Ocean

Garmin descent g2, more budget friendly than the fenix 8 or descent mk2/3 if you want in to the Garmin world. Suunto ocean, cheaper than the fenix and mk2/3 but more premium than the g2 as has colour screen etc. The above will give you amazing battery life, I have a mk3i and get about a month out of

I believe the Suunto Nautic is almost just a dive computer, where as the Garmin descent line are dive computers and full active/sport/smart watch. I believe the Suunto Ocean would be a better comparison. Between garmin and Suunto ocean, I find the garmins to be better. I find they look better, have

The Shearwater computers are dive computers. You are only getting a dive computer. The Suunto Ocean is a dive computer + sports watch + outdoor GPS, etc. Personally, I have a watch I use for outdoor activity and a Shearwater for diving.

They offered me a D5 for £280 with free shipping. Their response has been quick and easy. My wife is using the D5 now. I use a Gar

I'd argue that the Suunto Ocean does all of that for almost a third of the price...

The Suunto Ocean is a really great dive computer. but if you're not going to dive more it would be a total waste of money. 500 is a really good deal though, so perhaps you can bribe yourself by making a deal. If you get this, you're gonna have to dive more. At least every year, preferrably more.

Yeh, im the same, and my Suunto Ocean does all the same stuff as the Garmin mk3 except for the technical diving stuff and only cost me €500. The Garmin is €1650
