Re: need help - freediving computer

Hi Vali,

What do you want to do with your dive watch/computer?

Would you like to have a very simple unit that just gives you a readout of key parameters: depth, max. depth, surface interval?

You can actually get that information, and recall it with a simple Promaster Aqualand watch from Citizen. Which I've been enjoying, even though it has a useless alarm feature for ascent rate that I don't need.

I like it too because it has analogue hands, and I'm an old-school kind of guy who likes to set the bezel so i can see at a glance how long I've been in the water.

You can get the battery-powered Aqualands on eBay really cheap (as low as 100 euro) since they've been replaced by the new eco-drive Aqualands.

There are lots of other watches that do the same thing, even better- the Sector Dive Master f.e.

Would you like to be able to download the records of your dives to your computer? There are lots of fancier computer models that have specific freediving modes and data link interfaces, but prices are way higher.

I have had a Hyper Aqualand, which I haven't used for a while, I've been finding just recalling the details to the display of the watch is good enough for what I've been doing lately.
