Great review, as a diver I was surprised that decreasing the pressure so fast did not triggered any alarm, any dive computer will indicate if you are ascending too fast to prevent decompression sicknesses . The idea of trying it out in Vinkeveen is interesting but not so for filming as it can get pretty dark there after few meters. As regards the 40 meters limit, it is more than acceptable for the great majority of divers if you consider than an open water diver is allowed to dive up to 18 meters. It in an interesting gadget but I would not ditch my dive computer for an Apple Watch, not even as a back up, at least for now. Still, thanks so much for the review.

Great video and very nice test of a product I'm quite interested buying. As a (currently inactive) dive instructor the behaviour of the watch below 40M worries me, it's unlike any other dive instrument I've ever used and thus may cause confusion or panic should a diver not anticipate it. I understand there are disclaimers and warnings not to exceed this depth however if a recreational diver finds them-self below 40M they may be in a duress situation with layers of problems building, such as narcosis, cold, low air, etc and for the instrument they may be relying on to stop providing depth information could make the situation worse. It doesn’t matter that they should have another depth gauge with them, if panic has started to set in, together with some narcosis, it's quite possible they won't think to look for it.

Is the Apple Watch calibrated for sea water or fresh water?

I would be interested if it can play the role of a dive computer and assist with surfacing to avoid the bends.

So you've got all this tec but don't have a phone to call the diving center and ask if they are open?
@Dcrainmaker2 жыл бұрын
Hahaha...I can tell you've never tried calling them, as, you'd know they never answer the phone (I tried repeatedly over multiple days). One only need to look at their Google Reviews page to see that as well.

Why? More than half the viewers are from the US. Futher, I narrated in both meters and feet.

To solve your Tablet software compatibility issues, you could use some sort of virtual machine on your laptop: VMware, Parallels, what so ever. It‘s even possible to merge the whole OS to the VM.

Good stuff. The review I’ve been looking for on the dive depth capability. Thank you

Possible software solution... VirtualBox with last compatible windows version? Easy to migrate to different hardware when hardware fails.

You’ve made me want this watch because it looks very cool with that yellow band, and that dive app is great.

11:49 Why don't you just create a VM of the tablet? Also, I'm sure you could probably come up with a power injector for the tablet, where you could still give it power, but allow data to pass through.

It's not JUST about pressure, it's about movement as well. I (stupidly) took my new iPhone and wanted to take some video of spawning salmon. However, back then, phones were "water resistant" and running water, GREATLY increases the risk of water ingress. Same thing with diving. The movement of your hands through the water increases risk. That's why although a watch it rates for 100m, it's not DESIGNED to be taken to 100m. It's the same EPA fuel economy ratings. They're rated for OPTIMAL conditions.
