Aladin TEC G2 - reset average depth?

I've heard various reports that the new G2 Aladin TEC lets you reset the average depth indicator in water - ie. when you reach the 'bottom' phase of your dive. Anyone who's actually seen one or got an authoritive answer care to confirm this? I was under the impression that this function still hadn't been incorporated into the G2 and was probably going to make it into the next generation but if this is true then I'm buying one!

[UPDATE] - Well, I've just got off the phone with Scubapro and they tell me that the G2 *does* do this. I would, however, still like independant confirmation from someone who's actually seen and used one... if this is true then my order is in!

I'd be interested to hear the answer to this one as well as it will make one quite tempting.

Brian at Aquanauts who is an agent for them and has now got one and used it - confirms that it does indeed have a resettable average depth and a minutes and seconds stopwatch. Oh dear oh dear oh dear......

I think you'll find the etiquette thing to do is to offer him a foxturd for it :-)

Nah, you can make up for the lack of skills with fancy kit
In fact, couldn't you let it sort out the deco for you as well to save even more faffing around
