Suunto D6i Dive Computer Steel Strap with USB, All Black

Fantastic, compact dive computer. Multiple gas/tank functions are easy to use. The only problem I have with it is the the brushed stainless steel scratches easily when put under the generally harsh conditions I dive in, but it’s all cosmetic so who cares! I love the computer for what it is

I'm a dive professional and have been using Suunto dive computers for 10 years, not just because we sell them at the dive shop, but because of their reputation for quality and function. I've recommended this brand (D6i particularly) to hundreds of customers over the years. My latest was a D6i with which I logged the most dives. I've sent this watch in after 2 years for the recommended service that Suunto offers, and has had batteries put in at Suunto authorized service centers. I was very fond of this product, both as an every day watch and functionality as a dive computer. At around 600 dives I sent it in for a battery replacement and was told that it was corroded on the inside. Suunto couldn't repair it, and I was told to pay hundreds to have it replaced. I'm very disappointed that such a high quality product would be susceptible to corrosion when only being serviced by Suunto and not even be covered, and having to pay a significant sum to get it replaced. The functionality of this watch was great during the 4 years I've had it, but didn't meet my expectations of a Suunto product.

I'm from the US but dive professionally in Honduras. Delivery only took 20 days but right out of the box, it had a completely dead battery. Took it to a local dive shop to replace and they had problems with the back screws so it wouldn't seal properly. I'm still waiting to receive replacement screws so I haven't been able to dive with it. Recently, I noticed the back was starting to pit really bad for no reason - like acid or something had been dumped on it. Leisure Pro said there's nothing they can do about it so I'll try to contact Suunto but not holding my breath. I won't waste the money again in the future! Very frustrating for such an expensive dive computer.

The Dc is difficult to set; buttons are small, readout is very small, "No Decompression" limit does not stand out. Visual and Audible warning are barely noticeable. I used it on an identical profile with a competitors DC and the competitors DC kept diving while I was lock out. I did the tables and couldn't understand why. I don't recommend it for multiple dives especially going Air to Nitrox or vise versa. The compass wants to calibrate every time you switch to it and it is nearly impossible to use the compass underwater. the back light is timed ( no permanent on setting) so it keeps going off and you have to reset it, really frustrating on a dive. If you are a fit, active diver this DC is too conservative and unnecessarily complex.

I have to say, I wound up returning this product. Not because it was not a great product, but rather, the price, even on sale, was more for all the parts necessary to actually use it than if you purchase the packaged product. If you need a replacement, and have the integrated air transmitter and interface cable, this is just what you're looking for. If you don't have the rest of the pieces, I suggest going with the packaged product that contains everything you need. jc

I am writing this review in response to the previous one. I love this computer. Mine was delivered with all the documentation and a cable, so all I needed to do was download the software from Suunto's website. It's very easy to use and when you use it with the optional transmitter it is even more useful. I loved this computer so much I bought one for my partner as a gift, and his came its a cable too.

Despite the previous comments, this computer does not come with a cable or cd for the instruction manual. Even on sale, the cost to purchase the computer, sender and cable is more expensive than the packaged kit. And apparently, that information is not known by the online help, because I was misled on this purchase. I wound up returning the watch and sender because customer service would not make good on what I was sold. Everyone blamed it on someone else, and I was left with no choice. If you need a replacement computer, this will do it. But, it is only the computer and it doesn't make much sense to sell it this way, in my opinion. Even the Suunto web site says that the computer only has documentation and a sync cable. This computer is basically useless without the ability to download your dives which requires a cable. I don't get it. Leisure Pro let me down on this one.
