Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Atom 2.0 Air Integrated Hoseless Dive Watch (Complete System):
The product proved to be easy to use- got it one day before leaving for a trip- brought my original computer along just in case-no regrets- just wish the manual was a little more user friendly - almost impossible to follow-
Performed perfectly
For the money there is no better
Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Atom 2.0 Air Integrated Hoseless Dive Watch (Complete System):
This was a slowly building love affair. I am a newish diver and found all of the functionality initially overwhelming. Then as each new function sank into my thick brain, I began to really appreciate the functionality and started to wonder "so how did I do with out this?".
From checking my buddies info on my wrist, to the download of dive information to the computer. My buddy and I loved analysing the dive after with all of the information the computer collected.
I like the small form factor. There is a ton of information that is there at a glance and more can be pulled up with a button click.
Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Atom 2.0 Air Integrated Hoseless Dive Watch (Complete System):
Solid computer. I like it a lot!
Strobes interfered with the link and transmitter signal was lost for several seconds. This is described in the manual, so I'm totally OK with that.
Two things that I wish were different are:
1. The audible alarm is not loud enough. When I was wearing a hood, I could see the blinking numbers, but still couldn't hear the alarm.
2. Ascent rate alarm goes off when I'm already ascending too fast (no gradual ascent indicator with alarm at the end, like in my old Aeris Atmos 2).
The manual is a nightmare, but once you go through the pain once, it's all good after that.

I have had two Atom 2's and the first failed with a flooded watch face 75 deep into a cave, The second watch/transmitter set failed in the same cave 7 months later with the transmitter failing. The 64 dives in between were fine but I will use a hosed guage for a save a dive kit.

This is a great computer. it is awesome. small and compact yet has everything you need.
the manual is not the easiest, but then again, with all the features, it takes a bit to learn them all. but once you learn it, it is simple to operate and it is great.

I did 60 dives over this year. I dove deep to 60 M and shallow reef diving 15 M. The computer was a great. I would recommend this computer to anyone who is looking for a powerful dive computer in a watch size package.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Atom 2.0 Air Integrated Hoseless Dive Watch (Complete System):
There isn't a lot that can be said about the Oceanic transmitter. It works as designed; and the four that I have are all reliable and easy to service. The use of these transmitters is more a function of your computer, but can be used to monitor multiple tanks or your buddy (assuming you pay attention to your dive buddy). The only downside is that the signal range is not great, which occasionally causes the link between the transmitter and computer to be broken. You also have to be close to your buddy to monitor their pressure.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Atom 2.0 Air Integrated Hoseless Dive Watch (Complete System):
This computer enables a very sleek dive kit. Wireless transmitter for computer plus an integrated Air 2 makes for only one hose off coming around your side: your primary regulator. Very nice!
This computer has all the features you need for recreational diving. No deco limits, depth, air time, nitrox, deco stops, time into dive, etc. As well, there is a good log and a planner that works pretty well. Overall, a very good dive watch if small is want you want at a good price.
If you want to see everything you need on one screen, buy a computer with a bigger screen. Most guides I see use a larger wrist mount Sunto or Uwatec. There is a reason.
As a watch, it works but is a little clunky to use. While small, it is still quite big to use as an everyday watch. I bought this watch because a store worker said he likes it because he only takes one watch on a trip: the Atom 2.0. He uses it as his alarm and everything. This guy must be a geek. One non-diving friend saw my dive watch on my wrist and said, “Man, you got a sun dial on wrist there Benny.” I found myself wearing my normal watch during the day.
The dive log uploads quite easily to the software. The SW itself is a little clunky too, but it works well enough. The watch will store up to 20 dives. HOWEVER, a word of warning. The watch stores detailed info on the dive profile (depth, temp,etc.). But if you set the refresh rate too high, your watch can log every few seconds, but will only store about 4 dives in detail (summary results are kept, but not the profile). I lost a few dive profiles due to this little unwarned "feature."
The manual SUCKS pond water. Not for lack of information. It is too much information. Remember the old Microsoft jokes about its help feature giving technically accurate but functionally useless information? Same thing here. A 10-20 page quick start manual would be priceless.
Another warning, add “checking your watch dive mode” to your pre-dive checklist right before entering the water. Once you pass 5 feet, the watch (as do most computers) locks the dive mode for 24 hours. With this computer, it is quite easy to get in the wrong mode due to button assignments. Once I got locked into free mode on a night dive with no way to change it. It sucks to dive blind to your tank pressure, especially at night.

I've used the Atom 2.0 for the last 2 months. Nice computer with a ton of features. The manual is long and very boring. Overall the system is expensive but worth the money
Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Atom 2.0 Air Integrated Hoseless Dive Watch (Complete System):
I really enjoy this computer, it's small, light weight, and it has great functions. I use it to keep track of my Son and Father-In-Law's Air. Unfortunately it has taken a lot of trial and error and re-reading the book to learn how to use it.

OCEANIC HAS THE BEST CACULATIONS ON THE MARKET, IT GIVE U THE MOST BOTTOM TIME OUT OF ALL THE COMPUTERS MADE. I HAVE OWNED MANY DIFFERENT PDC'S AND ALWAYS RELY ON MY OCEANIC PDC'S FOR THE BEST READING. I HAVE OWNED A FEW SUUNTOS, COMPAIRED TO OCEANIC, ITS A CHILDS TOY.

Comments about Oceanic Oceanic Atom 2.0 Air Integrated Hoseless Dive Watch (Complete System):
I did 12 dives over my vacation in February. I dove deep to 160 ft and shallow reef diving 30 ft. The computer was a great. It gave me all the info I needed at a glace and wasn't bulky at all. I wore it to work and showed off all my dive profiles to my co-workers. I would recommend this computer to anyone who is looking for a powerful dive computer in a watch size package. Two thumbs up.
