Purchased this dive watch just before the pandemic and just got the chance to use it. Did 12 dives with it and was very impressed. It has every option you could want for a technical dive watch, but is very easy to use for a recreational diver. The menus are extremely easy to navigate. The display is bright and clear. For full disclosure, if you are out of the water and in extremely bright conditions, the display does not appear bright but can be read. An important consideration for me in choosing this watch was the fact that it is rechargeable. The wireless charging station works very well. The watch has good battery life while in use. I would do 2 40-minute dives a day, and starting with a full charge, I would be at between 75 and 80% charge after 2 days of diving with the display at full brightness and wirelessly downloading the dive data. This was without the wireless pressure gauge recording tank pressure. I don't know how that affects battery life. The watch and wrist strap are rugged and well made. While I chose this watch because it was rechargeable and seemed to have the best brightness among the contenders, its capabilities have really impressed me. Overall, this is the best dive watch/console I've used and would highly recommend it.

The Teric is our third dive computer. It is a game-changer. I was using an Oceanic Atom 3.0 -- nothing wrong with it all, and my wife was using a Oceanic VT 4.0, both AI. However, my wife was having difficulty reading the numerals as she uses reading glasses. Enter the Teric. She saw a fellow diver's on a live aboard, looked at it underwater and could clearly see the numbers on the display, the colors of which can be changed to many other colors. So I bought one for her. Then when I saw it, I had to buy one for myself too, so I wouldn't have equipment envy for our month long trip to the Red Sea. Having used it for a week of diving -- about 33 dives so far, I can safely say that this is a game-changer.

First, the display is fantastic, with a "big" display which shows three rows of info, or "standard," which shows four rows, two of which are customizable with different info. She could easily read her computer underwater, and she changed the different information from standard white to purple, green and yellow. the brightness can be adjusted to high, medium, low or off. Night dives, low or medium was great. Day dives, I found medium was great, although she liked high. AI was a snap and it paired with my Oceanic transmitter with no problem. The watch face is also customizable with different displays and colors.

Second, the menu settings are a snap to set. Tired about digging through all sorts of obscure settings to change your gases from air to nitrox? No more. The menu settings are intuitive, and you just scroll to gases, where you can program up to five different gases and with between them. Piece of cake. I set one on nitrox 32% and one on air at 21%, and it is a snap to switch between them. I also love the fact that it is easy to change what is displayed on the home screen and in what colors, although it is simple to scroll underwater between the five screens and get as much info as you could ever want underwater. I also turned off the beeping alarm and just use the vibrate, which was nice and strong, especially for the safety stop. Nice feature is that it clearly displays "safety stop" in green and if you drift lower than about 23 ft., it pauses and then resumes when you ascend a little. I also like how it displays "safety cleared" in blue when finished -- just cool little features. I also like that it displays ascent rate numerically and in arrows, which change to yellow and red if you are ascending too fast. Again, a nice little touch. I customized the standard display to show the time remaining underwater, which I use to additionally monitor my air consumption, although you can also display air consumption as PSI per minute as well. You can monitor both your and your buddy's air as well as it will track two transmitters at once. There are many other features for the rebreather and tech diving set, but I don't need those. One chard lasts about two-three days of 4-5 dives a day -- about four or five hours of diving and surface time. It comes with a wireless charging cradle which can give a full charge in 1.5 hours on "Quick Charge" and 4 hours or so on regular charge. There are many other features to this fantastic dive watch, but those are the key ones that I have used to date. Note that according to shearwater, it already has a scratch guard installed. In fact, the only thing that I did not absolutely love about this with was that it displays "TTS". which is "time to surface," which to me is a completely worthless statistic, but cannot be moved from the home screen. Minor.

The Shearwater comes with its own dive log software which pairs over bluetooth with the dive computer and downloads the info to your laptop or phone. It has a few bugs that could be better, but you can simply and wirelessly get all of your dive information, take notes on the dive, problems that you had, etc. You can also export those files to Diverlog, but I haven't tried that yet.

All told, it is a pricey computer, but color display, menu, ease of use . . . Let's face it. Your dive computer is the most important part of your gear, and the Teric is the most amazing and well thought out dive computer that I have seen. I highly recommend it. I haven't dropped mine, so I can't opine on it's durability, but after 30 dives with it, both of us are in love with our new Terics!

For over the last year, I have been diving with a Shearwater Perdix AI as my primary computer. Love it, love it, love it. Especially as my close vision has been worsening with age. But, I agree with and believe the warning in the manual - your computer will fail, not a matter of if, just when, which really underscores the need for a secondary computer.

Also, I often need a watch when I'm on dive trips, and well, the Perdix, though a great computer, just lacks the form factor for daily wear. Enter the Teric. I had read the reviews, but honestly, I was a little dubious. In the end, I am more convinced that Shearwater makes really great products.

The Teric is a wristwatch sized dive computer that can be worn daily without looking totally looking like a dive computer. It isn't small, but about the size of a men's watch. For those that know the Garmin Fenix, the sizes approximate. Menus are intuitive and switching between watch mode and dive mode are pretty easy (in fact, they were at times reminiscent of navigation with the Garmin Fenix). The screen is crisp and clear, and surprisingly, while smaller than the Perdix text, I had no problems reading the display underwater. The diving models used are the same as the Perdix, as well. I also liked the new audio and haptic alerts on the Teric.

Incidentally, no product is ever perfect. I found adding EANx percentages a bit of a pain, but not so annoying to stop using the watch. Once programmed, this isn't so much of an issue. Haptic and audio alerts could be a little stronger. I could see anyone wearing more than a 5 mm suit likely having issues feeling vibration. Would love audio alerts to be more unique because nothing is more annoying than hearing a beep and trying to figure out if it's your computer or someone else. Charging works really well most of the time, but there are times when I seat the watch in the charger and nothing happens. This just means I have to be a little more mindful about putting the computer in the charger. Love quick charging, though. As for case durability, the watch casing seems fine, but it'll take some time to determine band durability.

I bought this computer for our live aboard trip to Galapagos and it worked perfectly through our quite demanding dives.

Pros:
+ Probably the most obvious feature of this computer is a very intuitive design of its interface: no need to look into the manual, very easy switch among dive, watch, log, bluetooth and other modes.
+ Very easy programming of gases and dive modes.
+ Easy and reliable integration with the tank pressure transmitter (AI).
+ Bright colors and easy reading of all info even in low light.
+ Detailed, informative and well organized logs.
+ Nice aesthetic design.

Cons:
- only one: quite heavy, which can be explained by its range of usability up to 200 m.

I am not doing tech diving and couldn't evaluate its tech diving features.

13 dives and no issues so far. Excellent battery life! I didn't charge it for the entire week of my last dive trip with multiple dives per day and there was plenty of battery life remaining. You can view dive logs on the watch or transmit them to the iphone via Shearwater app and Bluetooth. I have ordered the air integration transmitter separately, but have yet to use it. No GPS which is a little irritating - meaning dive locations have to be manually entered. The watch will automatically alert you for your safety stop with a 5 minute countdown at 15 feet. The bright LCD display is clearly visible under water with different brightness settings for your liking. The watch includes sensors for water temperature - automatically stored in your dive log.
