Suunto D5

I got myself the lime version of the D5 and POD transmitter and I really like it. I am a scuba instructor trainer and freedive instructor and this computer allows me to benefit in both worlds with it. I had Suunto dive products for the last 16 years and that is my favorite so far. I used it on around 70 scuba dives in Indonesia, North Carolina and Mexico and on countless pool and open water freediving sessions until now.It took me a little while to customize it until I liked the settings that I would see underwater. I suggest to trim down the different displays to only see what you really need underwater otherwise you waste time scrolling through the menus underwater.The display: sometimes it appears to be hard to see at first on the surface. However in direct sunlight, on the surface and underwater it is crystal clear. The Memory in Pixel type display is very appealing and looks kind of futuristic to me.Battery life: after one charge I get 11h underwater time with "low screen brightness". If I am not underwater this charge will last probably 3-4 days. So I charge it just with my smart phone over night.In freedive mode I can feel the 15ft depth alarm vibrations through my 3mm suit, but not through my thicker suits. It gives me all I need during breathe-up and on the dive. Even an ascent and descent rate.The air integration: this feature is very useful as scuba diver and this new generation of Suunto POD work flawless. The paring was super quick and super stable for me.Accessories: I really like the different straps that Suunto offers. They are super easy to change, the silicone ones feel really good and the look stylish. I got the additional one Blue Nato and Black Silicone.Software: It has a great logbook with visualization of the dives and a very quick linking with the bluetooth app. However the app is still not 100% - I don't need a "daily goal" when I am scuba or freediving or I have not found yet how to turn that feature off in the app.I can totally recommend this product. Best price/value from Suunto since the Mosquito.And as a personal Suunto side note: Since the old Spyder and Stinger series I found the D-Series having lost a bit their character - with the exception of this new D5: that computer has character!

I'm pretty new at diving but I wanted a computer that would give all the relevant information while I'm underwater and I have to say this is a great computer. I've used it on 5 dives so far and it's pretty easy to transfer your logs to the Suunto app via bluetooth.It has different views, so as soon as you touch the water it will show you the depth screen, where you can see how deep you're and your diving time. You have a third option to switch between your max depth, your time before deco, temperature and remaining battery.You can switch to your compass view, so it can help you navigate. It's easy to lock your bearing by holding a button. To unlock it you do need to navigate into the settings menu and you need to do it once you're out the water. Your compass needs to be calibrated after every time you charge your computer.I don't have the wireless transmitter so I didn't use the gas remaining screen.When you are ascending you see if you are ascending at a good pace or if you are ascending too fast, it you're too fast it will sound an alert and vibrate. It will also recommend you deep stops and safety stop. You can configure this at the settings.After you finish diving it will show you your no fly time and your surface time.The settings menu might be confusing at first but then it's pretty easy to navigate. When diving the light is always on, so consider it when setting the bright level.

The product came exactly as described. This is a great dive computer for both recreational and tec diving. A bit expensive but a good purchase

Being in Brazil, I made this purchase with this seller and sent it to a hotel where a friend was staying and everything went well with the delivery, there was a setback but the seller kept me well informed of everything that was happening and then remade the delivery, super attentive. I recommend it to everyone

I bought for my husband and he loves it!
