When I started diving, roughly 8 years ago, I bought an Oceanic Geo 2.0, and thought it would be, "good enough," until the industry got its act together and came out with a better computer at a reasonable price.
The Geo shows depth and time to NDL and supports nitrox, so in that sense, it is "good enough." I like it because it's small, streamlined, and doesn't draw attention to itself. The disadvantages are legion. Display is hard to read, UI is difficult to use, needs a new coin battery every year, clock doesn't keep very good time.
Has the market settled down and produced a good computer yet? User-replaceable battery (I hate disposable gear), good display, easy to use, no larger than necessary, cheap?
