However, with the Donatello, a quick battery change will have your computer back up and working in no time. After the overwhelming success of Leonardo, the most recognized Italian diving gear brand hits the ball out of the park again thanks to subsidiary Cressi Elettronica’s effort.

The Interface is available also with Bluetooth connectivity for connecting the device to the smartphone. The Cressi Donatello computer features complete Nitrox management, depth gauge mode, and a reset option. As with all its computers, the Donatello comes with a two-year warranty starting from the date of purchase. The docking station is equipped with a cr 2032 battery included and replaceable by the user, which allows not to consume the internal battery of the dive computer. Features a “User-Friendly Display System”: the information display, screen contrast, proportions and digit size have been carefully chosen for ease of use.I guess this is all obvious to someone who knows that depth, time and temperature are not "dive functions. Specific summary information notices will be shown and/or displayed on the pages that are used for providing services on demand. It would be a great computer for a new diver, or one who didn’t want a complicated computer, like me. The wristband is made from lightweight thermoplastic polyurethane rubber and features a stainless steel buckle making it very durable. As it’s geared to recreational divers, the options are basic but do allow you to have one Nitrox mix up to 50% oxygen.

But dig a little deeper and you’ll see the differences between the Donatello and the Leonardo are most definitely there. If you’re not a fan of being constantly beeped at, you’ll be pleased to know that most of the Donatello’s alarms can be disabled. Overall, the watch design is low profile and fits snuggly on the wrist while still allowing full movement of the hand. Other technical advantages of the Donatello include a saltwater-calibrated depth gauge for greater accuracy and an easily replaceable CR2450 battery.

The improvement in the menu structure on the Donatello makes it easier and quicker to navigate through. With one button, there’s not much you can mess up with this computer, and it’s easy to fix if you choose — or don’t choose — an option you wanted. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. The Donatello has the capability that you can switch the dive computer functionalities off even if you are in the water.
