Small wrist computer

[jonnythan]

I'm considering a move back to a computer from a plain ol bottom timer.

What's the smallest wrist computer out there? It seems like most of them are big bulky units meant for consoles that just happen to also have some sort of wrist mount. I have a Timex Helix DM depth gauge that's pretty awesome.

Is there anything actually wrist-sized out there? Even the Zoop is kind of a wrist monster.

I think the liquivision is the smallest trimix capable computer.

[jonnythan]

Definitely don't need trimix functionality.

[HowardE]

I use a Suunto D9 for daily wear. It's pretty small. It's a watch.

Also, the Oceanic OC1 is reasonably small... I had one of those, but sold it.

[jonnythan]

I should further specify I don't want any sort of wireless or air-integrated functionality and would like something fairly inexpensive.

Liquidvision's other non-trimix offerings are quite impressive...

That leaves you with Pucks.

[jonnythan]

That's sad.

i loved my nitek plus. it, sadly, is discontinued, but i know there were clones at the time. i don't know what they were or who made them, but i'm sure you can search it out somehow. if a plus clone is still being made, or if you can find one on ebay or whatever, that would fill the bill. wristwatch size (i wore it as a watch daily for years, just be sure to set gas 2 to something - even 21% - so it doesn't beep whenever you wash your hands), 2 gas, easy to navigate, liberal algorithm without being stupidly loose.

Oceanic Geo is smaller than a puck though slightly larger than a daily wristwatch. Pretty inexpensive, too... No integration...

[BabyDuck]

couple of years old, and talking about the duo instead of the plus, but might point you toward some clones.

if you dont want wireless, you could pick up a older Suunto D4 or D6. Oceanic Geo or Geo II, Aeris Manta and Uwatec Meridian are all reasonably priced watch sized computers.

+1 on the Oceanic Geo 2...

How about picking up a used mosquito for cheap. I have one as a backup, works great, small as a wristwatch, and picked it up for 50 bucks on craigslist.

Add Oceanic OCS and TUSA Zen to the list above.

Thanks!

I have a 12 y/o Suunto Mosquito that I still dive. I'll admit though that it's not that great for night diving although fortunatly I don't really need to look at it all that often on the kinds of dives that I do.

Cheap, simple, conservative

Assuming Im reading the OP correct and its a wrist mount computer as opposed to a wrist watch computer then the Liquivision Kaon looks great albeit a little spendy.
