Which computer is the easiest to use?
(wrist or console), (low to moderate price)
This will be my forst computer and I'm just not very good with electronics

More features = more complexity. More features = higher priced. A Zoop is pretty simple.
 
I have a Sherwood Profile. It was reasonably priced and VERY easy to use.

The easiest computer to use is the one you're familiar with.
Go visit your LDS and see what they have to offer.
A few things to consider, are you planning on diving Nitorx, then make sure the computer supports Nitrox. Do you want to downlaod your dive profiles to a computer?
Is the battery customer replaceable?
I prefer a wrist mount to console, but that's a personal choice.
Just remember, the more bells and whistles the higher the $$$

Cheers,
 
In terms of menu simplicity and buttons - I'd recommend the Apeks Quantum.

Check out the Subgear XP10 ( formaly known as the Uwatec Prime) super easy to use and about the best price youll find on a computer for the features.

The link below has a write up on the xp10

Aeris atmos ai is simple to use. I think leisure pro has them on sale for $425 if you call them.
