I found a great offer on the Suunto Gekko, for £125. I was about to order it, when I noticed the clearance section had some Uwatec Aladin Tec at half price! After a bit of bargaining, I can now get the Tec for £160!
Only problem is, I am bit confused and not sure which one I should go for.
What I like about the Gekko is its simplicity, easy to read display, safe conservativeness, lack of backlight (!, I think it's more than compensated by a great phosphorescent display)
What I like about the Tec is the gauge mode, accurate to seconds for freediving, supposedly calibrated for saltwater (as opposed to the suunto calibrated for fresh water), safe adjustable conservativeness, more advanced settings which I do not need know, but might in the future.
What I dislike about the gekko: no gauge mode
What I dislike about the tek: possibly a less well layout display
What should I do?
