SHEARWATER RESEARCH Teric Wrist Dive Computer (Blue)

Received the Teric. Very impressed, it is large but not to0 heavy for a medium sized male 185 lb. The display is very good and starting to learn the functions is proving easy. I like the new detachable strap configuration which is different than the versions reviewed on youtube. I am looking forward to diving with it. Buttons work well and the manual is pretty good. Compared to a 200-300 dollar dive watch which flooded and had buttons that didn't work well and was near impossible to cycle, this dive watch version of a dive computer seems to fit the bill. No need for a dive watch any more since this can be worn on vacation as a watch and dive computer. I like the no battery charging and watch / computer functionality.

Purchased this dive watch just before the pandemic and just got the chance to use it. Did 12 dives with it and was very impressed. It has every option you could want for a technical dive watch, but is very easy to use for a recreational diver. The menus are extremely easy to navigate. The display is bright and clear. For full disclosure, if you are out of the water and in extremely bright conditions, the display does not appear bright but can be read. An important consideration for me in choosing this watch was the fact that it is rechargeable. The wireless charging station works very well. The watch has good battery life while in use. I would do 2 40-minute dives a day, and starting with a full charge, I would be at between 75 and 80% charge after 2 days of diving with the display at full brightness and wirelessly downloading the dive data. This was without the wireless pressure gauge recording tank pressure. I don’t know how that affects battery life. The watch and wrist strap are rugged and well made. While I chose this watch because it was rechargeable and seemed to have the best brightness among the contenders, its capabilities have really impressed me. Overall, this is the best dive watch/console I’ve used and would highly recommend it.

I bought this computer for our live aboard trip to Galapagos and it worked perfectly through our quite demanding dives. Pros: + Probably the most obvious feature of this computer is a very intuitive design of its interface: no need to look into the manual, very easy switch among dive, watch, log, bluetooth and other modes. + Very easy programming of gases and dive modes. + Easy and reliable integration with the tank pressure transmitter (AI). + Bright colors and easy reading of all info even in low light. + Detailed, informative and well organized logs. + Nice aesthetic design. Cons: - only one: quite heavy, which can be explained by its range of usability up to 200 m. I am not doing tech diving and couldn't evaluate its tech diving features.

Like I said, it's Shearwater. When your life is in the mix, use the product with the best algorithm. The great looks and simplicity of use are the bonus. I literally put my life behind it. That said, if you are a novice diver just doing 2 ATA dives, there are cheaper options. There is no substitute if you are going 5+ or in overhead environments.

This is my fifth air-integrated dive computer and I will say that it is hands-down the best of the lot. Shows me everything I need in one beautiful, easy to read screen. Pairs easily and repeatedly which I can’t say for other computers I’ve used. There is nothing like the stress of trying to re-pair a computer as everyone else on the boat is back-rolling into the water for a drift dive. More than once with previous computers, I’ve gone into the water with no air pressure info other than a check for full tank at the start. This unit is flawless in maintaining pairing on every dive. Comfort is also I big plus since this computer is so much less bulky-probably half the diameter and one fourth the thickness and conventional “puck” style- without compromising display details. A little on the pricey side after adding a transmitter (I happened to have a compatible Oceanic) but definitely worth it. Qualifier: I am a non-technical, warm water, non-nitrox diver but have over 400 dives. Although this model has advanced capabilities for mixed-gas, etc, I cannot speak to those features.
