I bought two at the dive show last October - one for me and one for my wife.

The first one failed after about 10 dives (buttons stopped working). I sent it back and Apeks did a good turn around and admitted that the manufacturer had identified problems. I have not dived the new one yet as I started diving my wife's.

Well yesterday I was out diving the May Island in the Forth (Drift followed by Wreck) and when I got home the second computer has packed in. Not the same symptoms as the last one. I guess it will be getting returned.

Although I think they are good value for money, I am very disappointed that they have failed - one is perhaps acceptable, two is just pish! I also now will always have a nagging doubt in my head about its reliability. I dive with two computers (apeks Quantum and Aladin Nitrox Pro - the Aladin has not failed in over 500+ dives!) so more of an inconvenience, but I cant ever see myself taking a Quantum on say a weeks livaboard and having to rely on it to perform - just no confidence.

I will be sending the unit back to Apeks tomorrow and I am sure they will turn it around pretty fast, but at my expense and inconvenience.

If these were Apeks Regulators then nobody would be buying them anymore!

Just my experiences!
