Why would your buddy need to read your pressure gauge? I've got a lot of dives and never needed anyone to read my pressure gauge for me...
We constantly check each other's pressure. That's part of being a team of divers...knowing what is available amongst the team. Usually my buddies don't even know I've checked their pressure, because I can just look over at their gauge if I'm in the right position.
I would hope that the benefits of being able to read a teammate's depth gauge/timer are obvious in the event of a failure.
The HUD basically requires you to bring backup gauges since the wireless can fail and, in the event that you have a mask failure, you would also lose your gauges.
