Affordable, reliable and durable, the Mares Smart is a popular model of dive computer that’s been around for some time.
It’s designed with beginner scuba divers in mind; which is evident from it’s incredibly simple user-interface, conservative RGBM and lack of unnecessary features.
Perhaps its biggest selling point is that it’s watch sized – being one of the all time cheapest dive computers to be so.
This means that unlike other cheap and mid-priced dive computers which are far too bulky for every day use, the Mares Smart can function as a regular wristwatch.
It even has a dedicated watch mode with calendar, alarm and dual time-zone features – nice!
Whilst the Mares Smart does lacks some features of more expensive dive computers (e.g. a compass or air integration), features like these are only really required by advanced divers and even then, they’re not essential.
For its target audience – beginner divers wanting a dive computer that can double up as an everyday watch, the Mare Smart is an awesome choice with excellent value for money.
