The Shearwater Teric was released in 2018. This year, Shearwater, makers of the world's best dive computer the Perdix, released a seasonal edition of their only watch style dive computer, the Teric, with a bronze bezel. To celebrate this, it's time to review Shearwater Teric Bronze, Black, Blue and Silver. Is this the best dive watch? How does it shape up as an everyday carry?
Thanks as always for watching!

Your editor has a lot of spare time
James your production quality is top notch. Great review I love my teric and you did a great job speaking to why the computer is so loved. Keep up the great work!
As always a fun and informational video, thanks! But I just gotta say, that montage in the beginning was out of this world, really sharp editing!
Excellent review. I like the fact that you're showing an actual "on the field" screen underwater which is not always the case in other reviews. Thanks for the video.
excellent content as always, James. Best dive channel on youtube. Looking forward to the head to head with the Garmin. Cheers from Canada :)
Love the intro! Looks like you had a blast putting it together too.
Intro is absolute BOMB. 👍
On Teric side - absolutely fantastic thing. Love it to bits.
James, the Teric Journey intro was 🔥🔥🔥!!!
That intro is pure Oscar! Also i decided for the Descent MK2i! Used it for some days now, and i am blown away by its abilities! Teric looks sweet as fuck too! But battery life sold me. Good work on reviews mate, and stay safe out there!
I always enjoy your reviews James!
Glad you like them!
@@DiversReady Steve has put his computer up for sale. He wants that Teric. 🤦🏻♀️🤣
Thanks for the great review! The intro video gave me chills....
The B-Roll intro of the Teric was so nice I thought I was going to see a wartime documentary next
High production value on this one! Nice intro!
James, also Teric is great as a "holiday" dive computer. I have a Perdix (main computer) and Teric as backup / holiday Dive computer.
this way you don't need to take Perdix for few holiday's dive and you have a watch and dive computer at the same time 🙂
Nice review I needed to buy a new computer recently but I opted for a $200 puck style the same brand as the one that I was replacing as I won't need nearly the capability that the shearwater or garmin offer for the type and frequency of diving that I do. I very much liked the intro sequence nice job with the artistic shots.
I have the Journey, I just bought it last month. It does look great.
great review and love my Journeys Edition
I've had a Teric now a few years. It replaced my old Suunto D9 as travel/backup computer for OC dives. For me it is very important that main and backup computers use the same algorythm and private settings (gradient factor in this case). Having Perdix AI as main the Teric has suited well as backup. For CC use the rebreather has a Petrel 2 as controller/computer and my Perdix fits well as backpu for those dives. Having all computers the same brand makes everything easier.
One cool feature for all Shearwater computers is the updates installable by the user.
That intro was badass👏👏👏
Any qi charger will work with the watch; for traveling, you can use a smaller 3rd party wireless charging device. Also, you can use nato straps (I think it's a 22mm lug width) with the watch - that really opens up your styling options, makes changing straps incredibly easy (since you don't remove the pins), and lets you purchase longer straps (which are easily tucked away) for wear over a wetsuit. I also feel that this is a more secure approach that is less likely to see your watch lost due to a broken strap or pin. I use a long strap for diving and then change it out for another strap to wear so that the first strap can dry and I'm not wearing a wet strap all day.
Not exactly true. You can use the Qi charger but some Will cause it to over-heat.
do NOT use a phone charger to charge your teric. spoke with Richard Morton of Divetronix (shearwater service center) and they push too much power in and greatly reduce the life of the battery
@@shakuiel9669 I’ve been using my Perigrine charger for my Teric. Did they say anything about that?
@@thrich2 No that's fine. I exclusively use the Peregrine charger as well since I have a protective aluminum case on my teric
That was a sick ngl. Well worth the wait for the review
Great review ans loved the intro thanks!!!
Another great video. I love my Teric but I have a question about the the Shearwater log. I can see my programmed gases, but I can't find where it shows the actual selected gas.
I change Nitrox mixes depending on the planned depth of the dive and have been entering the mix I used manually.
Love my Teric! Had it since Sep 2018. Mainly used as a holiday computer but in the UK it also fits on my camera arms so that I always have it in line of sight
ever have issues with loosing connectivity under water?
@@gueroloco6334 no, never had any issues
I have the chinese new 2020 limited edition and has the bronze bezel as well. Very awesome computer, I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I bought it for a March 2020 Princess cruise in the Carribean.
