Shearwater Teric

[UWPhotoKeith]

This is the first dive computer/wrist watch I have considered purchasing mainly because I already have a Petral and love the simple and clear Shearwater interface. The Teric looks to follow the Shearwater dive computer design philosophy. For a technical diver the Teric would make an excellent backup computer or a great Rec computer. I am in no way affiliated with Shearwater, just a user....

At 200 Loonies more than the Perdix AI's MSRP, this must be helluva dc...

That is awfully expensive, and I really don't need it but boy do i want it. - wonder if this will cause a bunch of lightly used Perdix for sale

Does it have a GPS?

 

[CT Sean]

Does not appear so, based on an absence of the term GPS in the manual (available here Teric - Shearwater Research ) and no suggestion that it has it in the "announcement" post in the Shearwater sub The Shearwater Teric Announced

I've been really taken with the ability of my Perdix to use a standard AA battery. I don't know exactly what the alternative for this form factor is, but I am hesitant about carrying along a charger and then having to return the computer to a service center at least every five years for a battery change. If I was able to dive many times a year, the trouble could be worth it, but at only one or two trips per year at my current rate, it seems like too much trouble and expense. Wish there was a way to use a standard or use replaceable battery.

I still want it, but I'm not dying to get it.
