I just don't log dives
So I'm looking for a new computer. Basically after getting my clients set up to go in the water I want to be able to throw my gear on and go. Currently I keep a compass, watch and computer on my wrist. Now It dose't take that long to throw it all on but it's frustrating none the less. Especially when I'm in a hurry to get my BC on and all the wrist stuff is getting stuck.

Well switching over to a console seems like a great Idea But I really like to have every thing on my wrist for a quick glance as opposed to messing with an over sized console. Plus I just feel all Johnny Quest with all my info on my wrist!

Solution All in one Wrist(Watch Style) computer.

So I check those out and yuck they are expensive but they sure look cool!

Well Air Integration is not really on my wish list I would carry an SPG anyway so that bulk is there to stay nor are 3 switchable gas Mixes.

However I notice that all the compass integrated models I have found seem to have air integration and the price tag that comes with it?

This appears a bit nuts seeing that my $20 Casio has a compass on it why should I have to pay and extra 300 for a compass on a dive watch?

Has any one come across something to the contrary?

If Sunto or Oceanic are listing please build my Budget computer!

Now that I have sounded like a proper, Cheep, Spoiled Brat I'll open this up for Criticism.
 
You can get it without the transmitter and cut the cost. Computer are a lot cheaper then when they first came out.
