I was deciding between these 2 as well. I ended up with the VEO250 because of the larger face area. I also liked the 2 buttons for simplicity over the 4 the Geo has. The 2 computers seemed very similar, and I liked the watch functions of the GEO, but it wasn't enough to sway my decision. I think in this case it's really preference. I liked the idea of looking at my wrist and having everything nice and big right there. I'm pretty sure you can't go wrong with either of these computers.

So I am looking at these same computers too. You guys are making it very hard to choose. I like the size of the Geo. I have a very small wrist and I think it would not be too bulky. But ,the Veo seems like it might be easier to use and to see underwater. Is the Geo easy to read under water?

The Veo computer can be worn on the wrist as well. They just aren't as "compact" as the Geo would be.

They will all compensate for altitude. If you are at a high altitude, the algorithm needs to change to make it more conservative as there is less pressure on you when you get out of the water. What the conservative mode does, is if you are at sea level, you can basically lie to it and say you are in denver, so then it makes it more conservative. So if you then go dive in denver, it will say you are diving on top of a mountain above denver.

Make sense??

I went with the Geo because of size considerations.
