Weird story, I used to dive a ton and my watch died , I bought a battery kit and just never changed it because I got away from diving as much, and so after probably ten years I put an old ( new) battery kit in it and it started right up!
I get this question alot. On my left wrist is my normal everyday watch for telling the time. It never leaves my wrist. On my right wrist is the dive computer watch, which i only wear while diving.
Hey man. Its a good question, and difficult to answer in a public forum - because the rule is never dive alone. I used to dive alone - but the risk is there, I though it was acceptable, and i wasn't going deeper then 12 or so meters. But I've stopped that now. I'm always with a buddy. There is no way I would drop below the 20 meter mark without somebody watching me. And please check out my other videos, like the Green Island and Justin's Caves video :)
Hi aquafafa- I had the same problem, and thankfully I know the solution. The trick was to reset the diver counter to zerio before exiting the FREE mode. When you are in FREE mode, exit FREE by holding top left button for 2 seconds , and you should be back in the time mode. Hold top left button again for 2 seconds to go back into FREE. If you now see the the sufrace timer is still counting, hold the top right button for 2 seconds to reset the diver counter to 0. Now exit FREE mode- should be ok
The ring is made of steel. But yes its a mostly plastic watch. If your interested in just using it as a dive watch, i think that was the right choice. However if you want a more fashionable fully metal watch, you can look at the Suunto D4i range. They have both plastic and stainless steel versions. You'll pay a small fortune for the stainless steel.
im 13 and i just started freediving. My dad, an experienced free diver, is going to take me diving later in the year. Right now we're buying all of me gear and it's getting expensive. Are there any cheaper watches that are similar to this one? And is it important or necessary to have a dive watch?
thank you! i will try this at my next dive ! because for the moment, i had pushed out the battery to return to a counter at zero . and it's not good for waterproofing. i hope that your solution works for me ! have a good day !
I personally I will stick the F10.I like the big display digits And most importantly to me, user replaceable battery. I have done 2 battery changes. quick easy cheap. The D4 requires the watch to be sent into a service center to have the battery changed. It costs a lot.. and they will probably keep the watch for a few days before handing it back to you. Not a dealbreaker - just a trade off. D4 sounds more suitable for you. Its still a good choice, more functional(scuba), and better looking.
Hello Freediver HD, love all your videos you have great explanations to everything. Other than dive mode, what else made you want to keep the F10 vs. F10-v2?
Hey Born2Die83! One question about the watch, that I do also own, is regarding the temp indication. It just seems like it adjusts very slow to any temp change. For instance, if water temp at surface is about 22'C, at -23 m it should be about 1-2 degrees lower, which is noticeable when not wearing a wetsuit. Have you ever noticed this when diving? It's my first dive watch and I wonder, shouldn't it be more sensitive?
You know any good price on a watch for both freediving and scuba? I'm doing a bit of both and would like to find one that does it all. Great channel btw!
To Amaro: When "OFF" is always there, press once upper right MODE button to get time, day, date screen. Now press and hold upper right button until it blink (around 3-4 sec.) and time, day, date screen should be on. It think that this is like battery saver. When Im not using it I put it to OFF....
Hi mate, Great videos must say. I just did mi SSI course, and your videos are inspiring. I got myself F10 v2 couple days ago, thanks for video about it. I have a little problem, my f10 is not showing me watch time. Its only little like number 8 sign, and it says "OFF". By any chance do you have any idea how to change that? Lol, thanks
hello,I have the same watch, and I have a small question. when you are in FREE mode, the counter put a spin. but when the dives are finished ,the mode free is always running. while in the beginning when I am in the time mode alternately free mode, the counter return to zero. I have dried sensors, just in case ... but the counter of the mode free run continuously since 9:00 hours ...not good for battery can you tell me how is the functionning of your watch? sorry for my bad english. thank you
Thank you :) My wife just bought this watch for me, for my 50 year old birthday this Saturday. The v3 version. I really enjoy you channel, your channel gave me inspiration to start freediving. Thank you :)
Hi Freediver, probably sounds like a stupid question but do you know how to change the watch from meters to feet. I have searched the manual and cant find anything. I looked on deeper blue but they say go to page 55 and my manual only goes to 30. Very confusing but im lost in meters. Love the videos by the way.
Hi there. Here's how to change units from meters to feet: 1. Press+hold MODE button to go into freedive mode. 2. Press+hold ADV.LOG and SELECT buttons simultaneously. You'll get then into SETA mode (meaning: Set Alarms). 3. Press+hold ADV.LOG and SELECT buttons simultaneously again. You'll then get to SETU (meaning: set utilities). 4. Press the ADV.LOG button 3 times. (1st time: you get to choose what kind of water you train in - SEA or FRESH. 2nd time: you get to choose the depth of which you want to start the chrono for freedive. 3rd time: you get to the UNIT menu which allows you to choose which system you want to use: either METER and CELSIUS of FEET and FAHRENHEIT. To make your choice, press the SELECT button. 5. Then, to get out of this menu, once you've made your choice, press+hold the ADV.LOG and SELECT buttons simultaneously. You'll then get to the serial number of your dive computer (watch). Press+hold AGAIN on those 2 buttons to go back to FREEDIVE MODE. 6. To get back to WATCH MODE from FREEDIVE MODE, hold the MODE button. You can go back and forth from these 2 modes by holding the MODE button. There you go !
Hi Jonathan, thanks very much for the reply. When I got to Fahrenheit I must have been blind and didnt see the small ft icon. Thanks again for your help.
How do I set the "standard time" as the time I want to display by default? My watch goes into the alternate time view after 2 minutes and displays just "Off" because I have not set any time offset. That is pretty annoying, how do I change defaults between the two times?
Freediver HD I ordered it for 250 dollars, i think it is version 1. It does not say, but seems logic. What are the added features on the version 2? Maybe I can still cancel the order
Version 1 has something called 'wet activation'. that feature was removed in v2. People told me v1 is a bit buggy, but I never owned one. so im not sure.
do you know is oceanic F-10 v.3 same watch as this one? its atleast 40€ cheaper than aeris and they supposed to be the same? and does it have new features cuz its "v.3"

