D6I Novo Diving Watch Black with USB

Improved wristband should increase the usefulness of this product.

I’ve bean diving for 15+ years and this was my first dive “watch”. My husband bought me a used one for a “bargain” as a surprise because my SmartTack computer was on the fritz. After sinking $600.00 into it to get the glass and housing fixed (it had a bad gash in both) and getting a new cloth band (because I’m a girl and my wrists are too small for a clunky plastic band) it was not easy to use. So far the only dive this watch has worked on has been my checkout dive after service. I’m constantly pouring over the manual between dives to try to figure out what it’s trying to tell me. While on dives I get hash marks instead of max depth and time at depth readings. It’s a real pain in the butt and now I’m looking for anybody who will take it off my hands. I’ll take the loss. I just want something safe and easy. I gave this one star because when I sunk the $600.00 into fixing it the service was ok.

For the diving features and performance there is no complain - complete, reliable and very comfortable. But, the connectivity to the computer using usb cable, the software (DM5) and its synchronization with Suunto Movescount is way behind other smart watches in the market. I had this suunto for Diving and a Garmin for general fitness and garmin user experience is much better. The battery is also a concern, after 94 dives in 3 yearsI had the battery replaced. A rechargeable watch would be much better.

Great computer, small size fits day to day life. Advanced features suits tech divers as well.
