what bottom timer/ computer

[verybaddiver]

Just wondering on back up bottom timers/depth gauge. Already got a uwatec bottom timer + a casio g-shock.

Many people seem to like the vyper/gekko? any ideas? :> Don't really want another uwatec (as it will look silly :])

Why would it look silly? I use 2 of the same computers, one is the regular computer, the other is in watch form.

 

[verybaddiver]

well, no offense but i plan on them both being in watch form? :>

None taken, I guess what I'm saying is that I'd have no problem wearing 2 of the same bottom timers, I'm sure there are at least a few folks who regularly do that. Have you considered looking at the Citizen watches for that?

I know you don't want another UWATEC but the Aladin TEC2G is a good choice - it has an excellent gauge mode: large numerals with stop watch function (in seconds increments) and depth averaging (with reset function). Paired with a DSS boot, it's also a really compact unit.

You really have all you need and those are the two most bulletproof ones to own. Once you have all of the scooters, lights, tanks, etc. that you will ever need and have then funds to dive as often as time permits, then waste money on another bottom timer.

Why are looking for another unit?

I would strongly second this idea.
I find the Aladin tec 2g to be a great bottom timer in guage mode.
The stop watch is very functional for timing deco and the resetable avg. depth feature makes things very simple.
By far the best bottom timer I've ever used.

sorry, i didn't mean i didn't want another UWATEC :>. I meant i didn't want another UWATEC bottom timer. The tec2g looks nice, i wanted a downloadable profile function too.

Can i just ask, what is the differance between the tec and tec2g? they seem to have the same functions, yet the tec is half the price.

The tec was the original version 1 gas capable(as if that matters in guage mode).
Avg. depth was not resetable.
I originaly bought the Tec after countless problems I returned the tec to Uwatec.
I recieved back from Uwatec the Tec2g
The tec 2g is the replacement for the problamatic tec.
The Tec was discontinued by Uwatec.
Old stock is still availiable but I would steer clear of it.
The Tec 2g has been completely problem free.

Good luck,
Milo
