"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
  • Manages up to 3 nitrox mixes per dive
  • User-replaceable CR2450 battery rated for about 300 hours
  • Bluetooth sync to Oceanic's companion app for logs and settings
Cons
  • No digital compass
  • No air integration option on this model
  • Monochrome display only
Diver community sentiment
Mostly positive

Divers generally view the Veo 4.0 as a solid, feature-rich entry-level computer that "over-delivers" for its price point, citing its bright/large display, long battery life on a user-replaceable battery, dual-algorithm flexibility, and three-gas-mix support. On Scubaboard, users report the Bluetooth link to third-party logging software (e.g. Subsurface) generally works, though it requires manual reconfiguration. The most recurring complaint is a firmware/app quirk where the algorithm setting reverts to DSAT unexpectedly, which some suspect is a bug. No major safety-related or reliability complaints turned up; gripes are mostly about software polish and missing higher-end features.

Summarized from public forum discussion (Scubaboard, Reddit, and similar), not a survey we ran ourselves. See the linked threads for the original conversations.

The Veo 4.0 is Oceanic’s slim wrist computer, running the same Dual Algorithm as the Geo Air and Pro Plus lines but in a lower-cost package without air integration or a compass.
