Product Showcase: Scubapro Mantis M1 Wrist Computer

Published 11 years agoon June 16, 2015

Developed with Scubapro’s Human Factor Diving^™ approach to product design, Mantis is the only watch-style wrist computer that uses adaptive biometrics to give you a customised dive profile. Mantis incorporates your unique physiological factors into its calculations, providing a pinpoint level of accuracy – completely personalised to you.

With its sleek design and compact size, this “smart” personal dive computer is stylish and versatile plus packs a lot of computing punch.

Wristwatch-style dive computers are all the rage these days because they’re versatile as well as stylish. A dive watch can be worn to the office during the week as a fashionable timepiece. When five o’clock rolls around it can be worn to the gym or lap pool as a workout watch, and when the weekend arrives and it’s time to go diving, you’ve got yourself a full-featured deco computer.

How’s this for multi-functional: For daily topside use the Mantis M1 offers full timekeeping functions. For after-work sports and exercise, the altimeter and thermometer let you track hiking excursions into the upper elevations. The chronograph with lap memory is great for running, as is the heart rate monitor display when using an optional HRM belt. Or, switch to Swim Mode and you can record your swimming time (chronograph), number of swim strokes and swimming distance.

For diving, the Mantis M1 can accommodate three gas mixes, from 21 percent nitrox to 100 percent O2, plus it offers a fixed PPO2 CCR algorithm for closed circuit rebreather diving. It offers four underwater modes: Deco, Gauge, Apnea and CCR. With the optional Polar HRM belt you can monitor your heart rate at depth – a Scubapro exclusive. You can also monitor your own skin temperature, both of which can then be factored into your decompression algorithm for safer, more efficient diving (Scubapro HRM belt for measurement of skin temperature will be available by the end of the year). And for post-dive data tracking, the Mantis M1 comes with LogTRAK software for both PC and Mac as well as an Android LogTRAK app.

Available accessories include a USB dongle for data downloading, a Polar HRM belt, a new Scubapro HRM belt (available at the end of the year), coloured (blue, red, yellow, pink) wrist straps and extensions and a nylon strap and extension.

Mantis M1 dive watches are now available at your authorized Scubapro dealer.

RRP: £369
