Personally, I don't really see the point of the D9. If you're going to spend that much money why not just get a VR3? Then you really know you have something which will cope with any diving you are going to do in the future.

Ice Mike:If you don't need to have air intergration and/or an user replaceable battery, IMO the suunto D6 is a good choice.
It has all the options of the D9, except for the air intergration and three gas mixes (only two with D6).
I believe the actual computer in the D6 is exactly the same computer as in the D9.
So any childhood diseases have been taken care off through the experiences with the D9.
So if you decide to go for a wrist unit, the price differences needs to be compensated by the air intergration and additional gas mix.
