Choosing dive computers & instruments means resolving two decisions first: do you want a console-mounted air-integrated computer or a wrist-watch format, and are you comfortable with a unit that needs work? The four Suunto choices here span a $180.04 listed-price spread, but price is only part of the fit. Condition, named functions, and format create the real split.
Quick take
- Lowest listed price: The used, untested Cobra with compass and case.
- New console choice: The Cobra marked NEW in Box, with clearly described tracking functions.
- Feature-focused Cobra: The new console with RGBM, Nitrox, Gauge modes, and an extra battery.
- Different format: The Stinger wrist-watch computer, which needs a new battery and is marked for parts or not working.

Decision matrix
- Format: The first three choices use console wording; the Stinger is explicitly a wrist-watch computer.
- Compass and case: The first Cobra title names both a compass and a case, giving it a specific navigation-and-storage angle.
- Air and gas information: The Cobra titles name air integration. The NEW in Box Cobra describes tank pressure, depth, time, no-decompression limits, and Nitrox compatibility. The RGBM Cobra describes Air, Nitrox from 21% to 50%, and Gauge modes.
- Power and condition: The first Cobra is Used and Untested. The NEW in Box Cobra describes a user-replaceable battery, while the RGBM Cobra includes an extra battery. The Stinger needs a battery replacement and is marked For parts or not working.
Product notes
Suunto Cobra Air Integrated Scuba Dive Computer Compass Console w/ Case Untested
The Suunto Cobra Air Integrated Scuba Dive Computer Compass Console w/ Case Untested is the clearest fit when the named combination matters: its title identifies air integration, a compass, a console, and a case. At $119.95, it sets the low end of this group's listed-price spread. The trade-off is material: it is marked Used and Untested. That makes it a choice for an experienced diver specifically comfortable with an untested unit, rather than someone seeking a new-in-box console. The Finland origin and Suunto Cobra model wording help identify it, but do not change the condition limitation.
Suunto Cobra Air-Integrated Scuba Dive Computer - NEW in Box - Console
The Suunto Cobra Air-Integrated Scuba Dive Computer - NEW in Box - Console suits a shopper seeking a new console with a broad set of named dive functions. Its description lists air integration, tank-pressure, depth, time, and no-decompression-limit tracking, plus Nitrox compatibility, alarms, a large display, and a user-replaceable battery. The limitation is format: it is explicitly a console-mounted, hose-mounted computer, so it is not the wrist-watch choice in this comparison. At $195.49, it sits $75.54 above the Used and Untested Cobra with compass, while its new condition and original packaging are central reasons to choose it.
Suunto Cobra Dive Computer Air Integrated Console RGBM Nitrox with Extra Battery
Suunto Cobra Dive Computer Air Integrated Console RGBM Nitrox with Extra Battery leans toward a feature-led console setup. The description names RGBM decompression, Air, Nitrox from 21% to 50%, Gauge modes, real-time tank-pressure monitoring, an electroluminescent backlight, audible alarms, altitude adjustment to 10,000 feet, and an extra battery. That combination gives divers a concrete reason to choose it when those named modes and display features matter together. Its limitation is format: the listed configuration is a console system rather than a wrist-watch computer. At $200.00, it is $4.51 above the NEW in Box Cobra, making the extra battery and mode details useful tie-breakers.
SUUNTO Stinger Dive Wrist Watch Computer Needs Battery Accessories
SUUNTO Stinger Dive Wrist Watch Computer Needs Battery Accessories serves a different use case from the Cobra consoles. The wrist-watch wording, along with the included data cable, bands, adapter, and carrying case, makes it suited to a Stinger replacement, collection, or wrist-format setup. Its limitation is decisive: the title says it needs battery accessories, the description says the watch needs a new battery, and the condition is For parts or not working. At $299.99, it is the highest listed price here, so the fit depends on wanting this specific Stinger format and its accessories rather than a computer presented in new condition.
Final recommendation by use case
- Lowest-price route with compass wording: Choose the Suunto Cobra Compass Console if Used and Untested condition is acceptable.
- New console with broad tracking: Choose the Suunto Cobra NEW in Box Console for its named air-integration, pressure, depth, time, and Nitrox functions.
- Extra-battery and mode-focused setup: Choose the Suunto Cobra RGBM Nitrox Console when the extra battery, backlight, and Air, Nitrox, and Gauge modes matter.
- Wrist-watch or collector use: Choose the SUUNTO Stinger only when its wrist format and included accessories fit the job, with the battery replacement and parts-or-not-working condition understood.
