Shearwater Tern Product Review

[aidanmcgivney]

Best review for these devices yet. Thanks for convincing me to buy!

Thank you very much for the detailed review of the Tern. It was the decisive reason for me to buy the Tern TX tomorrow.
Greetings from cold Germany.

Overall, very thorough review (as usual), and great highlights of the features.

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.

I’m looking at this. Thank you for the video

5:03 I think there may be a video clip missing from here...?

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.

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?

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?

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.

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 don't know if you're reading comments on older videos, but I hope so! I'm a super beginner but I love diving so I hope to do it for a long time, but I probably will go on a diving trip one or 2 weeks a year and dive maybe once every 2-3 weeks in the warmer months at home. Let's say a total of 50 dives a year. If I'm going to be spending this kind of money on a DC, I'd like it to last basically 20 years. Is it worth investing in this, or will another computer give me more years if I use it so sparingly?

There is a typo in the title "shearwater"

[larrygunter]

I have a teric but think it is awesome that this one doesn't have an audbile alram. Most of hte newbies don't know how to turn it off and you keep hearing their computers beeping throughout the dive.

[paulkrein]

Anyone have experience with the buttons and cleaning after Salt Water dives on the TERN vs. the TERIC?

[tacticalyeti]

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

[damiang]

What can you tell me about the screen glass resistance and drop and scratch performance? Thanks, Damian.

Can you do a Scuba Pro Luna 2.0 review?
