Quick replacement
Rated by: robertogozzi (more about me) on 2009-11-03 06:22:32 (user reviews) Review ID:2256

Pros: It does well what it is made for, correct, clear, good support
Cons: none, so far

Last September I bought two of them, but a few days later I discovered that one was not performing well and it was difficult to close the battery slot. I wrote L&B about that and they asked me to ship to their office. In just a week I got a new one back, working perfectly. I was using a Pro-Track before I lost it in freefall, I am still using it satisfactorily and I will keep using it in the future. Thanks guys, it's powerful!

Would not jump without one..
Rated by: CJCivie (more about me) on 2008-08-26 04:46:33 (user reviews) Review ID:2048

Pros: Customer Service,reliable,Customer Service,Customer Service
Cons: none

These guys are in Denmark, and their response time is about 4 days. I do AFF, Video and 4way. For the first 2 I cannot afford an instrument mal. I have been on an AFF where the other instructors visual altimeter failed (another popular brand). I can set custom warning levels depending on what kind of dive I am doing. a great feature. It's a great product, just ordered an optima.

Wish i still had my Skytronic GFX...
Rated by: hurrikanejae (more about me) on 2008-01-29 17:13:55 (user reviews) Review ID:1930

Pros: Loud, Accurate, Great for speed comparisons, Easily mountable with clip included.
Cons: Programming, Buttons, Turns off too fast, No canopy warnings

Just got my pro-track that i just "HAD" to buy so i could "upgrade" from my gfx and have a way to mount on the outside of my helmet. Unfortunatley what i got was a smaller but less user friendly device than i had really wanted to deal with. the initial programming you do for setting up any new audible/computer was impossible without the instructions and the device shut itself off at least 10 times while setting things up. after the intial shock of "clunky user interface", i was happy to know it beeped at 1k feet to confirm it's on and remind me to take off my seatbelt. the warnings are loud and distinct and always on time even on the outside of my hurricane helmet. the other major reason why i miss the skytronic gfx is because this audible does not have any canopy warning sirens. this is a major turn off when you are comfortable with at least 1 siren telling you not to turn or manuever below a chosen altitude. overall, i would say if you have to go with an outside mount, the purchase is a must...if not go with the gfx or neptune..both are more bang for your buck.
