The Shearwater Teric Announced

[DiveGearExpress]

About batterie will it be user replaceanle or will need to service

The Teric has been designed with a wireless rechargeable battery and includes a wireless induction charger stand. The expected life of the built in battery is five (5) years and the battery can be replaced at one of the Shearwater factory authorized service centers. Although Shearwater recommends using their charging stand, the Teric can also be charged by the flat mats that support the Qi wireless-charging standard (which includes the latest iPhones and many Android phones.)

That's unfortunate, lol...

I may be out of tune with current pop culture, but I've never heard the word Teric used the that way. The Urban definition entry was only posted last November. However, to further explain what Teric means I'll share the 1st of the Five Broken Rules that explains the name:

1. The Letter “P”... sort of

There is a tradition for Shearwater wrist worn computers to have their names start with the letter “P”. The Teric breaks this rule... somewhat. Teric is derived from the word Pteric, as in Pterodactyl or Pterosaur. The word Pteric means “of, relating to, or resembling a wing”.

We decided to break this rule and went ahead and removed the silent “P”. In doing this, we hope to avoid countless spitting contests that may have arisen from people misinterpreting the pronunciation of Pteric.

Sly old dog... you didn't breathe a word of this in Bonaire. Good job at keeping things secret. Of course, SBers just love to get the scoop.

No need of screen protector?

A lot of references to other outdoor sports in that video, but I don't find any multisport features... Which is good for the time being. Still makes me afraid that focus is changing to general sportwatch market along with Suunto and Garmin in the future...

No need of screen protector?

The screen is made of scratch resistant Sapphire glass. Sapphire glass is a 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness so very few things can scratch it. Diamond would be an example of something that can scratch sapphire.

Really good point.

What would be missing next is:
GPS support
Wrist-based Heart rate monitor (for outside) and/or
Chest -based HR monitor (for underwater)
