Suunto Gekko problem

[freebirds77]

I bought a Gekko console mount second hand and found out that the depth does not read at all on it. It only has 37 dives on the history and best I can tell it looks like it read al dives correct up until now. It is outside the warrenty period and one of the service centers I have contacted said it may be unrepairable. Has anyone had this problem with their Gekko? Thanks.

My Gekko was flawless for the year I used it.
Did you take the battery out and leave it overnight...then pop it back in? The service centers are right...they are pretty cheap to replace.

Good luck,

Maybe you should contact sununto directly and see what they can do.

We have 2 Gekkos and a Vyper (essentially the same) with more than 2000 total dives, which have never given us a minutes trouble. But, there have been reports of these and several other Suunto models with bad depth sensors. Probably your best option is to contact Suunto. I regularly see used wrist mount Gekkos selling on ebay for more than $200. This has always amazed me, because the current Leisurepro price for a new wrist mount Gekko is about $225.
