It's convenient to apply pressure directly from your wrist. Before diving, combine your Suunto EON Steel Black with a Suunto Tank POD to wirelessly monitor tank pressure on your watch. Twenty PODs can be connected to the finished POD and computer.
User Personalization
Diver control and usability are the top priorities for the Suunto EON Steel Black. Complete user customization serves as the foundation. Suunto asserts that this computer will change with you as your diving and technical abilities advance. The Suunto EON custom colour display guarantees that. Within four customized user displays, you can select between classic and graphical viewing and specify precisely what you wish to be displayed. The EON comes with a wrist strap and bungee option, so you may wear it however suits you best. It is also built up to accept customizable add-on skins.
You can switch between features such as multi-gas diving (up to 20 gases) with support for air, nitrox, and trimix, an integrated tilt-compensated 3D compass, altitude adjustment, alarms/stops, decompression data, gauge/bottom timer mode, timer, depth alarms, and air integration options within your custom-set interface.
Stay Up-to-Date
You will ultimately save a ton of money by using Suunto updateable software. You can download new software and upgrade your EON instead of purchasing a new model yearly (such as a closed-circuit rebreather). You may organize your dives using Suunto DM5 software, which will then send your data to your computer effortlessly. Even the heaviest cold water diving gloves can operate the simple 3-button interface. Furthermore, the highly vivid colour display that can be viewed from any angle and the straightforward 3-button interface make this computer incredibly simple and usable for novice and experienced divers at any level of diving.
Built To Be Durable
No less striking is the build of the Suunto EON Steel Black. Over 50% of the exceptionally tough reinforced composite material used in the housing is strong glass fibre. Brushed stainless steel was used to build the bezel, making it durable enough to withstand years of usage. Additionally, the Xensation glass screen's extreme toughness and resistance will endure rough use repeatedly.
The Suunto EON Steel Black has been rigorously tested for all forms of diving, is guaranteed to 150 meters (492 feet), and has an operational temperature range of 0 degrees Celsius to 40 degrees Celsius (+32 degrees Fahrenheit to +104 degrees Celsius). Additionally, the new rechargeable battery may be charged through a computer connection or using a Suunto charger. It will provide 20 to 40 hours of dive time on a full charge.
The best dive computer currently on the market is the Suunto EON Steel Black. It may be used by any level diver in any diving environment and boasts several impressive technical advancements, user-friendly features, complete customizability, and robust qualities.

What We Think...
The multiple award-winning Suunto EON Steel Black is, as advertised, a computer that grows with you. The large, clear colour display is great for divers who struggle to read smaller dive computer displays. It's perfectly suited for the entry-level diver with its sleek, intuitive, compact and lightweight design, but those who dive once a year and have no intention of progressing further may find the Suunto Zoop Novo more suited to their budget.
For the more active recreational diver going beyond basic recreational requirements, the digital 3D compass and support for multiple tank pods make this a great solution. For divers who think they might develop into technical diving, the Suunto EON Steel Black is a worthwhile investment, allowing the possibility of up to twenty Air, Nitrox and Trimix gas mixes, plus CCR diving as they acquire the relevant skills.
We know some people dislike the Suunto Fused RGBM model for being 'too conservative', however, we believe conservatism in recreational diving is the order of the day. Dedicated techies may prefer the Bühlmann-based algorithms to squeeze in those extra few minutes of dive time, but pushing limits is not on our list of things to do. Besides, you can change the settings and make the Suunto EON Steel Black's Fused RGBM model more or less conservative as you wish. Or you can switch to the Buhlmann 16 GF model with configurable ascent profiles. You decide what's your decompression profile for the dive.
Confused about Decompression Algorithms?
There is a lot of talk about the benefits and problems associated with various diving decompression algorithms. In this video, Dr. Bruce Wienke, the respected creator of the decompression software used in the Suunto dive computers and many other brands, discusses the key differences between Suunto's Fused RGBM and the open-source Buhlmann GF model.
There are people who criticise the Suunto Fused RGBM model saying it forces them to spend extra time in the water compared to a dive computer using the Buhlmann GF model. Not so. You can adjust the conservatism of the Suunto software. Make it more aggressive for less time decompressing, or even more conservative. The choice is yours.
There are people who complain that the Deep Stops feature of the Suunto software holds them up when diving with buddies whose dive computers don't support deep stops. Then turn it off. Deep Stops are an optional setting. You don't have to do them.
In a recent test, a boatload of technical and rebreather divers with dive computers using the Buhlmann GF model were given Suunto Eon Core dive computers to take on their long deco dives. They all said that they wouldn't wait for the Suunto, that they'd dive as their own Buhlmann GF model dive computer told them to. Based on the myths they had heard, some divers said that this would mean that they'd thus be locking the Suunto EON Core out and that the EON Cores wouldn't be able to be used the next day.
Well the settings of each Suunto EON Core was adjusted to match the aggressiveness or conservatism of the Buhlmann GF settings each diver was using. Dives completed and back on the boat, not one Suunto EON Core had locked out. Every Suunto EON Core had closely matched the other dive computer throughout the dive. Myth busted!
We sell dive computers that use the Buhlmann GF model, and ones that use the Suunto Fused RGBM model. Take your pick. Just don't base your pick on the misinformation and myths that are out there about these diving algorithms.
