My only issue with Suunto computers is that both of the ones I've owned (Favor and Vytec) have developed pressure sensor issues.
My Vytec did as well. The new Vyper Air has a five year warranty, though, as opposed to the 2 years for the older models like the Vytec.
The thing I love about my Vytec is that it has a resettable stopwatch that displays seconds. Come up to your 21m stop, reset to zero and then it's easy to do your 3m/min ascent from there. Love it.
Wish that the Vytec had an average depth display, though.
I've recently bought an OSTC as an experiment - not got it in the water yet (in fact my cruel, evil wife is holding the box ransom until Friday so I can't even play with it on land) but it does have an average depth display. It's also an uber-bright OLED display, large (6cm screen) like the Sol. What I don't think it has is a resettable stopwatch - but then the nice thing about the OSTC is that the model is entirely open source so potentially at some stage I will sit down and go through the source code and write that functionality for it.
An OSTC is probably not for everyone, but I can't wait to take mine for a spin and see how it goes.
Yes, a depth pressure gauge which does not function propertly would be a concern...:shocked2:
Mine was really obvious when it went wrong.... it was reading 9m on the surface before the dive.
If it went on the dive, you'd always have your team double checking the deco schedule and voting logic would apply. So for me it's more of "what is the service like to get this fixed" issue.
