Hi,
I've just got my D6 and am chuffed to bits with it. I had a prototype to play with for a couple of months, but this is the genuine article.
It is a slightly smaller, slimmer version of the 'bling bling' D9 better for everyday use, which is how I wear it (it is replacing my four-year-old Stinger) but it only has two gases instead of three, no air-integration and it is only depth-rated to 150m (think D9 is 190m or 200m).
For what I want out of a watch-style computer, it is perfect. It also has a better strap and buckle than the D9, and comes with a plastic protective cover and an extender strap for over a drybag.
In the UK it is going to retail for £470, and they are going to be in short supply to start with, so I wouldn't imagine any mega deals on it immediately.
Very nifty piece of kit, though

How does it compare size-wise to a Stinger?

The D6 is about the same size as the Stinger, if not a tiny bit thinner. The major difference is the width of the strap, which is wider than the watch-style one on the Stinger. Main thing for me is the fact it is, like the Stinger, quite subtle and less in your face than a D9.

Sounds sweet I can't wait to get them in over here on Okinawa...
Just for curiousity, is the D6 a replacement for the Stinger? There was this big price cuts (by as much as USD 250) on the Stinger in the local market for a month. I was guessing that something new is coming out..........................
