"Gas switches" is how many different mixes this computer can be programmed to switch between mid-dive, mostly relevant for technical/staged-decompression diving. It doesn't tell you which gas types (air, nitrox, trimix) are supported. See Gas types and the product description above for that.

Pros

Best-in-class sunlight-readable display for the price
Simple, uncluttered interface, easy for divers new to computers with real dive planning
Shearwater's Bluetooth desktop/mobile app for logs and firmware updates

Cons

No built-in digital compass
Single gas only, no multi-gas switching for tec or staged decompression
No wireless air integration on the base model (see Peregrine TX for that)

The Peregrine is Shearwater’s answer to “I want a real dive computer, not a toy, but I’m not doing decompression dives.” It borrows the same display and firmware lineage as the Perdix, stripped down to a single-gas recreational computer.
