I have one. It's my 3rd. 1st replaced under warranty. 2nd NOT replaced under warranty but they gave me that pathetic 20% price break. It was less than a year old but they insisted the warranty started with the first purchase. This one has gone on for years, BUT buttons don't work worth a damn anymore. Have to program Nitrox with the computer interface, which works fine. (Yeah, I've soaked the hell out of it and worked the buttons a LOT.) As a dive computer it works fine.

My wife's croaked right beyond warranty. Did not replace it. She went to a Suunto Vyper Air, which we also would not buy again. It's reliable but too conservative. The PC program DM5 has lots of issues.

Would not buy again.
Never given an option to upgrade to 3G.

I've had about 7 of them... (bought one, got 4 replaced by warranties and good consumer laws in Norway) After the 5th, I got an Aladdin Square. Didn't like it, so sold it.
Heard it was the buttons that bricked them. Bought a used _OLD_ 2G that just works.
So... 2gs with circular buttons got bricked, the old one with kidney shaped buttons works just fine.
