SUUNTOZoop Novo Wrist Scuba Diving Computer

I am over 50 and wear prescription lenses...except when diving. The display was clear and easy to read when submerged. You really don't have to do anything except jump in water and scuba (unless you are using mixed gases). I haven't used nitrox with this dive computer yet, but I am sure it will be pretty straightforward. Very happy with this purchase.

this watch is definitely for the “amateur” diver .. but it can be use as a regular watch & it’s an “EYE CATCHER” .. it’s simple & non-complicated to operate .. YouTube has lots of instructional videos .. the accessories are fun to use .. if the strap is to long, a watch expert will adjust accordingly to wrist size .. black & lime are the best colors .. 5-stars!

This computer does everything I need. I've used it on a dozen or so dives in the last 4 months, max depth 99'. You can read up before you use it or just hit the water. It activates itself at about 2' and guides you from there. Beeps at you if you are ascending too quickly. Beeps at you if you are about to pass no decomp bottom time. If you do, it builds in your stops. It held me at 15' for some extra minutes on a dive where I went over. I feel very comfortable with this computer. I've been diving over 40 years and finally got a computer and I like it a lot. I bought the cord to connect it to a PC but it didn't fit. I want to get one so I can keep a landside record as well as on the dive computer. I sent the cord back and contacted the seller. Here's what they said in reply:Certainly, we have them fulfilled by Amazon if you search this asin B007P4FML6It is confusing because you probably got the old zoop cable. The new zoop novo takes the one like the watches. They call it the d series.

Had a Suunto Vyper for 10 years.So I purchased a Zoop. Would give a five star review, however...Instructions state you must register your computer.Go to website, there isn't any link to register your product!Went to chat, told you no longer need to register your computer!Why not post this new info on the Suunto Home page! This isn't difficult, and you stop misleading customers!

In my opinion, it competes with Leonardo Cressi in terms of cost-benefit. The Zoop Suunto has a better display and backlight and more menu navigation buttons (which might make it a little more expensive than the Leonardo?). Zoop has the look and feel of a pro gear.

I'm a recreational diver, average 12 - 15 dives a year. I've owned and used Oceanic, Cressi Leonardo, Cressi Gratto, but I prefer the style and usability of this Suunto dive watch over all the others I've used. I've also noticed that most of the dive masters I dive with use Suunto products. The Zoop Novo offers all the features I really need. Next level up is the Vyper Novo which offers a digital compass and the ability to pre-program multiple gas mixtures. I do dive with Nitrox, but typically use single mixture and it's easy enough to update mixture on Zoop Novo if a do switch, I don't "need" the ability to pre-program different mixes. I always prefer a separate analog compass over a digital compass, much easier to use and eliminates the need to switch between programs while I'm diving. I'd rather focus on the dive than trying to switch between functions on my computer.

Living in Ohio I've had a chance to use it yet. But playing with it it seems to be a very easy to use.

The Zoop is easy to read while in the water. For beginning open water divers, just strap it on and take that giant stride. Starts automatically and keeps track of your dive. A couple of things to note; You need to study the manual to be able to understand what you are seeing on the display, especially for safety stops. Some of the features will take some practice, i.e. reading your dive log. The strap will be too long; I cut mine slightly. The protective plastic faceplate can be scratched pretty easily. Bottom line, Eleven dives in, no problems.
