Dive Computer Question Scuba Guys

Getting my first dive computer, dove with a Suunto Zoop a couple of weeks and had no problems. Found a good deal on an Oceanic GEO 2.0. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance...

I like my oceanic veo 250 just fine. Make sure the Geo does nitrox in case you need it.

Also, I personally prefer the wristwatch style so that my computer doesn't get messed up if someone else borrows my regulator.

Oceanic computer s have worked ok for me. Not sure of the model numbers. Suunto has a reputation of being excessively conservative, so I personally avoid them for scuba

Bummer, I guess whatever site I was reading about the specs was wrong. Oh well, still looks very nice.
