I completely agree with your analysis. The sucky part is it really depends on the dive shop you go with.
I bought ScubaPro EVERYTHING (G2 Tek, HUD, transmitters, etc) until I purchased my Cho₂ptima, in which I bought ALL NEW Shearwater gear. -
If I'm ever in the market for a new dive computer I'll probably keep an eye on this one but until then my Aqualung i470TC will do.
-
I noticed you dive with Deep 6.. can you please do a review and/or perhaps a comparison with the Apeks xtx 50 or apeks equivalent product? You probably are the only person who will talk about his experience using both ?
Awesome video btw. I just pickuped the Perdix 2 Ti with a transmitter. About to get the 2nd with a Sidemount regulator setup and am torn between Apeks XTX 50 and Deep 6.
-
"Some other POS" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have a Tern TX and I love it for what I do!
-
I have a TernTX and love it EXCEPT for a major irritation that it estimates pressure at +40 mBar over the true pressure. Measuring ambient pressure is a computer’s only job and it’s mis-calibrated from factory. Doesnt really affect diving except it thinks that my PPO2 is +0.01 higher than true
-
FYI, the Tern and Tern TX were released at the same time. 8:21
-
I think the Tern and Tern Tx were launched in 2024 at the same time. Perhaps you mean the Peregrine (2020) and Peregrine Tx (2024)?
I love my Tern Tx, the only gripe I have is the included straps. I can't get the included long one over my dry suit, so replaced it with the Remora webbing strap. So I just factored in an extra £15 to the cost, which on the scale of things, is hardly world ending.
-
Bought and dived my brand new Tern TX with Air Integration this summer. It was awesome. Having air Integration was a game changer. Being able to see your SAC in realtime is super helpful and makes you mindful about your breathing.
-
with wristwatch-style dive computers, I teach my students to wear it under the wrist. More ergonomically correct and reduces chances of snagging with things
-
They should be able to use the "tilt conpensator" or an accelerometer (which are tiny) to detect wrist shake and turn on backlight…
-
"….or some other POS …" oh that tickeled me! 😂
-
I am wondering why is a aqualung computer a POS? I have a aqualung 700i and i love it.
-
Totally agree. I started off with the Perdix and love that one too, but the Tern TX is perfect for my recreational dives and instructor dives. Thanks for the review.
-
Don't have a sharewater, but I completely agree on the tilt to display. My Drive computer has this feature… While underwater as well I am generally not looking at my dive computer.
When I look at my dive computer I will be tilting my wrist. I cannot see why this functionality shouldn't be built in -
“Tougher than boiled owl.” New one that. Stealin’ dat. My open water cert is this weekend in PCB. My first tech purchase was a computer, on your recommendation; and a Peregrine TX, on my own. It seems I picked a wonderful time to quit amphetamines. Dive safe.

Be sure to turn off your Honey plugin if you are planning to use James links. Honey steals the "credit"
-
Great video as always James. I love my Perdix 2 w/AI. Amazingly easy to program, understand and use. It will soon be my backup to a Petrel 3, when I start diving CCR in the spring.
-
well said james.
-
Thanks for the review. I find it odd that everyone always boasts about shearwater's customer support. It makes me wonder how many of these are defective so that almost everyone has had experience with customer support? Currently I have 3 suuntos, one of which is over 15 years old, and none have ever seen customer support. Don't get me wrong, I really want to switch over to shearwater, but I am concerned about why so many people have experience with customer support. Are the computers that glitchy?
-
James, what’s your opinion on the peregrine tx?
-
I am sorry to say it, but a dive computer for 775$ without tax is hardly an entry level computer. By no means i am saying the Tern or Tern TX is a bad computer. But my first computer cost me 250$ and it did it's job fine for over 150 dives in a 4 months time span. I know that diving isn't a cheap hobby/sport, however there are a lot of computers that do an ok job for a recreational diver that don't cost nearly 800$ and thats without the transmitter which costs another 400$. If a fresh open water diver that's just diving for 2 or 3 weeks a year in warm water asks me, i would reccomend a simple Suunto Zoop Novo because it is more then enough for what he is doing. And that is the entry level market.
-
I have the perdix AI, have for a number of years and have no plans to change it, main feature I love, user replaceable battery so I never have to deal with an end of life internal battery replacement.
-
I was about to buy a Glock but then saw a Peregrine and boutght it on the spot.
-
So if someone was just starting out and on a budget would you still recommend the Tern TX as an entry level computer? Seems pretty pricey.
-
Recreationally does all the bells and whistles really matter? As long as my basic computer logs and tells me what I need to know?
-
The Tern is a good computer but, at $1000, it's inexplicably missing basic features that would be found on a $300 dive computer from 20 years ago, such as depth and time alerts. It's becoming obvious that Shearwater is going the same way as the mainstream competitors in focusing more on revenue and less on value for money. I also really don't like that you can configure only one element of the display on the main page.
-
Is it possible to change the straps on these to "regular watch" NATO straps? Does anyone know what the lug width is in that case? I have not really found any sources on the matter.
-
I just purchased a Tern TX. My watch stays on. It turn off 10 minutes after it stops detecting motion. Exactly what James was asking for. Is this a set up issue, or was there a firmware update to address it?
-
Would the tern tx be okay as a back up computer for tec diving ?
-
Buy once, cry once. I just bought my daughter a Tern TX for Christmas. I have a Perdix and in terms of Shearwater you just cannot beat them.
