Any feed back on this from anyone??
Yes it does. My question is a little late as I ordered mine the night before. Should have it in hand by the weekend. Going diving in Phuket next week for a couple of days. Pretty pumped about the computer, it being my first.
My only other concern now, is someone mentioned (which I didnt read until I purchased it), that you have to take the dive computer back to the point of sale for warranty work. Is this true? I ordered mine online, plus when my work assignment is done Im moving back to Canada. I would have figured that any Mares distributor would take it in and send it to a technician for you. I didnt buy it here in Thailand as its like double the price you can get it elsewhere.
Hi all, Mares is a worldwide company with a worldwide warranty policy. If you have any warranty issues within the next two years, any authorized Mares dealer can help you. Note: you must have a receipt of purchase, and have purchased the product first hand from an authorized Mares dealer. Warranties do not extend to 2nd hand purchases ie: used. So, you will not have to take it / send it back to the place of original purchase, unless it was a non Mares dealer. Let's look at the positive side and assume / hope you don't have to send it to anyone! 
Hope you enjoy!

I just purchased an ICON HD. I can not get it to be recognized on my computer. I have the new organizer downloaded. I have also tried to download the software upgrade. It is in a file extention that my computer does not recognize (.enc) Any help?

Just wondering if you can set an audible alarm when you hit a depth that you set? It's a feature my brother inlaw has on his dive computer I thought was cool.
Oh, and what do you do with the excess strap? Just let it dangle?

Ok, so I had my Icon out for the first time in Phuket for 3 dives. I was pretty happy with it over all, my only concern is the computer seemed to sort of reset its self before my 3rd dive. I didnt realize it. For the first 2 dives I would turn it on right before or during suiting up. I would jump into the water and make sure its still on the right setting before my descent. Before the 3rd dive I turned it to the dive mode before I suited up, got suited up, and jumped in. Before I descended I checked the computer and it was on the desat screen, so I just switched it to the dive mode and descended. When I returned to the surface and got out, I went to fill out my dive log. Thats when I noticed that something funny happened. The date had changed from Nov 18th to Nov 16th and the time had jumped by 6 hours. So I guess it didnt reset itself completely, but it thru off the date and time. So I had no way of knowing if the desat time and no fly time was accurate. My computer was showing 13hrs for desat and no fly, but my brother inlaws was showing 16hrs and our dives were pretty much the same. So I have no idea what happened or whether how accurate the desat time was, if that was reset or not.
The other thing we noticed, and I have read on here somewhere was the temp was out between the Icon and my inlaws computer by 3 degrees underwater. The surface temp was the same as one anothers. But I was wondering, depending on where the sensor is, maybe its detecting my body heat a little bit or something? And we only check one anothers computers.
