Suunto D3

Anyone got one?

If so, when in gauge mode does the count down timer show seconds?

In general are you happy with it?

TIA

Yes. The resettable (count up) timer (ie the big one) counts mins & secs. You can use it to time leg of a dive, time at a stop etc. There is an other total dive time minute couter in (I think) the left hand bottom corner as well. What did you expect it would be counting down to, your birthday?

Yes. Well, I was until the time of day started reseting itself to 6pm every few days. Now I'm suspicious of it.

Think of the gauge mode of a Stinger in the body of a Mosquito, if that helps.

Apart from the above mentioned problem the only things I don't like about it relate to the cheapo body - the plastic face scratches easily & fine sand can get in the workings of the buttons on beach dives.

I've focused on the -ves but in general I think they're great if the depth limit isn't a concern for you.
