Info Two New Dive Computers from Scubapro for 23! LUNA 2.0 (with & without Air Integration with GF) with aggressive pricing

[GDHLEWIS]

Reads like a solid addition to the market. No doubt it will get a ton of attention once it is released

AFAIK, $20 - 30 less than the Peregrine for the non-AI version. About $50 more for the AI version.

Interesting that they’ve opted for an old-school fixed layout monochrome LCD 7 segment number display rather than a dot matrix TFT or OLED screen — although the middle row is dot matrix with no smoothing. Means that the screen layout is fixed in hardware and can’t change layout for other diving modes.

The user interface appears quite cluttered with uncommon TLAs (MBL0, NST, two unlabelled numbers and an orphaned coloured bar)

Seems only superficially like a Periguine.

Would expect the price to drop a fair amount.

CR2450 battery is user-changeable and rated for up to two years/300 dives.

That's a tiny battery, which (together with price) probably explains the screen. They certainly were aiming for thin and willing to compromise to achieve it, it seems.

Thank you for the post update!!
That battery is just a 'coin-type' battery,,,,,and with that screen I wonder if there is another 2nd battery or a Typo-misprint. If it is correct-that's some incredible engineering !!

depends if you prefer AI or not I would guess for typical rec diving.

The specs contradict what you said, read below please.

Using segmented numbers seems to be an odd design choice if it’s not a display limitation. The G2 doesn’t look like this.

No compass, like the Peregrine

It's a partial dot-matrix screen:

A typical meh dive-computer response from SP. Ratio and Shearwater are light years ahead. Hard to believe they’ve released a dot-matrix display in 2022/3. DEMA should be “interesting” this year.
