Hi gang! Does any one have any experience yet with the Cressi Neon, or is it still too new?

I'm looking for a well-rounded watch that leans towards freediving & apnea features, but can also do air and Nitrox. Ideally I would probably go for the Suunto D5, but I'm trying to stay below $500 USD. Cressi Neon looks neato, but I haven't seen any feedback on it yet. I guess it looks comparable to the GOA, and I frankly, cannot tell what this difference is between the two other than aesthetics.

Any input, or alternative suggestions would be much appreciated!

I just bought one off eBay from a legit dealer for $250. I freedive/spearfish only. It has a apnea mode. Have not dove with it yet but has the right features. Will have to play with it in actual dive mode to figure out the time factors for recoup breathing and such.
1) depth alarm: programmable for depth increments from 3-30m I believe
2) dive time alarm programmable in 10 sec increments.
3) above water alarm you can set some type of ratio of dive time to recoup time. Not a very detailed explanation of the increments. Figure that one out by using it I guess..
4) dive time and depth of course

There is a bunch more but that's the core of freedive settings. Hope to take it Alexander Springs this weekend.

Ill let you know
