One of my dive buddies is offering to sell me an almost new Suunto Gekko for $160. Is this a good deal and does anybody have any thoughts on the Gekko in general. This is my first dive computer purchase and I am going to get a wrist mount. I am also looking at the Oceanic Veo100, the Cressi Archimedes, Genesis Resource, Aeris XR1, and Mares M2 all used or heavily discounted. I think that Nitrox would be nice but there aren't really any convenient places to get EAN fills around where I live/dive and so getting a nitrox cert is likely a few years off. I really like the DSS bungied mounts you can get for the Gekko and Archimedes and their bigger screens so that is in their favor over the other cheaper puck style computers but I have rented a Veo100 a few times and liked it. Anyway, any advice would be appreciated.
