Partner, Wrist-Mount Freediving Computer, Black, one Size

Let me start by saying that I bought this *free* diving watch to use for *scuba* diving. Not its intended purpose. If you are a free diver looking for a useful review, this isn't it. For scuba divers...I have an air integrated dive computer that has a bright, large digital readout. It does everything I need. However, it is large and I wear it on my forearm or on a retractor attached to my BCD. What I wanted was a wristwatch to quickly check the current depth and dive time, but not necessarily a backup computer. I also wanted to have a larger display to accommodate my older eyes. The Seac Partner is an affordable model and perfect for my needs. It is easy to use and easy to read. The display is LCD, which is not as bright as TFT, but much cheaper than those alternatives. The readout displays the information I want. I turned off all the alarm settings as I rely on my dive computer for those. Easy to do.I wouldn't say there are disadvantages to this device, if you want to use it the way I do. There are a couple of things to look out for. Since this is a free diving watch, the limits are assumed for maximum depth and dive duration. The factory settings for those maxima are 40 feet and 1:20, respectively. Note especially the latter limit. That is one minute, twenty seconds, rather than one hour, twenty minutes. Of course it is! Even though I had turned off all the alarms, these two still emitted an audible beep. Starting 80 seconds into my dives, I was one of those divers whose computer beeped constantly. It annoyed and embarrassed me for several dives before I figured it out. Bottom line, pay attention the scale and units of the maxima when you set it up.Also, some reviews will say that the Partner does not automatically start to measure when you enter the water. That is partially true. You must manually switch to dive mode before entering the water. Once you descend a few feet, it automatically begins measuring depth and dive time. It also automatically detects the end of a dive and switches to measuring surface interval. For multiple dives, I learned to put it in dive mode as I was suiting up the first time and just leave it in dive mode until I was finished diving for the day. At that point, I switched it back to time mode, where it displays the current date and time like a regular watch. Once again, easy and perfect for my needs.Overall, nice watch and affordable for my purposes. A very good buy.

I like this computer because of its functions and price. Besides it is excellent for people starting the freediving sport.

Did not work properly, might be a malfunction with this specific watch.The concept is great, but not practical based on what it claimed to do.

I bought this watch, the instructions are useless. I set any of the settings and now I'm out over $100.00 because I can't send it back.

Anybody who is doing free diving in the ocean should definitely on this watch. Best thing ever!

Just like other reviews said, this particular model has some design flaw. Worked great for my first dive trip but at the end of the day, it got completely stuck in dive mode. All buttons no longer work. SEAC is normally a great brand but this particular watch needs serious QC and testing. The watch itself, when working, is great with many many features that are more than you ever need. Accurate depth readings and all, but all that went to trash when it can't seem to be watertight. Thanks Amazon for quick refund.

Cómo instructora de apnea debo facilitar al alumno un profundimetro para q ellos mismos puedan ver cuánto tiempo permanecieron y a q profundidad. Este reloj me vino perfecto los dos q compramos, claro lo uso solo para el mar, más no como diario. Actualizaré en un tiempo la reseña si me llegase a dar problema, con que me dure un año ya se pagó.

Llena las espectativas

Me gusto, se ve muy bien. Tiene varios parámetros. Todavía no lo he usado pero apenas lo utilice voy a actualizar la review

Everything was perfect, but they died during the second swimming.Just lost the plastic button cover on the surface.To defend the seller - accepted return without questions.Resume: very good functionality for beginners. But reliability must be better.

I ordered 3 watches, one came with an empty battery, and one other has flooded after only one dive at 35 feet!
