Mike here speaking... Not a big fan or wrist slates. I find wetnotes and slates as useful communication tools. Sometimes just a quick short note can avoid a lot of underwater confusion. Wrist slates are super hard to share what you wrote with someone else. Wrist slates also take up a lot of real estate on your arm (typically left arm - since most folks are right handed) and that bugs me too. Ultimately I prefer wetnotes, easy to stow, easy to use for both communication and having already made lists, plans or checklists. This slate is basically a wet notes light with cleanable pages. I think the typical sport diver with a pocket to stow this will find it handy.
How would something like this compare to a wrist slate or wet notes? What applications would you recommend each for?
