They are good, basic and essentially the same computer. Work well and easy to use, but they are not nitrox capable, nor do they have a backlight. For many people, this would be okay. I like night diving, and have used the XR-1, it is just inconvenient to have to use a flashlight to read the display, but can be done, and really, how much night diving will you do? The other issue is nitrox, I have a nitrox computer, and took the class, but have never used nitrox.

Additionally, I prefer a wrist mount to a console, but that is mostly personal.

Good luck and good diving.

Danny
