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

[NeveSSL]

Ok, so, its fairly obvious at least 99.99% of everyone are not going to wear a puck.

BUT, there are other options. Specifically the Aeris Manta and I think Oceanic has a sports-sized watch thats a computer.

The biggest downside to these watches/computers is that the displays are obviously smaller than a puck.

Having only 5 logged dives in anything other than the pool, I'm not sure how important a large display is to me. How many of you place a prime importance on the size of the display?

Thanks guys!

I have watches. They are excellent timepieces.

I don't expect them to be good dive computers, and I don't expect dive computers to be good watches.

On a hardcore dive vacation, I suppose I could see letting a computer pull double duty as a watch, but every day? Why? No thanks.

I wear my Citizen Aqualand daily, which is mostly a watch with some limited dive functionality.

I wear my Mares Nemo as a watch on most days. I get a lot of compliments on it as a timepiece and most never know its a dive computer. For recreational diving, I find it to be a great computer (it has a pretty large display I think...anyway, quite easy to read except at night).

ooh ooh pick me!

I recently purchased a Scubapro "Extender" to replace my dive watch as a backup bottom timer. The Extender is actually a computer and as often as not, I have found myself just keeping it on as a watch.

Gives me 2 computers while diving.

But normally as CD says, I don't expect a computer to be a watch. What I have done is to stop using my watch for diving.

True, I'm wasn't really counting those. I love my Aqualand, but it's more a watch than a computer.

I have good eyes (knock on wood) still, but it's still a lot easier to glance at a larger display and see the big number in a flash than it is to focus in on a tiny watch display.

Yeah, the Aqualand is what I have replaced with the SP computer for diving. Can slide through my wetsuit.

Thanks for all the replies, guys.

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.

I use my cell phone as my watch. I use my Aeris Manta as my dive computer, and find the screen a fine size to read.

Glad to hear from a Manta user. Thanks!