Excellent video and explanations!
Glad you liked it!
nice review. So I have the petral on my prism 2 with a Nerd. I also have a perdix that I use on most of my OC dives, spear fishing, etc... I'm on the fence about buying a Teric because the cost and do I really need it other than a back up when I'm not doing CCR diving and you can do the math on how much I've spent on dive computers already. Man I really want one, they are so cool. My opinion shearwater has the best deco mixed gas dive model. Way ahead of the game with deco stops and dive planning.
Great job man friend! Looking forward to the comparison between the Garmin!
Thanks! :)
Love my teric and a good review and your right about the buttons. And it allows me to feel up with my wife’s gas so I don’t need to keep asking her. Great product
ever have issues with loosing connectivity under water?
@@gueroloco6334 no sir I have never had a issue with mine my wife has the same one I do and no issues with hers. It has performed flawlessly for us.
Love the Teric. But your Omega Planet Ocean + tables and a depth gauge would be so stylish and old school!
Great intro and review👌👌👌
Is the bronze actually metal or bronze-colored plastic? Will it patina?
Seriously considering as a future purchase, for now, gotta get more dives in to make it worth the cost.
Thank you as always James, you are a treasure.
This looks very much like a dive computer from top to bottom. Also the menu and customization options look like its built from ground up, including the operating system.
I will likely go for the Teric soon as I dont think someone will gift me a garmin to literally take apart :D
The Garmin smells to much of Android for my gusto and they dont say otherwise. Even though I am not sure, I really don't want the risk of bringing a swiss army knife when I need a real knife.
I dont think that the software Backbone of Android is reliant enough to be feasible in a dive computer. Its just to versatile for the job.
So IF the Garmin WOULD be based on Android it would be a technical KO imho... But im really kinda geeky with that, so take it with a grain of salt & your opinion may vary.
James true romance moment in case of diving equipment xD. Love your Vids. Greetings from DIN Country (Germany)
I have had my Teric snice 3/2020 and love it. But yeah I wish the battery was better, even on lower brightness settings it doesn't change the battery life in any major way. You can any Qi changer btw, I have a skinny flat one that i take with me on trips that works for my phone and my Teric for charging.
Your upcoming Mk2 vs Teric should be interesting. While the Mk2 as you have shown in the past has a bunch of other features mainly none diving features, the sonar transmitter that you showed off for it is got to be a deal breaker lol. Comments on that video should be fun 😁
only use a teric/peregrine charger the others push too much power and kill the battery
Fantastic C.S
Love my Teric and agree 100% with your assessment. My only additional (minor) gripe about the computer is that I have to place the very delicate screen protector on it myself. For what the system costs, it should come with the screen protector installed.
ever have issues with loosing connectivity under water?
Have 2 Perdix computers for tech, trusting shearwater I bought 2 Terics one for the wife, and one for myself. We wear them when we dive together. I LOVE the free floating north arrow you can set for quick navigation and the multi button menus are easier than the perdix, imho, everything I want plus!!
Also use the stop watch and timer features for teaching… great computer for sure. I disagree with James about the watch band attachments, they are tough, rugged and I know they are re going to stay put… many health tracker bands aren’t so dependable?
ever have issues with loosing connectivity under water?
Sweet intro!
Love my Teric! Quite an upgrade from my Galileo Luna.
There are a few things I’d upgrade:
1. I don’t love the Edit Gases in one place and Set Gases in another with a very limited set. I’m constantly editing in one screen then going to set in another.
2. No “Fly Time”. I used to dive high Nitrox mixes and/or shallow to be conservative and I liked to see that conservativism on my screen.
3. Can’t set PPO2 to 1.4 to be conservative or 1.6 when I’m not. Probably silly on my part.
4. Option to use something similar to the stretchy clip-straps they have for their other computers.
5 I wish they would produce a set of short videos on screen navigation and “how to” videos. Or someone would. It’s not intuitive until you’ve done it once imo.
Huge shoutout to the incredible display and flexibility and the awesome functionality of the Teric, and also to the customer service. Way too many things I love to cover in a comment!
2. Surface GF will reflect the conservatism.
3. You can change the PPO2 warnings in the menu.
4. Perdix Straps will work with the Teric you just run them under the pins.
@@Teampegleg thank you!!!
ever have issues with loosing connectivity under water?
