Did the obligatory search and found nothing on the Uwatek Sol...a state of the art wrist computer with transmitter that does, it seems, everything but defog your mask for you. Since my Suunto Cobra crashed a mere three months after the five year warranty on major parts ran out..sigh...I"m in the market for a new 'puter.
And it's between these two.
My question is this:
Does anyone 'out there' have a Uwatek SOL (it's been out about one year), and if so, what do you think of it?
Ease of use, any problems, what you like about it, etc.
Also, same questions for the Vitek.
Sol is more expensive, but my dive shop will make me a good deal so the price between the two is not too far off. The Sol monitors heart-rate, has digital navigation (tilt does not affect it either), really really nice, large readouts, and all sorts of interesting whistles and bells. Pretty easy to use, it seems.
Vitek is very similar in "face" to the Cobra..a little harder to work, read, and doesn't have the dig. nav. or heart rate monitor.
So, again, any "Sol" users out there? What think ye?
Any VItek users..same questions?
THanks a bunch.
HOpefully, whatever I choose won't crash on me at 40 feet like the last one did. Fortunately, it wasn't a difficult or deep dive.
