I bought one as soon as I saw it was usable as a dive computer.
$800 for a dive computer that I’d also wear as a daily watch is a steal - I’ve been procrastinating buying a dive computer because the ones that wirelessly integrate with air supply are super expensive $1000+. I don’t see any announcement of wireless air integration for the new watch yet, but I’m hoping Oceanic capitalizes on their partnership with Apple by adding Bluetooth to their transmitter (https://www.oceanicworldwide.com/product/computers/transmitter/?v=7516fd43adaa https://www.oceanicworldwide.com/product/computers/transmitt...)
My partner might get one too after we test mine out. We have 10+ friends who a) already have and enjoy Apple Watch and b) are scuba certified. I don’t think any of them have a Garmin/Suunto type sports watch yet…
- jfengel 4y agoI was wondering... does bluetooth work underwater? Perhaps by occasionally bringing the watch very close to the regulator?
- jitl 4y agoIt's super short range - like cm of range because water is really good at absorbing 2.4ghz. Other diving accessories for Apple devices use Bluetooth as a bridge to their own radio / features, so maybe a slide-on case or watch band could add an adapter to a Mhz radio.
