I have one, I do not like the one and two second button pushing, I find it hard to remember how to set things like Nx on trips when I do not have the cheat card.
other than that, I changed the battery recently and had no problems to 130ft. I like the clip on download cable and the software is acceptable.
It would be nice to be able to tell it that I am not diving and to not record dives because when I free dive I get a bunch of one and two minute dives. I put it on before getting on the plane and then take it off when I get home.
It has plenty of memory, I had about 120 dives on it before it started deleting old dives.
all in all I think it is an acceptable watch, except for the complicated menu and button sequence. My Temp sensor is a few degrees lower than everyone else's but otherwise useful information presented in a reasonable way.

SailNaked you should put it in free dive mode or turn the water activation off during free dives.
