What to buy instead of died Nitek Trio? In general I need two or better three Nitrox mixtures with underwater switching for decompression, compass, user replaceable battery and affordable price. Trio's production is discontinued long time ago so it is impossible to just buy the new one. And I can't find any multi-brand catalog with searching by parameters. Any advises? Thanks.

The peregrine meets all of those criteria if available in your area.
I was thinking the peregrine had an internal compass?
My mistake.
Economical....
You can always go back to a bottom timer and a gauge with cut tables....
folks will drop over $1k on a cell phone every time a new model comes out but gag on a PDC....

You can't go wrong with either and I have used both models for many years.

It is far from the initial question, but try to change the point of view a little bit. The smartphone's software is growing (it terms of required computing resources, etc.) so fast that after several years you are just unable to use current versions (due to slowdown or incompatible OS). Also there is a highly visible progress in photo capabilities that is worth to pay for (my Canon 70D with 17-55IS is cowered by dust for years, a modern top smartphone with the couple click post-processing is just better to post a picture in FB for most of light conditions). But a dive computer is in general isolated device with constant and limited set of functions. For instance the only problem with Trio was low reliability (as it turned out when it died - unexpected from Japan's Seiko). After almost ten years I just do not need something new except better reliability. So I do not see any sense to buy something expensive and not reliable (it is assumed that the more complicated the device, the lower its reliability and the longer we use the device, the higher the chance of failure).Economical....

It is out of budget. But thanks anyway.
Will my air consumption drop three times? Or will my lungs start to work like gills? Or will I stop experiencing nitrogen intoxication up to 150 m? Or will nitrogen stop dissolving in my blood? Or will it attract to me a great white and a whale shark simultaneously? Or will it connect and show me a NetFlix movie during one-hour deco stop may be? Really?
It's just a calculator with one (or 2-3-4) buttons, one (or two) well-known algorithm, display and speaker. Nothing more.
