Suunto
Retractor for Suunto Wrist Computer

I recently purchased this product and not being the most technical person was slightly worried about my ability to put it together. After the build anticipation I opened the container and to my surprise it contained easy to follow instructions with pictures!! After a struggle to remove the strap the rest was really easy to follow and a straight forward process. I used the product last weekend in appalling conditions and found that it worked well. I wish I had found it years ago. I converted a Suunto Vyper. I am now a happy diver.

I bought this with a Suunto Vyper Novo after I watched the video on simplyscuba. and the blurb says that it was suitable for Zoop and Vyper models.

Now, I can't comment on the Zoop, but I can for sure say that this piece of kit is NOT suitable for use with a Vyper Novo.

There is a slight curve on the back of the computer, that makes it impossible to straighten the red plastic strap enough to allow it to be screwed to the retractor unit. I would imagine that it would be possible to force the issue, but I doubt very much that the red plastic tab would last very long before it split at the place where it is screwed into the unit.

Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to return it, as I travel a lot and packed both the computer ( after checking that it was working) and the retractor with the intention of fitting it at a later, less busy, date.

It won't break the bank, and I'm not complaining. My own fault for not checking before throwing it in my case.

I just wanted to let people know that it doesn't work for the Vyper Novo, at least.

It might be worth Simply Scuba doing a check to see what it will work with and what it won't, so as to be able to offer accurate advice to customers.

A useful piece of kit. Keeps your computer close to you and leaves your wrist clutter free.

Great little product I wish we would get in the US.

Great piece of kit and really useful to keep your computer out of the way.
