Wrist computer, watch style for my son and I (new divers)

[mark290]

I went with one of each, Oceanic Geo & Aeris Manta.
They are both the same computer but I'll let my son
pick which one he likes the looks of better and I'll take
the other. The Aeris is $15 less for some reason. I bought
from LP and the sales person, David, was very helpful. I
was also told they come with a factory warranty.

Thanks for the help.

If you can find a Nemo Sport (not the Nemo), consider that one. It is manufactured by Seiko-Epson in Japan and the quality level is very high.

Be weary of online retailers, when you purchase from leisure pro for example there is no warranty through the dealer. The dealer will not support the product if it malfuntions, is defective, or breaks too quickly. Buyer beware.

Oceanic, aeris, suunto all reputable companies...all will do the job, suunto is the safest because it is most conservative. And it's serviced everywhere. I have the mosquito and it's extremely easy to use.

Get a separate SPG as well, for your tank pressure and make sure to have a compass.
