: Interesting looking watch. I'm sure there is
: some use for the 7 dots if you're a

: The name APNEA is terrible, at least for
: average English speakers. It is a name for a
: sleep disorder. Could APNEA be an acronym
: for some diving term? Gosh, I hope so.

: Diving experts out there.... help us out to
: understand this thing!
