The Shearwater Teric Announced

[uncfnp]

I'd buy it for sure, but for now if anyone wants to sell their old, outdated Perdix, give me a shout.

I believe the operative word is obsolete.

I wonder how long a charge lasts in watch mode (and dive mode)

It's in the info already available, something like 30/50 hours

When i saw the ad, i was hoping it would be cheaper than the perdix. Oh well.

Does it support VPM?

Not at all.... This is a cute little thing and I just sent the link to Mrs. Stoo since my birthday is only six months away. However, this would be utterly useless up here with drygloves etc. I was wearing both a Petral and a Perdix this past weekend and I found the Perdix more difficult to use since the buttons are closer to my suit and cuff rings. It was tricky to make gas changes etc. No way you could operate the Teric with drygloves on I don't think.

It would make a great computer for warm water and an excellent backup.

Is it too soon for some feedback on the Shearwater Teric? Who said they'd never make a watch sized model!!

Nice dive computer. I think most will find four buttons to be an excellent upgrade.

2 buttons work perfectly on the Perdix - it's an incredibly simple, intuitive interface. I can't see 4 buttons being noticeably better? Perhaps with the memory function they mention where you can assign a specific screen/function to one of the "extra" buttons. However, at least for me (as a recreational diver), I've never once thought that the Perdix or Petral needed extra buttons.

Does it support VPM?

It does NOT, only Bühlmann ZHL-16c algorithm with configurable Gradient Factors, and my guess would be it's unlikely to ever support VPM in the future... seems to be conscious decision by Shearwater going forward given the latest info on VPM. However, in no way deters the possibility that Shearwater might later support a different alternative deco algorithm other than VPM.

Have you ever used a computer with four buttons?
