How many of you wear your wrist computer as an every day watch?

As a bifocal wearer that wears contacts while diving, I MUST have a larger display on my computer to see that close. Thats why I have the Oceanic ProPlus2. Largest display available. Reading the compass is another concern.

I wear my Suunto D9 as a daily watch. It does the job in the water and outside of the water really well.

For 5+ years I wore my Suunto Mosquito as my watch on all dive trips - so did my DH. Recently we both upgraded to the Oceanic Atom 2.0 and also wore that as a watch on the last dive trip. I like having the computer on my wrist when diving, and having it double as a watch is just an added bonus.

No problems seeing the display on either computer, and I wear monovision contacts. (One eye for reading, the other for distance.) I think the Atom display is even slightly larger than the Mosquito was.

I'm thinking about going with a puck, anyway. I really think I'd like the bigger screen. I'll probably just keep using my cell phone as a watch.

Just don't get the two of them swapped on the boat

I have a Atom 2.0 and while on vacations that include diving I wear it as a watch. When home or working I wear my dive watch a Casio G Shock. I'm much more comfortable with the idea of the watch failing than the dive computer and see no reason to allow the dive computer to endure daily abuse.

Awesome! Thanks guys.

Yeah, I had a friend walk into the Ocean a few weeks ago with his nice, expensive electronic car key. There's $250 down the BIG drain!

Very good point. I think they would probably be up to the task, but why risk it?

Thanks!

I wear my Citizen Cyber Aqualand NX as computer/watch when on dive trips. At home, it's only on when diving. I don't like the idea of it getting knocked around all the time. My wife was nice enough to buy me a Citizen EcoDrive for Christmas, so I wear that for normal everyday use.
