Thanks

I've had one for years and absolutely love it. As an instructor for a different dive shop than when I bought the Galileo, I've bought 2 other computers and neither measure up but it is what the shop sells.

Thank you, is it more on the conservative side? do you use the transmitter that comes with it? How is the computer interface?

.....is it more on the conservative side? ....

Conservatism is user programmable

...do you use the transmitter that comes with it? ....

Yes. Every time. Never failed to me.

..... How is the computer interface?

User can select 3 different UIs.
You can see the Galileo Sol in action in our Galileo Sol online class and / or our simulators.

While there's nothing wrong with it as a DC -- 10-15 years ago its technology would have been cutting-edge -- there's also nothing special about it. If you're going to get one, consider just how much it'll cost and compare it to what you could buy with or close to that same amount of money from a company like Liquivision, Mares, Shearwater, or Atomic. If you can get one for $500 or less, maybe it's a nice balance between something like a Petrel or a Xeo and something like a DG03.

I've had one as well and it's still one of the best AI wrist computers. There is a new one, the Aeris A300 CS OLED that may be better because of the display but it does not have the track record of the Galileo. Still if I were in the market for an AI computer I'd look at the Aeris.

Have one, love it and use it all the time

 

[Sensei]

Which one do you have bumcikaz, Aeris or Sol?

I was diving a Sol until a couple of months ago. GREAT computer. Air integration and heart monitor gives you lots of data about your dive. It is easy to use, very configurable and it was error free for me.
I switched to a Shearwater Petrel only because at the age of 56, I found that I could no longer clearly see the Sol's display in low viz dives.
