Well when I bought their gear they used to have a lifetime warranty, now I think it is 2 years or so. They actually replaced my 11 year old compass but I did have to produce the documentation. Sometimes it pays to never throw anything away.
 
My only complain about the atom 1.0 so far from looking at the spec is that the pressure guage readout is not on the main display so whenever you want to check your air, you have to press a button, really annoying and poorly thoughtout, I think.
All the important and major info should be on the main display, I believe.

That's the way the documentation looks, I'll grant you, but none of us really know how the finished product will behave.

It's hard for me to believe that it doesn't go into some dive mode and show the pressure, or that there isn't some way to set it up so that pressure is on the front screen when you are diving. I simply can't imagine a $600 AI computer (without the transmitter) having the behavior that the Oceanic product catalog seems to indicate.
