"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

Full-color AMOLED display with watch-face customization for everyday wear
Air integration across two separate tanks/transmitters at once
CCR bailout support alongside open-circuit tech modes

Cons

Premium price close to the AA-battery Perdix, without the swap-anywhere battery
Rechargeable-only, no field-swappable battery
Smaller case than the Petrel/Perdix makes touch/button targets tighter

Diver community sentiment

Mostly positive

Long-time Scubaboard discussion consistently rates the Teric as one of the best wrist-style dive computers available, praising its bright AMOLED display, solid build, intuitive interface with floating digital compass, Bluetooth sync, and Shearwater's responsive customer service. The most recurring complaint by far is battery degradation: some owners report normal drain rates, but a vocal minority describe rapid capacity loss or abnormal nightly drain after roughly 1-2 years, sometimes persisting even after an official battery replacement, requiring repeated trips back to service. Secondary gripes include a clunky companion app, vibration alerts going unnoticed under thick suits, and the premium price.

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

The Teric packs most of the Perdix’s technical feature set (multi-gas, CCR bailout, gradient-factor Bühlmann) into a smaller watch-style case with a sharper AMOLED screen, at the cost of a swappable AA battery.
