Does anyone use a bottom timer as their prmary gauge. Back up gauge? Does anyone know about the Dacor model?

I use an older Parkway version of the Uwatec bottom timer as the primary instrument for depth and time (along with the deco plan and continegency plans on a slate) and use my Sherwood Wisdom as the backup (in either nitrox mode or gauge mode depending on the dive parameters).

I am not sure what Dacor model you are referring to.

Lots of tech divers do for both.

The Dacor model is old as dirt.(as in not made in over 12 years)

I use the pressure guage as my primary so I don't run out of air. I time with a Casio G-Shock watch. I know how deep it is so depth isn't an issue. I have a Oceanic Veo for back up but very seldom look at it.

I just put my computer (UWATEC Aladin Tec) in gauge mode - the classic UWATEC BT (sold under a few different brands) lack some features (stop watch, dive data download) that I want.

I use an Uwatec Digital Bottom Timer. I have an analog Depth guage, and G-Shock in pocket as backups.

I have been looking a the Aladdin Tec, like the download feature.

Yup - I just found a Dacor made in 1989 that is new-old-stock as in never been used. Changeable battery (lithium like a camera battery). New batt and presto, brand new Dacor bottom timer. Does anyone know athing about these instruments? Reliable? Pre 2000, Dacor made good equipment.
