Suunto D9

[alcina]

My trusty computer gave me an Err message last night. No warning. But it has been with me since 2000 and it's taken a beating, so it isn't terribly unforeseen!

I now need to replace it (or maybe just the battery, but buying a new one is more fun!) and am looking around.

I want:
-air integrated
-nitrox capable

Pretty much those are my main two. I saw the D9 but don't know anything about it.

Loved my Uwatec Aladin Nitrox but if there is something out there I should consider I'd change...

Hey,

You’re SB staff. You must know that D9 has been covered many times here.
Have you ever tried “Search”? After then, please let us know if you have any particular questions. I also post the review for their digital compass..

Actually, my question is are there any other air integrated hoseless wrist mount Nitrox/mixed gas computers that should make my list (D9 and Aladin's on there now)? Smaller the better.

Couldn't care less about the compass, so that isn't an issue.

Size matters and really is the main reason I am even considering something other than simply updating the Alladin - the new one is huge compared to my old one and DHs air of the same make just feels weird on.

I assume you had already finished the research on this. Again, you are SB staff. There are other computers you might be interested in.
Aeris Elite and Oceanic Atom.


It is not a secret that these computers are identical and share the transmitter.

You can find a ton of information about these computers this board.

The best place you can buy is Larry…. He is a big fan of these computers.



In the size wise, it is the biggest pros on D9. It looks like a regular watch. It is a slightly bigger tough. You can’t notice it when you are wearing the casual clothes.

Whenever I go out to be wet, I always wear it from home. The letter and bar on the screen is a little bit small compared to SP computers. It is not a big issue to me at all.



Cons…

It can’t sync with three transmitters. This is the major cons.

The digital compass is kind of joke for the real research project in underwater.

So, I am looking for SK-7.
