Oceanic Veo vs. Veo 100 vs. Veo 180

[n733lk]

OK, now I'm thoroughly confused!

The Veo 180 appears to have more functions than the Veo 100, including downloadability, but tends to retail for less money????

I'm not really sure where the Veo fits in????

How do these compare? Which is the best value for the money?

Thanks.

180 is/has been(for a while) DC'ed...& it is a better one than the 100....

I have used the 180 for almost 4 years now---& it works, lol....

The VEO 180 is discontinued, has been for well over a year. While it is a nice computer (I have 2), it should be sold at a discount. I still consider it a good computer for the money.

The download capability though is poor (expensive cable and not as detailed info as other computers on the market). This is probably the most significant weakness of the product.

What about the Veo 1.0????

Or the Veo 2.0 which I use and like a lot. Can you download the 1.0?

1.0 has no download capability

I can get the 180 or the 1.0 for the same price.

Which to purchase, and why?

That depends on what you want in a dive computer. The 180 does give you more functionality albeit in an older package (which there's nothing wrong with) For example if you want the ability to download, clearly the 1.0 won't work.

I believe the 1.0 allows you to choose DSAT or Buhlman if you want options.

The 180 does not, but the graph is color coded to green / yellow / red if that helps you.

I have the 1.0 and it's a nice basic computer. It does nitrox and I don't see the need to upgrade (for me).
