What customers say about "Key Specs"

Cressi Giotto Wrist Computer

It's a well-constructed computer that is good for entry level divers, and supports multiple gas mixtures.
I love this watch. It has made diving so much more fun and stress free. If you are looking for diving equipment to invest in, I definitely recommend this watch.
And I will say it performed admirably. I took it off the coast of Columbia and dove to approximately 75 ft and it handled perfectly.
Also the band on this computer is large. I'm a big guy and putting it around my wrist has a lot of overlap. No problems just information.
The wrist computer is just the right size ... Easy to read and with a good wrist band.

Suunto Zoop Novo Dive Computer Wrist Watch

You can read up before you use it or just hit the water. It activates itself at about 2' and guides you from there.
Simple and friendly interface. I used this computer during our trip and info were consistent with my husband Aladin Scuba Pro computer.
It has all of the modes necessary for anyone but the most experienced technical diver.
I love my Suunto! It is great for all divers for just a general dive watch.
I'm happy with the watch. First 2 dives at about 8m Max depth.

What customers say about "Features"

Cressi Giotto Wrist Computer

After getting Nitrox certified, I decided it was time to get a multi-gas computer and after some research and talking to the experts at the local dive shop, chose the Giotto.
The interface is fairly intuitive and the three button controls make it easy to navigate.
It lets you know how many minutes you need for your rest stop based on the depth of your dive, the water temperature, if you are ascending or descending too rapidly, etc.
After a dive it displays the surface interval and saturation time, as well as a no-fly indicator.
. They worked great! I loved the large display. Very user friendly.

Suunto Zoop Novo Dive Computer Wrist Watch

Beeps at you if you are ascending too quickly. Beeps at you if you are about to pass no decomp bottom time.
The monitor is big and easy to read even in situation of low light or low visibility.
They are easy to use, and we really like the four button interface - it helps navigating around the software.
We also really enjoy the ability to do either electroluminescent OR phosphorescent back-light during night dives.
This is a very easy to use non-Aire integrated dive computer. The numbers are large and easy to read.