I have a Perdix and a Teric. I wear them on the same arm. I like that the Teric is easier to read. I never use it as a watch.
I have multiple straps for my Perdix cut to different lengths. I do wish they would have different length extenders for the Teric.
If you order the watch online do u still get the warranty u spoke about?
OK I've bought the Teric and have been diving with it. Nice in SM. Only one complaint: When putting it in the cradle the watch display switches off after like 20 seconds. Why have even a "Desktop" kind of mode if you can't use it as a "Desk" watch?
Do you have a video that explains the difference between the teric and the tern! Aloha and thank you! ❤️❤️🤙🤙
Brilliant broll best I’ve seen
Interesting, my preferred oc setup is perdix Teric.
Nerd all the way for ccr ;)
in your opinion how does it compare to the Garmin MK2i?
Love the 007 intro😁
Oh and my teric
That was a great intro b roll dude :)
Thanks for your support!
Is that a sola dive light ?
How does it get your air consumption rate. Is it good for Nitrox?
Sadly I knew teric tad too late. Got myself a d5 and instantly regretted it.
Can you talk about their Perdix as well.
Only because you asked. I thought about making a comment, then decided against it because I didn't want to hurt any feelings, then you asked. Since you asked, The b roll intro was well made, artistic, and I can tell a decent amount of effort was put into it. Having said that, it was a waste of time I would have skipped had I known how far ahead to skip to. Please note, it was nice, just not what I'm looking for in a review video. Like when you said if you are interested in this product, we would have likely reviewed specs. Same goes with images. The images that are helpful are things like where you show salt enter and cause problems. High quality good looking pictures can be found on company website already too. When I watch a review of yours, the part I like is when you give your opinion and I learn things not in the marketing materials. Anything else is just a waste of time, even if it is something I'm sure you put lots of effort into and looks really nice. I hope that didn't come off as mean, as that wasn't my intention. Only to be helpful.
On a different note, you said the algorithm is proprietary. It was my impression they used buhlmann zhl-16c. Is that not the case? Is buhlmann zhl-16c proprietary and I just don't know it?
That is for the review. I look forward to the comparison with the Garman.
It seems there's a misconception about the algorithm.
It's not "proprietary" however the original source is in German and has seemingly never been translated. The book is called "Tauchmedizin"
James must be a 007 fan with that intro. Lol
I love mine. As I’m not doing any Tec diving yet it’s over kill but a well featured watch. I haven’t found the free-dive mode yet which I tried to use when snorkeling recently. I Haven’t been able to keep the screen on yet in ‘watch mode’. It’s a bit frustrating. The screen protectors could have been a little bigger and robust.
ever have issues with loosing connectivity under water?
Love mine. Narked at 90 Bungie, (rusting a little) strap. Had a battery issue with transmitter. Shearwater replaced transmitter for free in 2 days.
Ez to use
Ez to see

@@gueroloco6334 with my scuba pro and my shearwater. G2 Bad computer. Shearwater Bad transmitter.
Ok James, now that you finished with the review, you can put back on your wrist the Garmin Mk2i 😅
Good call!
now that is how some B-Roll is done... the set changes, band changes and lighting shifts must have been a pain
Good factual video. And gotta say that I adore the colour of the bezel.
Mine is from 2019 and have to admit it is a lovely computer to own and use.
The charger that comes with it can be a bit fiddly and sometimes takes a try or 2 to connect. But that is not an issue.
I want to add that on the go you have some options with charging.
- do you have a standard wireless phone charger? Good. That works aswell.
- does your car have a wireless charger for your phone built in? Slap the teric on there and you're good to go.
- a small powerbank with for example a single 18650 with the original charger for use on a boat in between dives works great.
- check if your phone has the option to charge another phone wirelessly. If you have that turn it on, put the computer on the back and you're set!.
It's already amazing that the computer is so compact. So having a 2 day battery is barely a downside. I think it's amazing that's even possible.
But as you can see. With given options taking it with you can be even more problem-free fun.
replied to a couple other comments but don’t charge with phone chargers or anything other than the teric/peregrine charger. they push too much power and kill the battery
Were there any issues with loosing connection under water? Not interested in spending over $1000 on a device that I'm going to constantly have to be reaching back to the transmitter to reconnect. Anyone have this issue?
