You won’t find any color LED display here, or air integration, or four-gas switching. So what do you get with the Leonardo? As it turns out, exactly what it promises: a simple design aimed at new divers “or those who just want to dive.” Read why the Cressi Leonardo is our Best Buy in this category.
It doesn’t have the longest list of goodies — there’s no air integration or compass — but what it does, it does very well. The dive-mode display is well thought out and easy to see and understand, with data for depth, NDL, dive time and temperature, along with a tissue-loading bar graph and ascent-rate indicator. Learn why the Mares Smart was the ScubaLab 2014 Best Buy for Dive Computers.
Test divers found a lot to like about the OCI — from its data display and presentation to its backlight — and several considered it perhaps the most stylish of the wristwatches. Read why the Oceanic OCI is our Testers’ Choice in it's category.
