Wrist-mounted computer aimed at recreational diving with a large backlit display for quick underwater reading. It offers Air, Nitrox, Gauge/Bottom Timer and Freedive modes, a built-in planner, and logging for analysis on PC/Mac with DM5 via a specific USB cable. Robust build with composite bezel and case, acrylic lens and elastomer strap. Four-button interface with simple menus; standard markings and safety rules in this depth-gauge category. Generous dimensions suitable for wearing over a wetsuit. Sold in several colors subject to availability. In the box: unit with battery, quick guide and screen protector. Differentiators: readability, full set of modes and simplicity; limitations: no wireless air integration and the USB cable is sold separately. LAMA signals: High Happy Lamas, Low Grumpy Lamas and Low Let-down Probability.
- On-screen readability: large numbers and backlight make depth and times effortless to check even in low light. Who doesn’t want to see it clearly at first glance? Tip: set contrast to max before boarding.
- Easy learning: four-button interface with clear menus; setting Nitrox is straightforward and puzzle-free. Ideal for first dives or as a no-nonsense backup.

For recreational divers who want a clear, straightforward and reliable computer for learning, guiding or enjoying the weekend. It also fits as a backup when you’d rather have a simple “plan B” that doesn’t steal attention. If you like the idea of pressing few buttons, seeing big numbers and then calmly reviewing your profiles in DM5, you’re at home. Tip: pre-set the planner with the day’s ranges and you’ll save menu time on the boat.
This model bets on what matters underwater: glanceable reading, hassle-free setup and straightforward planning.
