SHEARWATER Research Teric Wrist Dive Computer

I have been diving for over 30 years, I have owned 6 different computers. this is by far the most intuitive and full featured computer, no matter what level you are diving, you will not be disappointed.

Having logged 70+ dives now in various water conditions I can say the Teric is about as good as it gets for a no nonsense dive computer that isn't as clunky as some other models out there which could compete on a similar functionality level. The combination with the transmitter makes diving both from a safety but also logging perspective a "joy". The Shearwater app makes it incredibly easy to sync the watch alongside the transmitter data into your digital logbook for further use and analysis. The computer itself is very intuitive as it relates to setup and usage. The display is easy to read and organize as well as very bright under water so not issues looking at all your dive data even while in the deep or rather darker caves etc. Switching between different gas mixes is equally easy done. In addition personally prefer the rather conservative algorithm calculating NDL etc. while diving. The computer also allows easy pairing with two transmitters at the same time which is a major upside when heading to more challenging dives with you buddy. Overall very happy with the purchase and can highly recommend both devices.

I spent the better part of a day reading the entire operators manual and going through familiarization with the hundreds of features on this dive watch. The customization options are practically endless but the watch is still relatively easy to set up and simple to use during dives. Display visibility underwater is second to none but they do warn of screen burn in with AMOLED displays so I would recommend keeping settings away from always on modes for anything other than a dive. Definitely pricey but if taken care of, I can see this being the last dive watch I will ever need! If you pair it with a SWFT transmitter, I recommend a small extension HP hose off your reg to help keep connection between devices. I have six dives so far with this set up and I never lost connection once. If you do decide to add one, you'll have to pick up a HP air spool to connect them as Shearwater does not include one with their transmitters. HOG and XS scuba both have cheap air spool options on Amazon that work with it. If you splurge on one piece of dive kit, I would make it this Teric. I don't regret this buy!

Purchased this dive watch just before the pandemic and just got the chance to use it. Did 12 dives with it and was very impressed. It has every option you could want for a technical dive watch, but is very easy to use for a recreational diver. The menus are extremely easy to navigate. The display is bright and clear. For full disclosure, if you are out of the water and in extremely bright conditions, the display does not appear bright but can be read. An important consideration for me in choosing this watch was the fact that it is rechargeable. The wireless charging station works very well. The watch has good battery life while in use. I would do 2 40-minute dives a day, and starting with a full charge, I would be at between 75 and 80% charge after 2 days of diving with the display at full brightness and wirelessly downloading the dive data. This was without the wireless pressure gauge recording tank pressure. I don’t know how that affects battery life. The watch and wrist strap are rugged and well made. While I chose this watch because it was rechargeable and seemed to have the best brightness among the contenders, its capabilities have really impressed me. Overall, this is the best dive watch/console I’ve used and would highly recommend it.

Screen was extremely easy to read both above and below water. Bluetooth integration with my iPhone to transfer dive information was simple. The computer is well built, easy to use as a normal watch. The AI transmitter was simple to pair and work flawlessly.
