Announcing the SubGravity H3 - Powered by SeaBear

[stuartv]

I'm pissed off with them for lagging so far behind everyone else with regard to dive computers. They've allowed most manufacturers to leapfrog ahead of them and instead focused on silly things like "bio factors".

We're in agreement there!!

I can't even tell you how disappointed I will be if they eventually release an H3 and it is not pure Buhlmann ZHL-16B (or C) with Gradient Factors. If they add their biometric algorithm crap to it, I will surely not buy one!

You believe what SeaBear have done is the maximum one could do to keep their customers... I just happen to know at least a couple customers they lost to Shearwater who will be very hard to win back. Yet, clearly, there are some remaining die hard SeaBear believers. So, fine.

What exactly do you want them to do other than replacing the defective ones with higher and more expensive computers?

Au contraire. I think that their regs are fantastic. I'm pissed off with them for lagging so far behind everyone else with regard to dive computers. They've allowed most manufacturers to leapfrog ahead of them and instead focused on silly things like "bio factors".

The Hydros BC is a neat BCD but they announced at DEMA 2015, sold a few earlier this year then poof! Gone. No more supply.

The sad reality is that 60-80% of acquisitions result in huge gains for the seller and losses and a red face for the acquirer. I hope JO avoids that with SP.

I really like my MK25/S600, I still dive my MK5/R109 from 1972. I've had a Knighthawk for 10 years, serves me well. I've never liked their computers

duplicate, website misbehavior

Anybody else noticing the website misbehavior?

Yep. It's so slow I've had a bunch of double posts this afternoon.

For some time, I was unable to access "Community", Howard seemed to have fixed it

Yep. Suddenly much better.

And so, why didn't you state this from your first post?? I was at DEMA and I spoke to their TOP guys from the US and Europe and what I know is what they told me.

You have to talk to the right people - not the top people...LOL. I agree it sucks. They went from the Chromis to Mantis then introduced a Mantis 2 with bio factors. I can't imagine that it's walked off the shelf anywhere. Let's get realistic The Galileo was first released by Uwatec in Europe in 2006! And it hasn't changed much since then.

Biofactors not biometrics. I doubt whether they will put a fingerprint sensor or iris scanner on a dive computer
