Cressi Raffaello Wrist Computer

Raffaello earns its place for divers who want a large screen, a compass and Freedive mode without moving to Da Vinci's colour four-gas platform. It gives recreational and progressing divers clear information across scuba and breath-hold use, with more gas flexibility than Cressi's simpler models provide.

Raffaello supports Air, Nitrox, Gauge and Freedive modes. For appropriately trained Nitrox divers, it can manage up to three gas mixes during a dive, leaving room to plan gas changes beyond a basic single-mix profile. Adjustable oxygen partial-pressure settings and decompression information support deliberate dive planning, while the Cressi RGBM model accounts for repetitive and multi-day diving within the computer's operating framework.

Underwater, the large high-resolution display keeps essential values distinct and readable. That is a practical advantage for divers who prefer an information-led screen over a smaller watch presentation, especially when monitoring depth, no-decompression status, ascent information or gas settings. Audible and visual alarms reinforce important warnings, and selectable decompression presentation allows the diver to review obligations in the supported display format.

For divers who prefer not to add a separate wrist compass, the integrated digital compass places heading information alongside the main dive data. Two physical controls move through menus and settings, while a combined button action provides access to compass information during the dive. The arrangement keeps navigation in the primary computer without moving to Cressi's colour-screen four-gas platform.

Raffaello is often the right balance when a large display, integrated compass, Freedive mode and three-gas Nitrox support matter together. Da Vinci adds a colour TFT screen, four-gas capability and a specifically governed Bühlmann ZHL-16C implementation, making it the stronger choice for more involved open-circuit planning. Neon is smaller and easier to wear as a watch, but its display and two-gas support are more limited. Donatello offers four activity modes with simpler recreational operation and no integrated compass.
