Starting to lose my love for Shearwater

Controversial I know, but as a UK based individual I’ve recently had two computers with depth sensor failures, a Petrel 1 and a Perdix 1 AI with about 120 and 400 dives respectively. Both these computers are treated well, this just seems to be bad luck.

Petrel 1 deemed non repairable even if I can provide the sensor. This I can somewhat understand although if I pay and provide parts, and don’t expect a warranty, you’d hope they might be willing to try.

Perdix 1 AI, you’d think this was repairable right? Nope. No parts available anymore, can only offer me an upgrade to Perdix 2 for £582 + shipping.

Frankly I think this is quite poor. The discount on the Perdix 2 is not really good enough, especially given the repair would have cost much less.

Is this the deal now? You basically have to buy a new computer every 5 years? That’s how old the Perdix AI is.

What’s it like in other parts of the world?
