Suunto Stinger

Rhone Man · Sep 2, 2008

Thinking about buying a Suunto Stinger - welcome any comments: good, bad or indifferent.

Am particularly concerned by another post on SB which suggests that if you buy through LP it can be problematic getting the battery replaced as they are not authorised dealers. Is that fact or supposition?

I cant speak about LP as I dont know but I would imagine for warrenty purposes it would need to be purchased by and the battery changed by an authorised dealer, battery change can be a little costly. I think its a good computer with a proven track record, the down side being that the battery is not user replaceable and some people will complain about the conservative nature but I have never found it to be an issue doing OW Rec dives, do a search on this computer there are many many reviews etc. Good luck.

I'm not sure if the battery is user replaceable or not, but LP is definitely not an authorized dealer.

Leisure Pro is NOT an authorized Aqua Lung dealer

Love my stinger.

As for battery replacement through LP, I cannot comment

I've got two Stingers. One for me, the other for my wife.
Easy to use, haven't encountered any mishaps.
The only feature I miss is support for multiple gas changes.
If I was going to make the purchase today, I'd go for a Vytec DS.
Supports up to three gas mixes, user serviceable batteries.
Probably cheaper than a Stinger.
