The Apeks seems to do the job but the Uwatec 2G seems to be a turkey. Mine had it's buttons pack up after about a week and then died completely a few months later. The most expensive bottom timer I have ever bought at £250.

If you think that there is any possibility of progressing through nitrox to trimix and then onto CCR then the Shearwater might be worth looking at. You just buy a different unlock code as and when the application changes so the entry level isn't silly money whilst being more expensive than the recreational nitrox computers. It uses GF so you can easily customise the algorithm to suit your style, it will monitor 3 cells when used for CCR, user changeable battery and a lovely clear display. All round better than the VR£ IMO.

Alternatively just cut tables and buy a couple of decent BT's.
