Talk:Dive computer

Market share
I'm a diver with 10+years of experience and a good knowledge of the diving market. I feel that the market share % are not real or, at least, can't be applied to a worldwide situation. Suunto and Oceanic are global brands, but the 6,6% attributed to Uwatec is way too low. For example in Europe the market share of Uwatec is probably around 40% and globally the number should be about 30%. I'm unable to cite sources as I'm not aware of any real global market survey, so I refrain from editing the main page, but I'd like to see the data updated or, lacking some verifiable data, removed.

 * This sort of information is unlikely to remain up to date for long, and probably is not a worthwhile addition to an encyclopedia article. No sources for the section have been brought forward since the template was added over a year ago. I'd agree with its removal. --RexxS (talk) 23:31, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Computer list
Should we try and add a list of Dive Computers here on this page? I think the manufacturer pages should probably include models that they make as well, though I did not see any of the models listed on Suunto's page. Many of the makers also do not have pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zevon7 (talk • contribs) 01:02, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * What would the purpose of such a list be? &bull; &bull; &bull; Peter (Southwood) (talk): 07:26, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I landed on this page as I was doing research on the different brands and features available. I was hoping to find a table with a list of models, and then columns that listed the capabilities etc. something like -> Manufacturer | Model | form factor: watch/console | gas support: air/nitrox/trimix | air integrated y/n | Built in compass | USB data transfer | Logbook capacity | Algorithm used | Max depth ... It is possible to go through all sorts of sites to find the info, or maybe there are magazine articles that would compare the models we can pull data from, but having this as a reference would be useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zevon7 (talk • contribs) 22:03, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Indeed. But somebody would have to do the research and create such a list, and then somebody would have to keep it up to date for it to be useful. Nobody has volunteered to do that so far, which is why the list isn't in the article. --RexxS (talk) 00:02, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Manufacturers
The section Dive computer is turning into a adspam link-farm for every brand of dive computer on the market. I suggest that entries on the list are either notable enough to merit an article on Wikipedia (blue-linked), or have a reliable source showing that the company actually manufactures dive computers (as opposed to rebadging another manufacturer's product). If that's agreed, then I'll remove all of the unsourced or unlinked names. --RexxS (talk) 18:39, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Article size, growth, and potential split
Article is now quite large and is likely to continue growing as more sources and details are found for the history section. I suggest that once it has expanded to be the largest section, and has adequate sourcing, that it be summarised for this article, and split out as a stand-alone History of dive computers.

Any good sources for expansion are welcome and may be listed here, or used to directly improve the article.

Relevant comments and discussion are invited. &middot; &middot; &middot; Peter Southwood (talk): 03:32, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
