The wife and I recently got OWA certified and were looking to make our first gear purchase, a dive computer.
Looking around $300-350 we had narrowed it down to a pair of Oceanic Veo 3's or a Geo 2's. Then a couple of days ago, I came across the DeepBlu Cosmiq. What caught my eye was the price ($299), a very crisp easy-to-read display, and bluetooth sync which negates the need for overpriced USB cables to log your dives. However, there some things about it that put me off. The battery life is only rated at 6-7 hours per charge, not all settings can be manipulated directly from the device and require smartphone connectivity, logging your dives is limited to their app, and lastly, a proprietary algorithm.
I've been trying to dig around the net to see if I could find more user info/experience on this device only to find very little in the way of user reviews; which led me to this making this thread.
Has anyone on here had hands-on experience with the Cosmiq? Thoughts? Good, bad, ugly? Basically, looking for valid reasons to avoid this device?
