suunto gekko vs aeris atmos 2?

[Bruce3]

So what I'm getting from this discussion is that besides the formula used, one being more conservative than the other, there is no real difference. Both are good computers and will do about the same fundtions. Am I correct? If so then it just depends on price and availability.

I'll make my decision for tomorrow when I plan to buy one.


Thanks,

Mark

I bought an Atmos 2 because the price was right AND it has a backlit screen. You have to shine a light on the Gekko.

When I bought my Gekko, this just didn't seem like a concern. In cases where I would need a backlight, I'm already using my dive light. It's MUCH easier to shine my dive light at my computer than to hit the tiny button for a backlight. Also, once I've shined by dive light at the Gekko, it remains lit for 15 minutes (i.e. no more pushing of buttons). Seems a better solution IMO.

Made my choice and bought the Atmos 2 from Scubatoys. However I could have gone for the same from another store for slightly less $.
