I recently purchased the Atom 3.1 Dive Computer and have used it as a watch during the work week as well as have taken it on a couple of dives. The integrated air transmitter works great, I had no problems getting things connected and viewing the air pressure on my computer. You have to spend some time going over the online class that is included with the purchase to understand the features and how to configure the dive computer and I was able to figure things out after going over the online course. The application that the dive computer comes with has an older looking graphical user interface but works well. I did not have issues getting my dive computer to sync and send my dive information to the application. I recommend this computer because of its features, the air integration and the price. I am very happy with my purchase.

Dive computer is not intuitive at all. Takes minutes to change setting that should take seconds to preform. If you have a Mac, software that comes with the unit does not work. I nice little app, from the Web I recommend is called MacDive. The program works and graphics are better than the manufactures software. Should have gotten a Mares Matrix, since I like their dive graph feature.

Usage: - Fastest way to use this DC is to use the quick reference guide and consult the manual only if you need more details. - Pressing S (Select) for 2sec to start modifying of any parameters does not work. It has to be Light button followed by the Select button. - The Oceanlog 2.x software that comes with the DC has bugs. It will not allow changes to many of the data entries. - The newer Oceanlog software downloaded from Oceanic website also has problem. The Utility Set-up will not sync properly and will skew the set-up. - I ended up using the supplied CD Oceanlog program just for doing set-up and bought Diving Log 5.0 to dive logs. Plus: - Transmitter link is quite reliable. - Display format is intuitive. Deltas: - Did 8 dives over the weekend and scratched the face badly during a couple of shore dives. Hope Oceanic will supply a good protector for the DC. Anyway, maybe I will just pocket the DC during shore dives. - Buddy and I each own one. Our temperature readings differs quite a bit, 22C vs 25C. Other than the above, I like this DC and will continue using it. I will recommend it but users better be prepared to work around the problems and solutions mentioned above.

Did 8 dives over the weekend with this watch and I absolutely love it. This is my first air integrated watch and it worked without a hitch. Never lost my signal underwater. Knowing how much air I had remaining with a estimated air made me really think about my breathing and extended my dive. The included dive log software is pretty poor. It's very basic and ugly. They really should develop something more polished especially since these computers are so expensive. Luckily there are other software alternatives out there. However, I still think the computer itself is great and well worth the investment. 5 Flags!

Dive watch is great! Love the Air Time Remaining feature. Menus are relatively easy to navigate and pretty intuitive. It was nice having the transmitter so you are looking at your wrist instead of your SPG.

Delivery was excellent. Emailed a question after the delivery but never got an answer after a week of waiting, so a big fail there.

This watch is my first dive computer and I love it... It was also very easy to learn how to use it. I broke the metal closure piece, called Oceanic and they sent out all new replacement bands in the mail in about a day. Couldn't be happier about that. The only downside is that it does lose signal every once and awhile but quickly reconnects.

First it's a bit complicated at the start, but once you play around with and get a few dives with it, its starts to become easy. Also if u do get a hoseless air integrated, recommend just to get a backup air gauge something you can tuck away and forget back which is just in case something happens, like hitting the top of a cave and you snap/break the transmitter on your 1st stage. I was also looking at the OC1 and the atom, and besides the cost there is no difference, except the electronic compass(which are unreliable) and titanium housing. Save the money!

I purchased the Atom 3.0 complete with transmitter before my dive trip in September. I have been skeptical about the wireless dive computers, but decided to give it a try. I have to say it performed great. I had no issues with keeping a connection between the tank transmitter and the watch. I tend to keep my arms crossed when I am diving and I was able to keep a connection in this position throughout all of my dives. The only time I lost a connection was when I had to adjust my fin strap and when we were trying to get a lion fish. Within a 1-2 seconds of returning my arm back to the normal position in front of my chest, the signal would pick right back up. The features of the watch are great. I love being able to see my air time remaining. Very nice feature. When you first hook up your 1st stage to the tank and turn on the air, all you have to do is just hold down top left mode button for a second and it switches to dive mode and shows you the air pressure. My only complaint is the Oceanic software to download your dives. It definitely needs some refinement. Although once you download the data, you can export it and view it in Excel or any other data application. I found it really neat to see all of the details of the dive. Prior to this computer I had used an Oceanic Geo for 3 years. I found the new Atom to function pretty much the same with the added step back feature that allows you to go forward and backward through menus. Overall I found it pretty simple to use, but I am a pretty technical person. I can understand how some people may find it complicated to use. It is a very feature rich device. Overall I love the device. I would definitely recommend it to others. So far I have only used it on a week long dive trip, so I'll be anxious to see how the reliability is over time.
