Just finished my first dive with my new Atmos 2 wrist unit. It seems to meet my expectations but I've got to ask whether that back-light is broken?
In the ads, and on the Aeris website, the demo shows a pretty bright blue color. I decided that feature would increase the contrast and make it super easy to read in the dark and in low (I'm in Puget Sound) visibility. Alas, no. Its a darkish green not too much lighter than the dark dial and it bleeds through the graphics to wash them out too.
So I'm writing to determine two things. Thing one, is it supposed to be like this? If so then the demo on the Aeris website is not advertising what the customer is buying. There's a term for that but I'm not sure what it is...
If it's broken I'll gladly work within the warranty framework to get it repaired or replaced.
Thing two, was that ad misleading?
Divers that I've talked to like their Atmos 2 units very much and I feel I will too but I really would like an opinion on this back-light issue. I suppose in night-dive conditions it would be fine. I'll be finding out soon, but I'm not too happy with it the way it is.
Thanks for any feedback.
