Sub Gear XP10

This post is added in response to a question I received about a great entry level wrist computer.

My recommendation would be the Sub Gear XP10. First a little background, Scubapro bought out a company called Seemann which was based in Europe. Seemann wasn’t the best name to carry over here to the states, for obvious reason, so they changed it to Sub Gear and voila we now have a new company to buy products from. Scubapro’s decision to keep it a separate name / company allows for it to be used as a testing ground of sorts. Scubapro can introduce new products at a price range they normally do not compete in without fear of it affecting there long tradition as a high quality dive manufacturer. Ok back to the XP10, basically Scubapro dropped the Scubapro Prime computer down to the Sub Gear line and changed the name to the XP10 and also drastically dropped the price. This computer retails for right around $250.00 and does just about everything most divers would ever need. The software used is the same used buy the Scubapro/Uwatec Tec 2G. It’s very easy to use and most people in my experience can learn the entire computer In the matter of a few minutes. I was very impressed with the value of this computer. Anyone looking for a first computer owes it to themselves to check out the
