New Freediving Computer to be unveiled at DEMA 08

[ILDiver]

Thank you - can't wait to see it in print. To be in this months Hawaiian Skin Diver - anniversary edition.

The next issue I believe has a tribute to Stody too!

Can't wait to see this in print too, then in person somewhere. I saw Martin's proto just after he got it. I'll have to order one at some point.

Great add!

Hi Doug, nice advertisement, like Fondueset explained great alignment, nice colours too.
On thing though, in the field of Trux was hinting at, the text; at parts it's hard to read becaus it stands to little out from the background. In order to preserve the colour alignment I suggest a thin dark or black glow around the letters.

I have another idea, maybe you want to give a special guarantee of replacement of their computer in case they succeed in breaking their F10 in an official AIDA competition? Or some variation with for instance breaking an National CWT, FIM, CNF record, within the first year of purchase, or limit until the end of 2010?
You can call it "F10 broken Records", and have a hall of fame on your F10 webpage.
Maybe offer a price for the first person to do a F10 broken record for CNF?
In CWT for men Martin has already claimed the first price, but who will take the FIM?
For the Women all are still open for grabs, will Natalia be the first, or Sara, or ...

I love to see and test the F10, I'll tell my friends about it.

Love, Courage and Water,

Kars

Another Idea occured to me: Maybe I can hang my A10 on a rope and lower it to bellow -100 to enter the hall of fame...
No, seriously: I think one broken A10 can be turned into an advantage with some smart advertising (as is a case here) but an army of broken computers sounds like a dissaster.
Nice looking watch by the way.

Very cool add, the time should be 3:36 though? OH I got ya, it is only half the dive time since it broke? Hmm, that might be a little too clever...

 

[Hantmcg]

but does it have to be Lumo yellow?! urgh... not very sexy! hehe

I checked his profile... I wanted to show his max depth - and the time that he arrived there. Martin questioned it initially as well - can't remember exactly why, but he was happy with my reasoning.

Doug,

Can you give a quick list of US online sellers that have the watch in stock, or that will have it soon? Thanks

 

[Doug Krause]

I would assume all will have it soon. We've initially got just a handful of units - there are more coming out of production in the next week or two. This first run is going out to our warehouse in Hawaii - to Australia - and to just a couple of retailers here in the USA that have had orders in place since the minute they saw it. Martin will be selling the watch - and getting some from the first shipment - as will Austin's

More copper or bronze than yellow..

It is amazing that the dive took EXACTLY the same time on descent as ascent, the guy is incredible. Martin is also very laid back, if it was anyone else they would have insisted on the entire dive time being advertised.

[dforcucci]

What is the warranty on the F.10? One site in Australia indicated 5 years?
Dive Computers -
AERIS F10 FREEDIVING WATCH, FREEDIVERS WATCH, F10 -

Will the GEO computer cable work with the F.10?

[dforcucci]

Scubatoys.com quoted me $377. It probably will take a while for the price to come down to where it should be, but you are still getting the benefit of Martin's design input which IMHO justifies the cost.

 

[DivingDane]

yep warranty in Australia will be 5 years i'm pretty sure but thats a warranty that the australian importer has decided to give on ALL oceanic product.

as far as the cable i think it should work with the F10 seeing as it is the same base housing and data connection points only the software will be different.

DD

first shipment of austraalian units lands!

 

[dforcucci]

Hmmmm....
No f.10s to be bought.....
And silence

I saw this computer in person last night. The Oceanic Rep came through. All I got to do was push buttons and dream. If you have a Geo or similar in the line, then the functionality is familiar. I looked through the setup screens and such. There is of course only one dive mode. The watch had no dives on it so I could not view a log or anything.

Very nice, if I could buy one I would. The price is supposed to be the same as the Geo.