Just bought this computer and pretty much set the whole thing up from your review. love the vids. hope you got somethin new on the way. cheers!

Thanks for your review, It helped me makeup my mind up on watch to get.I got one today and i'm loving it.

Here is one way - check if your watch has the 'wet activation' options in the settings. V2 does NOT have this setting - it was removed in in the V2.

Good review! Great dive watch! In the diving clips you are using two watches, one on each hand, can you tell why?
thank you! i will try this at my next dive ! because for the moment, i had pushed out the battery to return to a counter at zero . and it's not good for waterproofing.
i hope that your solution works for me ! have a good day !

great review, wonder if you are free diving do you often dive just by yourself? I thinking of diving alone sometime, wonder if you think thats safe?
no its not

very nice review! Did you have any problems so far with the F10 V2?
thanks

Thank you bro... Very helpfull !!!
So it has all the normal functions of a watch plus the free diving features?
Hi Freediver HD, a question, how to turn the timer on both in watch mode and free mode? Both of them are show off, and I can not turn them on.
Hello, Can you tell me if there is a way to tell if you have the Aeris F10 V2 or Aeris F10 V1?
Hi, could you tell me where I can buy the bracelet screws because you ask for a thank you.
Hi mate,
Great videos must say. I just did mi SSI course, and your videos are inspiring.
I got myself F10 v2 couple days ago, thanks for video about it.
I have a little problem, my f10 is not showing me watch time.
Its only little like number 8 sign, and it says "OFF".
By any chance do you have any idea how to change that?
Lol, thanks
***** Thanks mate. Did it!
hello,I have the same watch, and I have a small question.
when you are in FREE mode, the counter put a spin. but when the dives are finished ,the mode free is always running. while in the beginning when I am in the time mode alternately free mode, the counter return to zero.
I have dried sensors, just in case ... but the counter of the mode free run continuously since 9:00 hours ...not good for battery
can you tell me how is the functionning of your watch?
sorry for my bad english.
thank you
hello , mate .
i want to ask is there japanese brand for freediving watch ?
what is the differences between sea and fresh water, when you freedive. And why does the watch need to know?
Salt water is slightly heavier than fresh water, so the pressure sensor will read sightlight deeper in salt water vs fresh water.
Thank you :) My wife just bought this watch for me, for my 50 year old birthday this Saturday.
The v3 version.
I really enjoy you channel, your channel gave me inspiration to start freediving. Thank you :)
denmyos happy 50th, and all the best with your diving!
hi,,is there any mode to see the final dive time of the day?
Hi Freediver, probably sounds like a stupid question but do you know how to change the watch from meters to feet. I have searched the manual and cant find anything.

Hi Jonathan, thanks very much for the reply. When I got to Fahrenheit I must have been blind and didnt see the small ft icon. Thanks again for your help.
You're welcome.
For how long does the battery last on the F.10 v.2?
How do I set the "standard time" as the time I want to display by default? My watch goes into the alternate time view after 2 minutes and displays just "Off" because I have not set any time offset. That is pretty annoying, how do I change defaults between the two times?
I see, long press Select on the desired time screen.
Does this one have the option for inputting static o2/co2 tables? I thought the D4i did have it. Or am i mistaken?
stevegorel no option for this on this watch. The d4i has basic tables, but it's lacking in functionality. You much better off with a smartphone app.
Freediver HD So, I only free dive. Does the D4i have some options for free diving that the Aeris F10 (v3) doesn't have that I need to consider?
Aeris has bigger easier to read digits, and a user replaceable battery, that's it.
Freediver HD I ordered it for 250 dollars, i think it is version 1. It does not say, but seems logic. What are the added features on the version 2? Maybe I can still cancel the order
Version 1 has something called 'wet activation'. that feature was removed in v2. People told me v1 is a bit buggy, but I never owned one. so im not sure.
Thx Dude now i buy it ;)
do you know is oceanic F-10 v.3 same watch as this one?
its atleast 40€ cheaper than aeris and they supposed to be the same?
and does it have new features cuz its "v.3"
***** Thank you for your quick reply, will get that oceanic then!
Im having an issue with my f10 v3 my temperature gauge always reads a few or if not more degrees off than it should be, any thoughts?
+Tyler is Hyper Oceanic/Aeris's quality has gone to shit since this video was made.
+Tyler is Hyper You need to go down with 2 watches side by side and test.
+Freediver HD man that sucks. The watch was okay on everything else but that temp irked me, anyway thanks dean
No
Just get this one. The others are all clones.
he lost une
329.00 to much
No
