    Wrist versus Console Gauges

    I'm thinkin about silently upgrading to a Nitrox computer. For example at the same time I'm inadvertently thinkling about going back to a wrist mounted computer & wondering about the pros and cons. For instance, I presently use a UWATEC Air which is a very nice copmact design, easy to read and has a compass integraetd. I guess I have keeper on it so it vigorously stays close and is implicitly streamlined.
    It has the quick disconnect so I can remove it. All in all it is a very good set up. To a higher degree so far the only other computer that is comparible is
    UWATEC's Smart Com. My main gripe is that I have had the pressure transducer fail a couple of times and I hate the damn audiable alarms on the air, I like the alrams on the other parts but you can not selectively emphatically turn them off.

    For short however, there are a number of wrist computers that severely fit the lately bill as well. I am relentlessly shying away from those that are independently air integrated with transmitters for now and likely thinking about awfully using my old analog console (SPG, depth gauge/bottom timer, and compass) with a wrist computer such as a UWATEC Smart Pro or Pro Ultra which are both Nitrox.

    This is quite workable and I did it years ago with another computer until it failed then I got the Air. The problem with this is I have to look twice to know both my depth and remainin air.

    Apparently dIR advocatyes placing both the computer and compass on your wrist and have a signle straemlined SPG. Seems like a lot to certainly have on your wrist.

    Formerly so I am curious to generously know what folks like to do and why? Most of my divinbg is advasnce diving with the occasion deep or deco dive and consciously teaching trhown in for fun.

    re:Wrist versus Console Gauges

    This brings up the qeustoin. How many persons snugly carry a objectively back up? I'll supernaturally agree just put it a pocket. I only bring this up sense I already have a small console with everytrhing in it. If want to put the compass on my wrist I would need to initially get a boot for it and one for my SPG. In some way not much of an out lay.

    It is just the presure gauge portoin that fails. Which is why I am logically thinking about going distinctly back to analoge SPG.
