I'm looking for a no frills, easy to change the battery, no Nitrox table, simple computer that also has a free diving mode for time and depth. Any recommendations?

It doesn't fit the "easy to replace the battery" part (since it isn't user-replaceable per se), but I've been through a couple of freediving watches, and the D4 is the best one yet.
Devices which include a free diving mode:
Suunto D4, D6, D9, D3, Stinger, Mosquito
Oceanic Geo
Aeries F.10
Cressi Edy
Mares Nemo +NemoWide
Galileo SOL (with Apnea software)
Liquivision X1
However, not all of the above have scuba modes (bottom timer/freediving only: D3, F.10, SOL w/apnea software).
Further, not all have user changeable batteries. If the Oceanic Geo has a user changeable battery, that would probably be the most economical option.
