A few of you have mentioned diving with gloves (in cold water). Could those of you that do that let us know what computer they currently use for those dives, as a reference?

Petrel and teric. Both work without problems with thick dry gloves. Also used shinto cobra before, but plastic buttons were really hard to use on cold water. Have you considered making display round? That way compass works nicer. Even better if display would be 2x size of teric.A few of you have mentioned diving with gloves (in cold water).

For some divers. Others will appreciate a recharging system that does not involve opening and resealing a battery compartment each time with inherent flood risk. You can’t be all things to all people.Considering previous replies, a rechargeable AND ruser replaceable battery seems to be the ideal option...?
Gonna be division on that. Give us both.Considering previous replies, a rechargeable AND ruser replaceable battery seems to be the ideal option...?
Hi! Yes, the screen will be recessed, like you describe. Edges will be smooth and polished, also like you describe. Regarding the battery, not decided yet, but we are leaning towards having a rechargeable battery. Thoughts?

Then include a charge connection so that rechargeable can be charged without removing. Battery format can be reasonably detected by measuring voltage, and recharge circuitry disabled in a non-rechargable or out of range rechargeable.
It turns out to be not so easy or foolproof to reliably detect battery type and chemistry. You end up depending on users to input what they installed to enable or disable charging. Sooner or later someone will have a non- rechargeable in there and plug in a charger...I'm not so sure about that: can you really tell a Li-ion charged to 1.2v from an eneloop just by measuring voltage? You could probably detect something that would require much extra work...
And of course not doing that means someone will put it on charge with a regular alkaline inside and have themselves a nice little BOOM.
