CRESSI Donatello Diving Computer - Professional Wrist Diving and Apnea Dive Computer, One Size, Unisex Adult

Easy to use

Works well. All ok while diving

I did 25 dives between 70 and 100 minutes, the Donatello did a good job of displaying depth, non-deco remaining and dive time. As most modern computers do, it winds non-deco time back on if you come up slightly. The wrist strap seemed secure, and it seems to be easy to change the battery, but I haven't tried yet. A good choice for the recreational diver. Only gripe was the single button interface is rather annoying to use, but once the time and date are set most people can forget about that until the battery needs changing. I guess if you are regularly changing mixes you'd get the hang of it. (knocked a star off for that - perhaps a bit harsh as a lot of two button interfaces are a pain as well)

Cressi Donatello - feels very good quality, easy to navigate and set up. All what I need as begginer diver. Very good back light. Can't wait to dive with it. 2 dives so far, including one on nitrox. Very pleased from computer. Works as it should including alerts, not too loud but can be heard underwater.

It’s a decent product overall, especially if you want big, no-nonsense displays. So I’d give a 4-5 overall. The only reason I gave a 1 was because mine was set to Feee Dive rather than Air… I knew it had that option but assumed that it would be set to Air, because its fundamentally a dive computer. So basically on my first dive I didn’t get the Safety Stop message, which caught me out. I was ok because I was wearing my old dive computer as well (which I do whenever I’m ’breaking in’ a new computer). I know I should have probably checked the settings more thoroughly, but posting this so that no one else gets caught out…

This is the only piece of personal dive kit I have. Rent everything else on site. Have gone on 40 dives on this computer and I think it's the perfect balance of what I need as an occasional diver (10 dives squeezed together in a holiday every 6-12 months). The 1-button thing is fine for me - I'm sure it could be more convenient with more buttons (for an extra however many £££), but the logic is pretty simple to understand and use.

This dive computer replaced my old Zunto Zoop. I find this Cressi much easier to use, clear screen when diving and a good price. More than happy.

Excellent entry level dive watch. Does everything I need it to - depth, sea temp, alarms, safety stop, log etc. Screen easy to read. Perfect watch for recreational divers.
