I got my computer about 3 weeks ago from LeisurePro. I made my first dive with it last sunday. We did a shallow dive off a black sand beach in Makena (Maui) and wrapped around the top side of Little Beach. The dive went great. I didn't make it deep enough for my Uwatec Smart Pro Wrist computer to limit my no-deco bottom time. One thing I did notice is that it was a bit sensative on the ascent. This is probably a good thing for me because I'm a bit to quick on my ascents, and the more I read, the more this makes me happy that my computer is looking out for me. Due to the computer being strapped to my wrist, it seemed to alert me more than necessary because I would lift my wrist up and the computer would rise two feet and tell me I was going up to fast, when in fact, my body was staying level or rising at a reasonable rate. But I'm glad it's there to keep me aware. It is much more accurate than looking at your depth gauge and trying to judge your depth between the 20ft and 15ft. tick marks on the dial. Our dive wrapped up and I was told by my computer that I was not to go back up to the peak of haleakala for some time. This warning is especially nice for me as I work at the summit of this 10,000 ft Volcano. I don't know if this feature exists on the Suuntos, but I find it very necessary for someone who frequents high altitudes. If you live in a mountainous area and have to drive up and down some climbs on your way home from a dive, you should really consider this computer as it gives you a picture of a mountain that lets you know how high you can go without risking DCS.
