In your opinion and experience, what is the best analog 3 gauge console, one that includes a pressure gauge, depth gauge, and compass? I’m looking for "best" in terms of price and performance, around $175 - $225.

[Choose #2] I chose the mini because it is the smallest, and thus closest to the real best analog-only option: SPG-only on hose, depth gauge on one wrist, compass on the other. That way both hands remain free except when checking SPG.

[Choose #5] tough to say for the price range you set. The two best for a higher price are , of course, the Suunto D9 with pressure transmitter. I have that but I really love my Atomic Aquatics single screen color display. They retail for about $900.

[Choose #3] The question was nothing about computers. The survey was 3 gauge analog

[Choose #5] None of the above. Thats because I do not prefer a 3 guage console hanging around me trying to catch on everything in my path. Much prefer a hoseless wrist computer and one less air hose to deal with. At that price range they are all the same.

[Choose #5] I am super pleased with my Atomic Cobalt, $1,200. But out of the price range.

[Choose #5] Genesis ~$225 CG5720 and Aqualung Suunto 41182 (you need to add a compass)

[Choose #5] None is any better than the other for air or depth save what you can and invest i the better compass. From those listed the best compass would be Oceanic but I’d still prefer a Sunnto SK7.
