Or a Gekko for under £150, or a second hand computer for a lot less off ebay...
My backup device is an old Suunto Favor air computer, which I bought for £50 about 4 years ago. It provides useful deco information if I'm (rarely) diving on air, or with a buddy who's using air while I'm on nitrox (sometimes happens). On nitrox dives, I bend it every time BUT it still gives me ascent rate, depth and time information - just like a d-timer. If you do use an old computer like that, make sure it's one that won't start beeping when you bend it!
