Is it for sale or are you at DEMA looking at it?

Does anyone know if it can keep track of two airs at one time in other words my air and my son's air? I like that feature about the Lynx but little else.

That was taken before DEMA, and unfortunately they have still not shipped. It will also not do a buddy check.

I did not realize its screen is so small; my Predator (a little bigger than the Petrol) is smaller than my Mares especially underwater and I like the bigness of the Mares. Oh well...its not available anyways.

Suunto just released a statement that said it would be Spring 2015 before they will release it.

Asked whom? Remember they first said October, then November, then end of November. At DEMA today my LDS went by their booth and SUUNTO said "not sure no date" and when asked why said "small bugs" with the system. Developed for five years and small bugs? Notice how they have not answered on here about their asinine "wait is over" marketing when clearly the wait is not over. Suunto is famous for buggy computer releases especailly first run probably best to avoid this pig for a year or two....idiotic company.

must be using the same marketing firm as X-Deep.....

"Despite our earlier availability estimate, we are not ready yet with the Suunto EON Steel. We are very sorry for the delay but Suunto is known for its quality and safety and we will never compromise on this."

From their website explaining their four month extra delay. What a joke. When I called one of my local LDS vendors for Suunto to see if it was available in mid-October they told me it would be until late November and they recommend not buying their first iteration because Sunnto has a habit of putting out bad first products. What an idiotic company.

I still think that the wait will be worth it, and I can imagine some things do come up that need to be fixed before they are released, that are not expected.

Maybe (although somewhat doubtfully) they have taken some of the suggestions here (the ones that don't involve any hardware changes) and have incorporated some of those requests to better meet the need of tec divers?

Maybe a pipe dream.
