Xen is here!

I think we should have gotten Randy to sign a different kind of waiver before purchasing the Xen. LOL.

Anyone tried the Xeo yet? Interested to know how it compares to the X1, which I find a little hard to read

What software is the X1 you've seen using. I use reading glasses, but I can see my X1 with V-planner live without correction underwater.

Not sure... belongs to a friend, I've used it a few times. The main parts of the display I can read okay but some of the smaller stuff I find a bit hard, especially at depth. I'm long sighted in one eye and the deeper I go the harder it gets to focus both eyes together

You just need more He in the mix. :mooner:

Heheh, good one

Actually it gets progressively worse from 0m... even at 30-40m it's a little blurry looking at things close-range, like my SPG, computer or bottom timer. I have a two-window mask with a corrective lense on one side, but I don't like the mask as much as my ATomic Aquatics, so although it does make reading my gauge easier (particularly since it's my left eye that's long-sighted) I don't wear it much

As far as I'm aware, the XEO & the XEN have the same screen real estate, & use the same size fonts, which are larger than the X1. So if you can read a XEN, I imagine you'd be able to read the XEO.

Just realised we're in the Canadian forum, Maybe asking in one of the specialist forums would elicit a response from one of the XEO testers.

I know I was in the van not the dive rocket. Love it haven't got to pc interface to work yet and the dive log says that min temp on dive was 4.4 f low and 46 f high didn't feel that cold.

Yes, same real estate on the screens. On the Xeo, the numbers are a bit smaller than on the Xen because there is more information to display on the screen (gasses, deco info, etc.). The font is, however, larger than it is on the X1.

Western Canada is home to Liquivision, Shearwater, KISS, Whites, Bare, Oceaner, Brooks, Seatux, Nuytco, and Randy P. Great place to be diving around.
