I believe the bidirectional functionality was to make it easier to time and reset navigational waypoints while underwater. That’s also why the original FXD has a countdown bezel.
I fully understand the purpose of a unidirectional count-up bezel on a divers watch, I just didn’t understand why they had changed to that more conventional design on this new version, when that was part of the FXD’s raison d’etre. But then I read the marketing guff about US military spec divers watches and it makes sense.
