What are the physical dimensions and weight of the Teric Color?

You should measure your wrist circumference to ensure the included nylon wrist strap fits your arm before ordering.

The 40 gram Teric Color weight and compact wrist-watch design

The 40 gram weight includes the housing and internal components, which helps you gauge how the device sits on your arm during a long excursion. For example, a diver performing a deep Nitrox Trimix decompression dive needs a stable profile that does not shift as they move. While the facts do not state the specific thickness of the casing, a compact wrist-watch form factor generally ensures the buttons remain accessible even when wearing thick neoprene gloves. We selected the Teric Color for our comparison because it represents a high-end option for divers requiring complex algorithms like the Bhlmann ZHL-16c.

What to Check Before Buying the Shearwater Research Teric Color

Because a dive computer must remain secure and accessible under pressure, verify these physical details before purchasing:

You can find out if the Teric Color supports wireless tank pressure transmitters in our detailed buyer’s guide.

• Confirm the nylon wrist strap length accommodates your specific wrist size.
• Verify that the 5 x 4.5 x 3.25 inch dimensions clear any other gear you wear on your arm.
• Ensure the button layout provides enough clearance for your preferred glove thickness.
• Check if you require additional hardware, as the list does not specify included mounting brackets.

Understanding the Teric Color Form Factor

The Teric Color is a wrist-mounted computer that displays depth and gas limits on a screen, serving as a primary dive computer. For buyers who prioritize a compact profile, this unit is a strong choice, but those who prefer a larger, more visible display or a different mounting style might look at alternative dive computers. If you need a device that sits flush against the skin for maximum visibility, the 55mm case diameter standard in this category helps define the typical footprint you can expect.

Beginners should also consider the best entry-level freediving computer for their first underwater experiences.

If you need a high-performance dive computer that balances a lightweight 40 gram profile with advanced decompression features, the Teric Color is the right choice for your setup.
