Please can someone who owns a Sea Pathfinder SPF-70 let me know what they think of it?
As my old watch has bitten the dust, I think that a replacement which includes a depth gauge and a bottom timer could be pretty useful. I can get one for about the same price as other watches I am looking at buying. This won't be a replacement for a computer in the long term although I don't dive enough to justify the expense of a computer right now. Also, if anyone knows of a digital watch other than the Aqualand that includes a depth gauge then I would be very interested to know.
Some questions:
- Is the bottom timer started automatically on entering the water? I have heard conflicting reports.
- Can you stop the bottom timer prematurely whist keeping the dive information? (thus I can log the time from starting descent to starting ascent rather than total time in the water)
- Can you use the stopwatch whist retaining the dive information? I have been told you can't switch to the compass without losing the logged info, but switching to a stopwatch may be useful for timing safety stops.
- Is the titanium strap easy to adjust? Usually it would be adjusted for my wrist, but how easy would it be to change the strap length to fit over a wetsuit and then back again when the dive is finished?
Thanks.
