"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
  • Transflective display stays readable in bright sun without a constantly-on backlight, saving battery
  • Up to 30 hours of runtime per charge
  • Displays CCR sensor data, buddy information, DPV and light status when paired with other Symbios devices
Cons
  • Price varies by finish/tier ($900-$1,195 depending on color and configuration)
  • Requires a Halcyon Tank POD for tank pressure display
  • Ecosystem-dependent, full feature set needs other Symbios-paired hardware

The Symbios Handset is the wrist-style computer in Halcyon’s modular Symbios system, built for technical and CCR divers who want a sunlight-readable display that can also surface tank pressure, buddy status, and CCR sensor data when paired with the rest of the ecosystem.
