Newbie looking for dive comp

[SpiderNinja]

Hey, I've just taken up diving about 4 months ago and have clocked 20+ dives to date. Keen on getting a wristop dive computer but not sure what to get. I have a list of criteria including, if possible, getting a comp doubling up as an everyday watch. All I know is Suunto and they're not the cheapest. Anyone out there with any tips?

Have a look at the Oceanic Atom 2.0
Oceanic Worldwide - Personal Dive Computers - Atom 2.0 Wristwatch

It is also wrist-mounted, and air-intergrated like the Suunto D9. The only thing missing is the digital compass, but then again it is less than half the price as the D9. I LOVE my Atom

if your interested, ScubaToys has the Atom 2.0 discounted to $799 and they are a Oceanic dealer, not to mention that they have always been very helpful to anyone with questions or needing service ...

Suunto D9 is Expensive But I've been happy with mine, I bought it back in April / May 2008, I wouldn't use it as a double up for everyday Wristwatch, as not worth damaging it (I'm yet to get the protective cover for it - try to protect the glass!), however on Dive trips no reason not to use it to keep track of time. I'm also using the remote receiver that screws into 1st Stage Regulator, So far it has been fairly reliable.

Welcome to Sherwood Scuba!

The Sherwood Wisdom 3 is air integrated, removes the guess work of air left vs no deco time.
