the outside environment so it may have to wait for the whole computer to get to the ambient temp. My Nitek Q is super responsive to temp, but it is also metal vs. plastic so it changes temps more rapidly. It's a bit annoying if you are trying to check thermoclines for sure

I guess I'm used to a L-O-N-G decreasing curve on the temp sensor. I think all of my (family) PDCs exhibit that. Just like a mechanical thermometer of days gone by...

Cochran EMC-20, Mares Puck, Oceanic Veo 180Nx, Shearwater Petrel1 & Pedrix, and my DiveNav TechBuddy data logger too.....

YMMV

My Perdix temps have always been slow to update.

All of the computers I have owned take a bit for temp to measure accurately. Hollis DG03, Oceanic VTX, and now the Perdix. I have just assumed that's how they work or that warmer/colder water is trapped between the computer and my sleeve.
