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

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.

I am pleased with it his dive computer. I wanted something at the cheaper/beginner end of the range of computers as I only dive a few times a year while on holiday and couldn’t justify higher spec’d ones with functionality I don’t use. The screen display is clear and easy to read at a depth of 20m and on a night dive. It’s not as bulky as some available and presented no issues with snagging that my previous Uwatec one did. Excellent value for money and I’m pleased with the purchase.

TL:DR - easy once you get the hang of it, but wish I'd checked the dimensions, its massive! This is sold as an easy option, but the instructions are lacking in information to help the diver who has never used a dive computer/watch before. However, once you get the hang of the one button, it is easy if a little long winded to scroll through all options with the one button. A mistake I made was not reading the dimensions, its sooo much bigger than I realised and if I'd known, I wouldn't have bough it.

Been using this regularly since I purchased 60 logged dives on it.. not had to change the battery yet.. Brilliant 👏

Works well. All ok while diving

I do not like leaving negative reviews due to the current climate but when one is treated like the below, one fees obliged to alert others. My reasons for one star: 1. When the package arrived, it was open in the box, dusty and looked second-hand.. (see attached pic). and I still have no idea if it is missing any manuals or docs as have nothing to compare to. I contacted the seller - Cressi who proceeded to inform me that it must be Amazon and that it was not an ex-display model. I took them at their word, as you do and hoped for the best! 2. I went on the Cressi website and ordered the recommended battery - CR2450. Left for a dive site 2h from Dubai in the middle of nowhere. When I arrived and looked at the watch, the battery showed as per the pic, almost empty! I'm sorry but if this was not ex-display - why would a watch with such a good reputation of battery life show as almost empty?!! So I opened the watch ready to change and the battery inside is actually CR2430 (note to anyone who is buying one of these) My heart sank as was supposed to dive in the morning. Of course the dive shop did not have the battery and no where close, only Dubai - 2h away! I took a chance and got a dive out but had to cut dives short because of a battery. Thanks a lot seller! I emailed Cressi a number of times and they are yet to bother replying. 3. You can see in the pic there is a plastic screen protector of sorts. Mine was of course full of dust when I received it but the real issue with this watch is: While you are diving - you can see it ok. After you surface however, a film of water gets trapped between the face and the protective screen and so viewing your surface & RNT etc. is very tedius indeed. I am afraid of retiring the watch as I fear not getting refunded due to my bad experience so far.. so will have to make do with a second-hand, troublesome DC. Never again.

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.

Easy to use

Excellent rapport qualité prix

Muy buena computadora, nada nuevo, pero sirve, buena visibilidad debajo del agua, acepta nitrox, entonces sirve si ya tienes hasta nitrox avanzado

The protective cover was scratched, which is disappointing for a brand new computer. Box was also a bit torn inside, so does not look like a brand new computer. Hope that it works. Would really like to know if protective cover can be replaced.

Decent dive computer and I got it with a good deal.

Easy to use, good price offer. It activates automaticaly when submerged. Can be configured, has log for nitrox, free dive and air. Keeps count of no fly time. Anything you might need
