Can you explain further:
- What are the cost you have seen that make the DG03 cheaper?
- how do you assess the quality to be higher?
- what features does the DG03 have that make it more useful if you should get into slightly more advanced diving later?

It is always good to back such statements with some fact, then we can all see if that is a reasonable judgement.

I wrote cheap, not cheaper. It's around 200 € right now, which is alright, and within the price range of the OP. Main draw for me would be the ability to switch between three gases up to 100% O2 during the dive, which my Puck can't do. As for quality, it seems to get consistently good reviews.

But again, I think OP will be happy with almost any entry level dive computer.

Yeah, because chicks dig guys wearing cheap, black, plastic, digital watches.

If you're diving... you don't care what you look like.
If you're not diving... you don't need a dive computer.

could you use a free diving watch that has every normal feature that a comp has? it is the Amazon.com: Pyle Waterproof Underwater Snorkeling & Diving Multi-Function Water Sport Wrist Watch with Dive Mode, Chronograph, Stopwatch, Water Temperature, Dive Depth & Duration, Green: Sports & Outdoors .

This one does not show your no decompression limits, nor does it track your nitrogen levels during the surface interval. You could only use it together with dive tables. I think you would be best off with a dive computer, unless you plan to dive by tables.

Damn it! Just when I thought I had decided on a DC (Petrel), and I see this. I can't unsee it now.

Interesting...looks like SW might have some competition. That GPS thing looks interesting for long range open ocean scootering...