How does it compare to the suunto competition
No comparison at all
I buy one of these but unfortunately the screen has did Bixels , I emailed them for maintenance service and the ask me to send it back and they're fix it for me on warranty.
v good review , perdix AI it is
I've had my Teric for about 3 years now and absolutely love it. I was in Socorro a couple of weeks ago and the dive masters were talking about reliability issues with the Teric. I DID have an issue with my battery, but Shearwater replaced it under warranty and sent it back to me 2nd day air. This has been the only problem I've had with it in 3 years.
As others have said, I typically bring my iphone wireless charger for trips and it allows me to charge both my phone and my watch. It charges very fast so it has never been an issue.
My only complaint I have with it is I would like to be able to set custom alerts for depth like I have been able to set on other watches in the past. Depending on my gas mix, I like to set an alarm to notify me prior to max depth. It comes in handy when you are diving in the blue and find yourself suckered in by one of those evil dolphins or Mantas...
do NOT charge your teric with the phone charger. it pushes too much power into the teric at once and greatly reduces the life of the battery
@@shakuiel9669 My understanding is that the Teric does, in fact, support fast charging.
@@MrDallaskincaid that's a completely different thing. you use quick charge if you're in a pinch and don't have another option, not all the time
@@shakuiel9669 If that is the case something is wrong with the Teric's charging system. The Qi charging standard requires the devices to negotiate.
The strap isn’t that bad, I’ve had a few watches with similar pin system, my Garmin Watch has a nice mount System with a permanent pin on the watch face itself and retractable button on the strap that grabs onto the pins. I haven’t really tested the durability of that system, the replaceable pin seems more robust and repairable to me… but 🤷🏼♂️
Remember it's a safety device and a dive training assistant (assuming you have air integration). Nothing more.
Technically an excellent video with professional video and audio... But the content is mostly fluff without a lot of solid data.
Still think a bigger screen and cheap backup works better. Just hoping someone builds a curved screen for human curved arms. Might we see diver masks with Head up display on demand.
I had a terric that "some how" the screen got cracked. I called them and had a new one with in a week at my door.
The screwdriver isn't proprietary, it is a metric size, like 1.5mm IIRC. I got a couple of nicer ones from Wiha to make strap changes easier as I am the Teric killer, due to killing at least a dozen batteries. Which BTW is yje same screw size as the Swift transmitter.
I also think the factory straps suck. I use Perdix straps. They are ugly but they work. But so are my computers after two years dragging them through rocks in caves.
There are two issues with my Teri. 1. It’s so easy to get scratch. 2. It’s freediving mode is terrible. It makes every descend a separated dive. They should be grouped together. The mobile app is not the best but fine. Others are all good.
Perdix AI FTW though
It looks like a hard pass for me if the straps aren't long enough to go over my dry suit.
Comes with a extension strap in the kit
fyi 10:42 it can be charged to every wirelles charger in the market!! samsung or whatever
Don't leave it on the charger when you don't charge the Teric : it discharches the battery somehow ! (could be why some people have some problems with the battery)
Thanks for sharing!
So i’ve been watching your videos for about 2 years and now I discover I hadn’t subscribed 🤦🏽♂️
Looks like you could possibly use a zulu or nato strap with that watch couldn't you?
Yes, I think Shearwater has a NATO strap but it's came blue and looks shit with the bronze bezel in my opinion.
It is just me or the beguining of the video is a James Bond Dive style intro !!! lol
For those with nearsightedness and uses this computer.....can you see it underwater😂? Trying to decide which Shearwater to purchase. I like the Teric, but Im concerned I will not see the numbers or symbols. Id rather not use the corrective lens for in mask.
I'm farsighted, have my little correction glasses in the mask, and had no problems. Actually, compared to the EON steel that my daughter was wearing, OMG - she showed me something on it under water (and I had used that computer for years) - and I couldn't even read it. Once you're used to the Teric display you won't go back.
@@matthiasnott ; Thank you. The mask I have, has the readers on the bottom. Im exaggerating😂, but its like looking through a microscope from three inches away. I just ordered another mask with readers, to see if I like them better. I also ended up ordering the Shearwater Perdix2 with transmitter. If I happen to dive with someone with a Teric, I'll ask to borrow it and see if it works for me. I could always sell the Perdix2 later.

Too long intro
All is good except for its poor battery life 🫤
