Suunto Mosquito - recurring problem

[El Orans]

Today, my Mosquito had its usual problem once again.

Sometime during the dive, it reset itself. This problem has happened before. Several times.

I had it looked at by my LDS but it still keeps coming back.

Is this a problem for my Mosquito only or have other Mosquito owners experienced the same problem?

Did you buy it new or second hand?

 

[El Orans]

New, at my LDS at the time.

Hi,

Me and my buddy have had Mosquitoes for several years, never a problem.

I'd push to have it factory checked, and press for warranty repair/replacement.

Especially for something like this, it helps to point out the the manufacturer that while you can sell many computers, you only get to sell your reputation once.

Cheers,
Walter

I had a problem once time with the wrong depth, the depth was deeper than real, about 5 meters.

I have a Mosquito with 500 plus dives, & never a problem. One thing to check; some computers do some resetting such as air mix at midnight. My wife's Cressi did. The reason I mention it is because if you use a 12 hour clock you might have noon & midnight reversed, & this may cause your problem. To avoid this, set the clock in 24 hour mode, then change to 12 hour mode if you prefer.
If this doesn't solve the problem, I suggest discussing a warrantee exchange with the merchant. Computers are generally digital. By this, I mean they either work perfectly or are paperweights.

Warranty might be a problem (it's 5 years old).

It has always been running in 24 hour mode.

Never had this problem and it has been a great watch, but the buttons kept popping off and have been replaced 3 times now and it is sitting on a table waiting to get a set in a 4th time.

Suunto just informed me that they have given up and offer me a D4 at 50% off >> EUR 199, a D6 would be EUR 347. Choice, choices...
