I am about to take my Open Water Cert class. I have been doing lots of research on equipment just because I am so excited to get diving and the research at least quinches that thirst a bit. I called the dive shop where I will be doing my certification to see if it was possible to use the gear my research led me to want to try out while doing my cert so that I could see if I liked it. I told him that I wanted to check out the Oceanic VT Pro Hoseless wrist computer. Apparently they only rent a few models at this store (mostly lower end stuff) so I wouldn't be able to try this model out with him. No big deal but then he said that I would most likely have serious buyer's remorse if I spent a bunch of money on a computer early on. Why would this be? It seems to me that any quality dive computer would last quite some time. I plan to do a lot of diving and would rather spend the money now to get a quality product that will last the next 5-8 years than constantly upgrading. I want a versatile computer that is very easy to read and use. Any idea why this or any quality computer might cause buyer's remorse?
