What’s best is what’s best for you and your diving, not the other 99 opinions you are going to get. You are new to diving, are you going to ever use EAN/nitrox? Mixed gases? If you wear glasses can you read that Suunto underwater? Consol or wrist, because I’m carring a camera one computer is on my left wrist and it yells at me everytime I reach up to dump. Are you up to changing the battery or taking it to the shop?

Understand that there are only a few companies making dive computers, Suunto, Paligic which is Oceanic are two of them, most of the others are just private lables of them.

If you get serious about diving you’ll probably wear two computers, and yes I’ve had both fail on the same dive :( One of them needs to allow you to adjust it’s calculations from conservative (safer) to risky so the two will match so you don’t need to watch them argue over weather it’s time to go up or you have a few more minutes of bottom time, safety stops and SI. Once they start arguing it goes on for the rest of the dive trip!
