I have the hyperAquland and love it. I wear it every day and use it as a backup to my computer on every dive. It is also much easier to get the log information from the watch than my computer. Very easy to download the dive profiles from the watch to you pc as wel..AtlanticDiver:
Got mine for Christmas. It goes on every dive. Only problem is the band is not long enough to fit over my 7mm so it gets hung on my BC inflator hose. Not much use there except for a logging device.AtlanticDiver:
You can make an extension for the band easy enough, but since I won my second computer at a treasure hunt, I don't need to be able to read the watch as a backup.
My wife has one, The ascent alarm isn't buffered. Every time she moves her arm to quickly the alarm goes off.

i have had mine for several months and it is far easier to get the dive info off it than the puter. the last dive i did the damn watch went off all the time. just ordered one for the wife so she will have her own.Tavi:

Agree on the alarm.....tuchy sob but I love the watch. It is always within a minute and a foot of my dive computer. As stated before very easy to down load.
I have a question... why do some of you use it as a back up??? would it be good enough for the only device to have, for someone like me who is just starting out and maybe only diving a couple of times a year? I was really looking into purchasing this watch, cant beat the price, and it seems to do alot?
thanks

To put it simply, that is the exact reason my wife bought me mine and I used it continuously as just that, my primary dive computer. Works fine. Just doesn't have all the capabilities of a regular dive computer.Flood:
Does a great job of telling you how deep you are, how long you've been down, telling you it's time to ascend, what the water temp is, and to slow down when ascending to fast. You just have to watch it just like any other computer.
You should still use your tables to determine your basic profile for the dive during planning, as always.

It is more difficult to read and do's not have the decompression facility, if funds are limited I would get the computer first and the watch later.

I have been diving with mine for awhile and its an awesome watch.. If you are doing more then 2 dives perday I would highly recommend a computer. I am in the process of buying a computer but I highly recommend to learn the tables inside and out first. I know alot of people with a computer that could not use a table if they had to..
