ScubaLab 2012 Gear of the Year: Mares Matrix Computer

When it came time to pick a Testers’ Choice in the wristwatch- style category, there was no argument. The sharp-looking Matrix is easy to read, easy to program, and it’s full of advanced computing features. In addition to an intuitive menu system, screen readability is excellent due to the reverse color band highlighting no deco data. It also has a very usable tissue-loading bar graph, a cool graphic dive-profile screen, and the bar-none best compass in its category. MSRP $700 INFO mares.com
