Suunto CB-One vs Scubapro compact SPG

[Bokito]

New diver here...

Any opinions about the Suunto CB One vs Scubapro compact SPG?

Thanks in advance for your replies

What's the difference ? I think they behave really the same. So buy the cheaper one.

Okay, fair enough.

Assuming the readability, durability and weight of both SPGs (including their hoses) are similar you have a good point.

I guess the differences between the SPGs of major brands are negligeble making price a decisive factor.

Thanks

A Brass and Glass spg with a protective housing and a hose from one of the online retailers, Dive Gear Expess, would probably be cheaper and of equal or better quality, I believe the Suunto gauge has a plastic housing. All or almost all the brass and glas spg are made in the same factory in Italy. I do not know where the Suunto and ScubaPro are made but you are paying premium for the names. They are not any better than most of the no name or house brands sold on the web and in stores.

by way of comparison:

Cressi-mini-spg http://www.leisurepro.com/p-csbmspg/cressi-mini-spg-without-rubber-boot $US59.95 (this is brass and glass)
Suunto spg http://www.leisurepro.com/p-sqtpgo/suunto-pressure-gauge-with-hp-hose-boot-spg $US169.95

I have had some good deals out of Europe on Mares SPGs ~$US50 from eBay sellers.
