Which brands of wrist dive computer have the easiest and hardest displays to read underwater?

This is a major factor for me in shopping around, but I cannot seem to tell from the online pictures. I have not had chances to see many computers in person (LDS, dive ops) except the GEO and the big honking square one (Nemo wide?).

What are your experiences regarding brands/models that are easy and hard to read. I'm mainly interested in what to avoid. I'm not looking for a dive computer that doubles as a fashionable dry land watch.

TIA.
 
easy to read (and my eyes are in their 60s) :)
Oceanic Veo 250.. similar to the Geo??
 
Liquivision X1 or Galleleo Sol - but bring a loan application with you....



All the best, James
 
Oceanic.......The leave them all far behind (for rec.Dc that is)
 
X2 for Liquidvision. At 46, my eye are at the point I could probably use reading glasses. The X1 eliminates that need, it is amazingly crisp and clear. It is a little pricey :)

The DR Duo and it's clones have decent sized numbers, but some of the little words/symbols were difficult to see. I still use it as my back-up.
