Suunto "Gekko" Air/Nitrox Wrist Computer, White

SKU: SQTGKW


Bill me later


DESCRIPTION
A NEW VERSATILE COMPUTER FROM SUUNTO
The Suunto Gekko is an ideal choice for sports divers who do not require a PC interface or simulation features. It can be used with both air and Nitrox and is designed to give the specifics of any diving situation, including decompression, at a glance. Both ascent rate and available no-decompression time are displayed graphically with clear, color-coded indicators. Visual and audible alarms are given when necessary. Maximum depth and dive time alarms can be enabled. The Gekko uses the Suunto RGBM decompression model and has a user-replaceable battery and user-adjustable metric/imperial units.

EASY TO OPERATE AND EXCELLENT VALUE
Easy to use buttons and a straightforward menu structure make Gekko simple to operate. The extensive logbook memory stores up to 50 hours of dive profiles and logbook data, including dive start time and date, dive time, maximum depth attained, and temperature at maximum depth. In addition, the dive history keeps track of up to 999 dives and 999 dive hours, as well as the maximum depth ever reached.

PHOSPHORESCENT LCD DISPLAY
Gekko is equipped with a super bright phosphorescent display, which can be charged with a dive torch, providing long lasting illumination of the display in dark conditions.

The Gekko can be worn as a wrist unit, or mounted in Suunto's Combo consoles.

Its a great dive computer. Its very easy to read and the menus are laid out for simple operation. It can be connected to your Mac despite what the description says. All you need is a SmartInterface cable and MacDive. I have have all my dives downloaded.

Im very happy with my Gekko!

Trying to use the buttons without a pen or pencil to push on them with is a pain. The protective cover is in the way and you can only get the edge of a finger on the button which means you have to press very hard. They should move the buttons to the side. I have used it for 12 dives now and am not happy with it at all. I will be trading it in for a different computer the next time I go to my dive shop. I am 5' 6" tall and have small hands and it is just a bad design.

    Comments about Aqualung Suunto "Gekko" Air/Nitrox Wrist Computer, White:

    I narrowed my search down to the Mares Nemo Wide and the Gekko. I think that I made the right decision. This computer is less expensive and has all the functions of the Nemo Wide that your typical diver would require. I think that I saw a Nemo Wide on a diver last week in the D.R. and it looked huge on her wrist!
    I just wish that this had a compass built in.

    Comments about Aqualung Suunto "Gekko" Air/Nitrox Wrist Computer, White:

    I live on the Riviera Maya (Yucatan Caribe). Most in our regular diving party (7 of 12 people)owns the Gekko. It is reliable, relatively simple, durable, and basic. It is without a doubt the best value for the buck!
