Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

I used this computer for approx 150 dives and was very happy with it. Unfortunately I lost it. Anyway, it did everything I needed and was easy to use. It was more conservative than my buddy's Aladin, and I always clicked into deco before him. However it wasn't really a big deal. My only complaints is on two occasions I didn't notice the low battery warning symbol and it ran out on me mid dive. I feel they could make this much more obvious. I also recommend the battery be replaced at more frequent intervals than the manual states, and definitely before every dive trip. This is cheap and easy to do.

By the way this computer is made by Seiko and is also re-badged as Tusa IQ-700, Apeks Quantam, Zeagle N2ition, and Dive Rite Nitek Duo. Some of these are considerably more than the Cressi even though they are the same computer. The only difference is all the above will fit in a DSS bungy wrist boot, while the Cressis doesn't.

This computer was very easy to use. I did read the book before using but it was actually easier just to scroll through the pages on the computer itself. Very self explanatory. The conservation was just right, only about a min. difference between it and my cave diver friends more expensive computers.
The only thing I found was that you shouldn't try to put your gas settings in too soon after a dive. You need to wait at least 10 min or it resets the gas setting to default and you will end up getting O2 saturated. It does give you a warning when you pass 13ft and allows you to surface and set it if you do forget. I just didn't know what was going on to start with. Very nice computer and cheap too.

I have not used mine already, I am taking it to the water next week, but there are some friends that own the same computer and tell it is prety good
I dove with a Archimedes I and it was good, think Arch II will be better

Good value for money, functional and easy to use. Large screen and visible characters under water. However, it is quite bulky, so it cannot double as a wrist-watch. The scratch-guard is tacky and rattles - I removed it. Does not have the aesthetic appeal of a Suunto Stinger, but it delivers the functionality of more expensive dive computers at a cheaper price.

It uses Bulhmann decompression algorithm. While it gives shorter NDL times than RGBM, it is very close to decompression tables, which allows using it along with runtime on slate.
When I took it to 54 meters with 25 min. exposition, it gave same deco time as my buddy's VR3.

Buttons very easy to operate

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

The battery Died on my 4th dive. The numbers are easy to read but the graphs are difficult to read especially with the lens protector on. A bit complicated to operate so a review of the manual is essential. Had to re-set the time, date, pressure of oxygen, max depth alarms, etc when replacing the battery. Most concerning is the Very Short No Deco times. For example, the computer allows a max NDL of 100 Min at 40' when the PADI Recreational dive planner allows 140 minutes. At 60 feet it allows 45 Min whereas the RDP allows 55 Mins. This is a significant difference. I even changed the PO (pressure of oxygen) to 1.6 and it is still Very conservative. While at a 20 Ft deco stop the depth gauge was fluctuating between 20 - 23 feet without going to 21, 22 feet. Not a big deal, but makes you wonder. I would say if you are a recreational diver that dives 60 feet or less a few times a year and don't care too much about your dive times, this computer would be o.k. for you. I generally dive up to 120 feet and need every minute of dive time making this computer almost useless other than a depth gauge and timer.

It's great wrist computer. It is kind of big for somebody who doesn't like the big size wrist computer. easy to use. Only a thing I don't like is you have to push a button to see temperature of water, but other than that, it is great computer for everyone.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

Great computer at a great price, same computer as Diverite nitec duobut for much less. lets you switch between 2 gases for each dive for deco. up to 50% o2 on dive 1 and up to 99% o2 for 2nd dive. planning mode lets you "dive" before you dive to see what if any deco stops you will have to make etc. All and all a great computer for the price or even much more.

I found this wrist computer easy to use, understand, program and read. It also has eye appeal and is stylish. I am very satisfied with this purchase!

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

This is my second Archamedies II. Since buying my first one, I have also owned Suunto and Oceanic. For a full size multi gas computer nothing else compares both in features and value for money. As good for beginers, got this one for my son who just finished his AOW, as for advanced and technical, I am an SSI AOW Instructor.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

my first dive computer. very satisfied. read the instructions throughly to understand safety factors and such, otherwise you will get locked out when the computer is not set up right and thinks you dove beyond you limits. screen is large and I had no problem reading all information. I would recommend to anyone who is willing to read the instructions first.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

Too big and does not have the same features as Suunto (wireless). For the same money got Mares Nemo after selling this one.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

Really great computer,easy to use.Only one thing-as soon as low battery appears on display-do not dive with it,it will not work.low battery means no battery.Other than that-wonderful

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

Nice and easy to read and understand. The manual is a little complicated. Play with the computer a little before you read the manual, I found that helped a little. It seems that it might be a little conservative even on it's most liberal setting. It has great features and everything I need for an amazing price!

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

This computer is easy to use , light and you can change the battery yourself. I have noticed that its even used by instructors also.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

I bought one for my wife. She liked it so much I bought one for myself. I am very happy with my purchase. It really does everything you need for a basic plus dive computer. I did have a battery explode once in my unit. [...] I've been Trouble free since.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

I had been testing extensively this model for 1.5 years.

I´ve bought two exactly equal units, and tested them in liveaboard in Maldives (25 dives), Mexico,( 15 dives)and Truk Lagoon (12 Dives).

