COSMIQ+ from Deepblu

While it looks a lot like the topside computer watches we’re seeing everywhere these days, the COSMIQ+ from Deepblu is a full-function dive computer (which also has a freedive mode) designed to work closely with your smart phone. It has a 2.2-inch high-contrast LCD screen, a two-button interface and a sealed Li-ion battery that recharges by USB cable. Some settings, including nitrox (up to 40 percent) are performed with the two buttons. But most settings are made via a Bluetooth-capable phone loaded with the user-friendly Deepblu app, which lets you adjust time and date, measurement units, conservative factor and PPO2 limit — and upload firmware updates to the computer. You also use the app to upload detailed logs of your dives (with data, photos and video) that you can share and store on the cloud.
