The XR-1 Nx is as versatile underwater as it is topside. Upon starting your dive, the XR-1 NX will simply display your current depthand how long you can stay there (Dive Time Remaining). While many divers have asked for such simplicity and ease of use, you know that with all the XR-1 Nx's features, there must be more - and there is. Simply press the button to see more information. Is this information important to you on a full time basis? Leave it there. Just want to check it and then move on to another display? You can do that too. It's up to you and your new XR-1 Nx. Variable ascent rate indicator will keep you safe upon ascent and slow you down progressively as you head to the surface. Safety stop timer will give you the ability to include the all important 15 ft safety stop which is recommended by all instructional agencies. AERIS Dive Computers are designed with color-coded bar graphs; grey, yellow and red. These graphs monitor nitrogen accumulation and your personal ascent rate. Pixels buildup in each of these color-coded areas to give you a quick, easy reference of these parameters. Proper monitoring of these graphs allows youto select the personal degree of conservatism you wish to build into each dive, putting you in control of your margin of safety.
Any diver will agree that an air supply is the most important part of scuba diving - right next to water, of course. The pressure gauge included in the Aeris XR-1 NX Computer Console won't let you down. It accurately reports your remaining air pressure, and the pressure gauge is easy to read due to its contemporary display. Pressure gauge is also equipped with a thermometer to monitor both water and air temperature. Pressure gauge has a luminescent dial for ease of reading in low light or night diving conditions.
One of the most important skills in diving is navigation and for accurate navigation, you need a compass that is not only accurate but easy to read and use. With the AERIS side reading compass, the diver is able to hold the compass level and still be able to easily read the headings through the cut out window on the side. Quick responding and accurate compass large ratchet bezel, high visibility lubber line, direct and reciprocal index points, all three gauges have luminescent dials for ease of reading in low light or night diving conditions.

Comments about Aeris Aeris XR1 NX 3 Gauge Computer Console with Compass:
Have only use the computer consol once but it did everything i wanted. I compared it to my computer and it was very close. The assent alarm was a little more sensivive than mine but all in all it was good. I bought this unit for my wife and it will do everything and more that she will be using it for.It also dose nytrox and would make a great back up computer For someone more advanced
I did not use the compass but the numbers are easy to use and the besle turns easy.

Comments about Aeris Aeris XR1 NX 3 Gauge Computer Console with Compass:
My only complaint is that after your surface, the computer still cycles through the tables. I just want to see the most recent information. Maybe you can change this feature and I just didn't see it in the manual

Comments about Aeris Aeris XR1 NX 3 Gauge Computer Console with Compass:
Great price, but I just dove with 2 buddies with the same unit. We all indicated quite different temperatures and ascent rates doing identical things. Temps varied by 5 degrees. This makes you a bit nervous about the other more important readings. One buddy said there was a huge variation in allowed bottom time between his and the DM's Suunto when he did a deep wreck dive. The Suunto was more conservative.
The ascent rate indicator memory is useless as, at some time in every dive, the 3 bar maximum will be exceeded. At the end of the dive, an average ascent rate readout would be better.
Having said that, it is an excellent entry level computer (or it'd non-nitrox sister model)
One of the three of us had to change a battery and had an o-ring problem and a following flood. The flood only affected the battery, not the computer as Aeris seals off the two areas pretty well. It should come with a spare O-ring or two though.
I would buy another one (in fact I already have as a previous one went overboard without a wearer).

Comments about Aeris Aeris XR1 NX 3 Gauge Computer Console with Compass:
Aeris computers have long been among the most reliable available. Why in the world they decided to change the battery compartment over from a simple coin slot to its present complicated configueration is an absolute mystery to me. It practically takes a degree in engeering to change the battery. I predict a lot of flooded computers due to failure to get the compartment cap and o-ring properly installed, which probably means this particular battery cover will be short lived. Let's hope so.

Comments about Aeris Aeris XR1 NX 3 Gauge Computer Console with Compass:
Bought this elsewhere, but I like it and would recommend for an entry computer. One complaint I have though is that the ascent monitor is so sensitive that if I move my arm to fast or something (or just turn vertical too fast for the ascent) then the visual alarm is already going off and I have to wait a minute before starting my ascent. Wish it did averages (temp/depth) like suunto's, but still a good computer.
