Mares Sirius

The Mares Sirius is a fantastic, easy-to-use dive computer...except for one thing: the screen is impossible to see. Who in 2024 thought a MIP screen was acceptable when OLED is available? Unless it is very sunny and you're on a shallow dive or you have a flashlight aimed directly at the screen, it's nearly unreadable. Every video you see of the Sirius where the screen is easily seen, trust me -- there's a studio light aimed directly at it. I can read my dive buddy's OLED computer 15 feet away more easily than I can read my own. It was my own fault for purchasing without doing my due diligence, but it never even occurred to me that, in 2024, anyone would be using such dim screens (and I was fooled by the ad photos showing the vibrant screen). If they put an OLED on this, I'd highly recommend it. As it is, $1,000 for something I can't see is way too much. Honestly, they need to keep the same price and add OLED more than they need to reduce the price of this MIP device -- this screen isn't acceptable at any price. And I personally don't care about the added battery drain of OLED -- like every OLED dive watch on the market has shown, you can get more-than-adequate battery life even with an OLED screen. If stretching your battery to the limit is your primary concern, then maybe this is your dive computer. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

Arrived on time and easy to track progress. The dive computer is exactly as described and works perfectly.

On time, checked ✅ and works perfect 👌 after first dive

Wer die Bedienung des Mares Matrix drauf hat, muss sich hier kaum umgewöhnen. Schade ist jedoch, dass der Computer nicht in ein tiefes Standby ohne Anzeige versetzen lässt. So orgelt sich aller paar Tage der Akku komplett runter. Laut Anleitung sollte das dem Teil nichts ausmachen. Ich weiß ja nicht - Stichwort Tiefentladung. Was aber wirklich unterirdisch ist, ist die Helligkeit des Displays und die Leuchtdauer - wirklich sehr dunkel (selbst bei höchster Helligkeit) und nur kurze Leuchtdauer. Ich war noch nicht im Wasser, aber die Brillanz wie auf den Fotos wird an Land definitiv nicht erreicht.

Ottima fattura, computer di fascia medio/alta fornisce un'ottima visibilita' contrariamente a quanto letto in altre recensioni, a mio avviso si legge molto bene. La batteria quando usato semplicemente come orologio dura circa 6gg.

Una goduria, anche se sono una ragazza... Sta benissimo!
