ScubaLab 2012 Gear of the Year: Oceanic OCS Computer

Earning a second-place spot on our test divers’ favorites list for its category, the wristwatch-style OCS is targeted to divers who don’t want air integration but do want an onboard compass. Loaded with electronic goodies, it includes Oceanic’s dual-algorithm feature, which offers a choice of two data-crunching models. The menu system cuts a clear path through various modes and setups, usually without the need to reference the owner’s manual, which is first rate. MSRP $699.95 INFO oceanicworldwide.com