For recreational nothing more you can ask, even for technical diving it did with Safety factor 0 ABSOLUTELY match the output of a Suunto D9 and calculation with Decoplanner.

The feature of changing gas to 100 O2 on mix 2 and recalculate the DECO time is great and works, the algorith is reliable.

In micronesia (truk lagoon) 12 technical dives changing gases and all calculations perfect, equal to suuntos in deco time.

Other than using trimix for any two nitrox combinations and extended range I´d not spend any more bucks.

Also Recommend the download kit

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

I bought this unit because my vision is not what it used to be I own 3 other dive computers and my dive partner has the Archimedes 1. He has had no problems with it. I've been looking over his shoulder to read the saftey stop count down because of the small numbers on mine I couldn't see them.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

I bought this DC last year, used it in almost 30 dives and I'm very pleased.
It's reliable, you can use Nitrox up to 50% and you can change between 2 diferent gases in the same dive (being the second gas nitrox up to 99%) and you can replace the batteries yourself.
The only thing is that I can't hear the alarms very well when I'm using a hood.

Overall IT´S GREAT!!

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

A step up from my first computer. Easy to use but lots to remember to use all its functions. (No books underwater) I took it to the Speigle Grove and it let me know when I had stayed too long and when I could safely surface. I was impressed!

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

Very good price for a reliable, complete and very easy to use product.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

Big enough that my older eyes can read it. I did take off the lense protector - couldn't see the sides of the gauge very well with it on. Great product.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

Great computer, especially for the money. Instruction manual can be rather complicated to understand.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

With several compact full-featured wrist computers on the market, I would spend more $$ to get Mares Nemo, Suunto Stinger, D6, Uwatec or new Cressi E (which I did after trying this model, selling it and getting Nemo).

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

Used for first time over the weekend. Easy to set-up, operate and read. Audible alarm could not be heard under water.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

If you want some decent time on the bottom, don’t go with this computer! I don’t want to end up in the dive chamber anymore than the next guy but I do like to enjoy my dive. I bought it, used it and my bottom time was soooooooo conservative that everyone I was with had at least 10 minutes of BT left!!! If you dive with a group, do them a favor and find out what computers they use and either go with that brand or find one with at least a comparable bottom time. Having four or five minutes difference won’t bother your friends but 8 to 15 minutes will have you looking for new dive buddies.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

Great 2 gas computer that allows you to switch gases mid dive. I have never had a problem with it although the screen did get foggy due to a temperature change on one very hot day between dives.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

very user friendly

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

Nice computer for wonderful price.Lots of functions,easy to use and read.Cannot get any better.Definitely recommended!

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

This has an algorythm that is "middle of the road" to conservative. Gives more bottom time than Suunto, less that Oceanic or Aeris. Has the two gas feature like the most ecoensive computers. Easy to change battery. I can't always hear the beeper, although my kid can. It would rate five little flags with a louder beep.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

My first computer. I think it's great. Very user friendly, its got nice big numbers on the screen so a quick glance tells you what you need to know.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

Easy, great, took alot [...]menial work out of diving

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

Easy to read and nitrox ready. The only thing I didnt like was that the strap is too long

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

I bought this computer for my husband, and ended up using it myself. We had a little trouble converting it from meters to feet. You have to read the manual really closely so that you know the right button combo to push. But it's nice that it stores all the dives so that you can update your log at the end of the day. It takes the guesswork out of filling our your dive log, and I find that I use it to fill out my old-fashioned dive tables to ensure that I've gotten the right surface intervals.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

I thought this computer would be just a simple beginner computer that I would replace in a year or so but, I love this and it's staying around for a long while. It is inexpensive and it does everything I want it to. You don't have to worry about a thing when wearing this watch. The specs are honest, the audible alarms sound on the cautious side, it's easy to use...it's a great computer.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

Works great, could read it in Claytor Lake with low/no visibility, great on night dives, gauges agreed with instructor's, easy to sync with pc.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

I looked at computers for a year, this was the one!

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

It's absolutely brilliant and amazingly inexpensive dive computer with lots of features including 2 nitrox mixtures. I’ve been using it for 1.5years in different conditions. No problems/glitches. As far as I know, this DC has the same electronic part as TUSA IQ-700. Very easy to change battery by yourself, which is standard one and can be bought everywhere. If upper plastic got scratched, you can easily change the upper part which comes in different colors. Highly recommended!!
BTW, I’ve just received another 2pcs for my wife and a friend. :)

just used in cozumel, very user friendly, easy to read. Has alot of funtions for the price.

Comments about Cressi Cressi-Sub Archimede II Wrist Computer:

This Computer is AWSOME. It does every function that is needed for divers. I used this computer in Gennie springs and Devils Den FL. It worked great. It let me know when it was time to turn back, when to stop. It has a planning function that was a BIG help when doing surface intervels in addition to planning my next dive.I wanted a more expensive computer but this one does all that i need and i go on a few diving trips a year. The only downfall this computer has is that it is not a hoseless system. I will reach down and look at my gague before paying an additional $[...] bucks..
