Introduction to Doxa: Distinctive Professional Dive Watches

Air mode is for diving with standard air, nitrox allows you to use up to three different gas mixtures, and gauge mode is for free-diving (diving without any tank at all). Integrated digital compass.Altitude adjustment in case your dive doesn't start from sea level (as may be the case with lakes).Optional wireless transmitter which attaches to the high-pressure port on your tank and sends pressure data to the D9.Low battery warning -- essential for preventing a diver from finding a dead computer mid-dive.Temperature measurement.Multiple decompression modes.All the expected digital watch functions (12/24h modes, multiple alarms, dual time zones, stopwatch, clock, calendar).USB inte***ce with PC software for downloading dive logs.Graphical inte***ce for depth and dive time.Although the most interesting feature of the Timex iControl is certainly its ability to remotely control your iPod, I do want to point out that even without the iPod functionality, it's actually a very nice sports watch. It's so light, and the webbed strap is so soft and airy, that it's very easy to forget that it's on your wrist. The bezel has a nice shine to it, and the LCD is one of the highest contract displays I've seen on a digital watch. The fit and finish of the Timex iControl is clearly a step up from previous IRONMAN models.But let's be honest: wirelessly controlling your iPod from your watch is extremely cool, and not just for athletes. Although my iControl mainly accompanies me to the gym, once you start wearing it around, all kinds of additional uses start to become apparent. As Paul pointed out in our original Timex iControl post, if you connect your iPod to your car stereo through an auxiliary input, you can essentially control your car stereo with your watch which is easier and probably much safer than messing with your iPod while driving.
