I purchased 2 of these hoseless computers from scubatoys (highly recommend these guys) for my wife and me. Had them tested for about 6 dives at the store then went on a two week dive trip to Indonesia averaging 4 dives per day.
My computer worked flawlessly except for brief (few second) interruptions of transmission and I have been very happy using it. There was another couple on the trip with the similar Aeris Atmos ai which had never given them trouble over the past 2 years.
My wife's computer worked great until her seventh dive when it suddenly put her in violation mode for no apparent reason and then locked up (she was diving right next to me with the same dive profile prior to this). After 24 hours she tried the computer again (using her old setup as the primary computer) and the Atmos Elite worked for about 10 minutes then started reading depths of 2-300 feet and then locked up again.
Scubatoys is replacing the computer immediately (very good service and no hassles) but it does seem that Aeris has a quality control issue that has not yet been fully resolved.
I was initially concerned when buying this computer due to other reports about problems but was reassured (by the Aeris reps at a recent scuba show and the guys at Scubatoys) that this had been worked out. Clearly, Aeris still has some work to do to make sure that the failure rate on equipment that people stake their lives on should be exceedingly rare rather than commonplace.
