Im looking to possibly invest in a dive computer soon and have had difficulty finding the right product.
Im not in need of anything really technical because ive only been diving for 7 to 8 months, but I was wondering if anybody knew of a computer that offers just a normal stop watch and features you would find on a sports watch. Calendars and daily alarms etc. would be a bonus too!
I run fairly reguarly and it would be great to find something that i can use for more activites than just diving? Are there any products on the market like this? All in one products?

G'day, mate!
Check out Aeris Manta (400$), Oceanic Geo and Geo2 (280$ and 450$ respectively) and Suunto D4 (~450$ on eBay). Aeris and Oceanics are full-featured digital wrist watches with daily alarm, stopwatch and chronograph functions, Suunto has countdown timer.
I agree on separate devices. While you can probably find something that does everything you want, you could easily wind up spending much more or getting something that is a compromise, or maybe both.
Every dive computer I have seen does everything you want. They all have stop watches and timers. They all offer calendars but I have no idea if they all do alarms, but it is likely. The problem will be size. Dive computers tend to be large. The smaller watched sized models tend to be expensive.
Buy a timex for running and use you dive computer for ummmm..... diving!
Scuapro has ther new meridian computer out that is ment to be worn all the time in and out of water. It does have some extra features you probably wont use but you never now. It is in the middle on price when it comes to dive computers.
