I see it's been discussed here, but any other information? I have a Peregrine already, I want the air integration and I'm on the fence between Perdix and Teric. One standout I see is the Teric formfactor makes it possible to double as a watch on trips. Someone did point out the Perdix takes standard batteries.
 
shearwater’s comparison chart shows “vibration and audible beeps” for Teric—is the difference in how configurable it is?
I sold my Peregrine a month back, but last time I checked in the settings I don't recall a setting to configure how the vibrate function actually erm, vibrates... Also the Peregrine was vibrate only, no hardware for audible beeps etc.

On my Teric I can configure between audible and vibrate (or both) and also configure the type of vibrate such as 2 short, 3 short etc. I have to admit I haven't played with this setting much other than setting it to 3 vibrates. I'm sure it's detailed in the manual somewhere.

The Perdix does not contain the hardware for vibrate.

I’ve had my Teric for almost 4 years and I wear it every day. It reminds me of what I’d rather be doing, and I’ve never lost it since I always know where it is!
 
I want to get one. Have tried on a friend’s, and it fits just fine for everyday use. Way I see it, there’s no way I’m not using it as an everyday watch for how much it costs. LOL
 
I would not use it as a daily watch. I took a look at the literature and no where does Shearwater advertise or suggest it be a daily wear.
I would be apprehensive about accelerated wear/tear and the inherent possibility of a failure during a dive.

I know - I'm a party pooper.

Best thing is to just ask Shearwater if they recommend using it as a daily watch.
 
Too bulky for daily wear, and missing too many of the features I use on my Apple Watch. It's a very nice dive computer, though.
 
I have a perdix and a teric. The teric could be worn as a daily watch, allthough it is a bit bigger than I would prefer for that. It is not much bigger than my garmin 920xt but a good bit heavier.

I find that despite the perdix bigger screen I can read the teric much better under water, the screen is just that much more crisp and bright.
