I'm going to buy my first computer. I want a wrist model, don't particularly need air integration and would like to start at the lower end of the scale - price wise. Has anyone used any of the following that I'm looking at: Genesis React Pro; Aeris Manta; Tusa IQ-750 (Element II) OR IQ-700 (DC Hunter); Hollis DG-02? Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your help.
To simplify your shopping:
1. Shortlist the brands/models based on the algorithm you prefer, depending on the kind of diving you do - liberal (Pelagic DSAT) or conservative (Pelagic Z+, RGBM, Buhlmann ZHL-16C).
Liberal
Pelagic DSAT brands - Aeris, Oceanic, Hollis, Genesis
Middle of the road
Buhlmann ZH-L8 - UWATEC, SubGear
Conservative
Pelagic Z+ (similar to RGBM) - Hollis and Oceanic (as dual algorithm), TUSA IQ-750, TUSA Zen series
RGBM - Suunto, Mares, new Cressi Leonardo
Buhlmann ZHL-16C - Apeks, older TUSAs, older Cressis, Scubapro
2. Decide if you want watch-type or a wrist-top model.
3. Narrow down the list based on available brands in your area and your price target.
Hope this helps.
