Got my wife a Tern TX a week ago. This thing is a monster. If i didn't had Teric already, i would buy one for myself. I don't do tech. And i like a smaller size.

Q: During the video you mentioned that the transmitter also fits in the case with the watch. Is this because you are wrapping the watch around the transmitter (vs. the supplied foam) when you store it back in the case?
@LeviathanScuba

Yeah, basically only bringing the necessary parts n pieces. I never travel with the transmitters on the regs but without the extra strap the trans fits with the computer. If I decide to use the Tern as my everyday, I actually will travel with it on my wrist as a watch. Small enough and looks fine. Thanks for participating. Freddy

How does the interaction between different transmitters work? If I am using my buddies transmitter would that mean they can't connect it to their own computer as if that is the case it seems very complex and only a slight benefit. Also what is the cheapest that is available to work if I need a second to check my buddies air.
@LeviathanScuba
Ай бұрын
The transmitters work on a specific frequency. So you input the 6 digit code into your dive computer. If another person wanted to track your transmitter and your remaining air supply, they would enter your transmitter code into their computer. You can track up to 4 different transmitters on one computer. So, you can track your air as T-1 (transmitter 1) and your buddies transmitter as T-2. Not complex at all. Very simple. Only have to input your code one time. Even if battery dies, or you change it, the computer remembers the code. Billions of frequencies so you don't get another transmitter by accident. Thanks for watching. Freddy

Question -- Given your experience with Shearwater Tern TX now -- and the announcement of the PEREGRINE TX this week --- (plus other experience with Teric, presume others Perdix or Peregrine), What are your thoughts for aging eyes on Peregrine TX vs Tern TX readability (given Peregrine and Peregrine TX have same display)? Why would you pick a TERN TX over a PEREGRINE TX -- or would you?
@LeviathanScuba
2 ай бұрын
Awesome question and we have been discussing this exact question with our staff. First, the Peregrine, Perdix screens are for sure larger. And on bright, they are very easy to see. But, The Teric, Tern screens are higher resolution and get brighter again extremely easy to see even with my 62 year old eyes. It is going to be a personal choice for most. Any shop that sells Shearwater should have both to look at side by side. To answer your question accurately and personally, I would choose the Tern TX. My personal reason is that I will put it on before my trip and except for charging take it off when my trip is over. It is very much like a watch and performs that function. The battery so far is far outlasting the Teric. Plus the size is not a restriction for my eyes yet. If I wore the Perdix, Peregrine, I would take it off between dives or at least at the end of the dive portion of the day. Hope it helps. Freddy

Your personal feedback is much appreciated Freddy. Love the channel too. With the new need for readers, I am still torn. Love the readability of Amoled, and the pragmatic portability of the watch style as you describe. The extra spacing between data on the Peregrine seems visually appealing. Anyone else on the trip prefer the larger display? (Albeit hard to imagine.)

Thanks for the really great review. Can I ask how does the screen/crystal hold up, in terms of scratches and scuffs? The reason being, the Tern uses a significantly lower quality crystal (toughened glass) than the Teric (sapphire crystal). I've read of people scratching their Tern screens quite easily, even on the very first dive. Is the screen protector on the Tern easy to replace and where would you get the replacement from?

I have dove with it for 6 months. I have 3 of my instructors and my shop manager that have also used it for 3 to 6 months. 2 of them are using it as a daily wear. So far, no scratches. Any Shearwater dealer can get you the screen savers. The bezel does extend a tiny bit further than the screen, so that should protect it a bit. The battery right now is the biggest thing. The Tern has been surprisingly outstanding in compared to the Teric. Lasts way longer. I will quantify that in my next extended review. Thanks for watching. Freddy

I thought your comment about having the transmitter eliminates the need for gauges was interesting. As a newer diver, I was taught that's it's always important to have a backup whether it's analog or digital.

Great question. My friend, everyone varies on this issue. Usually, a result of a personality type issue. Please watch our video on how much gear is enough. That will answer clearly but for the sake of the answer here. I trust the gear that I purchase. Recreational diving, I don't need redundancy. Worst case scenario is that I abort a dive. But, I learned prior to computers. I can dive a watch only if necessary. Also I recognize where I am in my dive profile, timing, air consumption, etc and I can recognize if my tank is low just by my breathing. So, tricky answer is that depending on your skill level, experience, advanced training etc your comfort level will grow exponentially. Heck, i often don't even use a bcd. thanks for watching.

It depends on what computer you use. If you have suunto , this thing loses signal every other Saturday, so you definitely want an SPG. I removed my SPG after a year of using Shearwater, and put a button gauge into 1st stage - i use it to check tank pressure on fresh cylinder, so i don't have to twinkle with computer, plus i can use it as cross check between gauge and computer, and i can always remove BCD to look at it if in real pich . But i keep SPG set in my luggage, just in case something goes wrong while I'm on vacation. In terms of procedure, if your transmitter fails, you do the same thing as if SPG fails - end the dive , go topside.

As a new diver slowly collecting gear, would you recommend the tern, tern tx, or the peregrine. The peregrine is a bit less expensive

Tern TX or Peregrine TX so you have AI. I bought a Tern TX right when it came out, because I thought that was the best value features wise for the money at the time and I needed one. I have an Apple Watch for daily wear, so having more options now I would pick the Peregrine TX solely based on the larger screen.

See a few of the comments above to help with more information. My answer is that choose air integrated versions always. If you can't afford it yet, it won't be long because the transmitter isn't so expensive that you can't just save a bit more to get the air integrated version. As of this week, the peregrine tx just came out. Less expensive than the Tern TX. Check it out. Freddy You might also want to find our video on how to choose a dive computer. Great information and fully explains the air integration safety etc.
