Wrist vs. console computer?

[Belzelbub]

On that last note, for you wrist computer guys, do you still have a hosed SPG?

I still have three SPGs. I keep them safe in a regulator bag. Just in case they are needed. They haven’t actually gone on a dive since the transmitters went on.

I dive with a wrist computer, a backup console computer and a hosed spg.

Thanks guys. No clear consensus on having a hosed SPG along with a wrist computer.
Some do, some don't. In a way, I'm glad it's not a unanimous decision to ditch the redundancy.
Personally, I'll keep my console computer/SPG as a backup.

Redundancy is good. If your lone computer fails at least you have gas pressure to guide you on your immediate and controlled return to the surface. I carry two computers because most of the time I'm diving far from a place where I can easily fix the problem in time to dive again on that trip. That's an expensive lesson to learn.

I have this console (front and back pictured below) which includes a SPG, back-up computer, and compass.
I’m thinking of getting a wrist mount for the back-up computer, ditching the compass (I have one on my main computer), and going with a naked hosed SPG to streamline and lighten my gear.

Any reason why I wouldn’t want to do this? As far as I can tell, the only expense would be purchasing the wrist strap and boot.

Seems to me if you still have your SPG flopping around on the end of a hose you aren’t accomplishing much. Can your primary computer be AI?
