    Simple, inexpensive, AI, wrist mounted, whats so funny?

    With my new bc setup I no longer have a pocket on my left side. This is where I stashed my computer for protection when not being used and I have it on a retractor which has tangle possibilities with my air 2. My solution is to get a wrist mount computer. Cheap, till the atomic cobalt wrist mount comes out, then I'll get it. So I don't want to spend much but It must have the following: 1- compass (I'm trying to have less gear hanging around, I don't want an extra piece), 2- air integration (no hoses and I want to know how much gas I have), 3- SIMPLE TO USE (as I have said before, I'm not a techy guy, this is a deal breaker It's why I decided against a bp/w and got the balanced, also why I wish I could get the cobalt wrist unit now). Be nice if it was cheap, I'm willing to go used IF I was SURE I wasn't buying someones problem. 4- nitrox capability.

    Some things it doesn't need to do: Multiple gases, multiple tanks deco diving. I will never get into that stuff (Yes, I'm sure, I'm 59 and I know where I want to go). As I see this as a stopgap computer I don't want to spend much over $400. on it. Now if it did everything I want (especially the simple to use) I could keep it and then I'd spend a thousand or so. It will also need fairly big numbers in case I'm not using my prescription mask. I like big numbers for psi, depth, dive time, yes the other stuff is good but I want those items to JUMP out at me.. When I look at the other threads it seems like everything offers many more features than I need. Perhaps I'm just looking for something that does not yet exist. Anyway, if you have an old, dependable, easy to use wrist mounted air integrated computer give me a pm, Thanks (want to trade for a uatek smart com console with 150 dives on it and a brand new battery?
    The race does not always go to the swift, nor the fight to the strong, but it's a good way to bet

    I plan to sell D9 with sensor. Needs strap change ($60 or so). I planned to sell for $600.

    “There’s a big difference between tolerance and respect. Tolerance is you saying something crazy and me smiling and saying ‘that’s nice.’ Respect is when you say something crazy and I say ‘you’re out of your f—ing mind.’ Direct confrontation, direct conversation is real respect. And it’s amazing how many people get that.” - Penn Jillette
