I would hope by the time people are trying to swoop ponds they are not seeking altimeter advice from an Internet forum :rofl:

Whether it is an AAD, camera, altimeter or whatever, I appreciate knowing if it is not reliably water resistant as claimed by the mfg.

A lot of DZs tend to be 'manufacturer loyal'. The gear shop is a dealer for one or two brands, gets a discount on it, passes much of that on to the local jumpers with a 'staff discount' and/or 'regular jumper discount'.
So there are 'more than a few' jumpers who have limited (or no) personal experience with other brands.

Coming on here and asking a wider 'experience pool' for actual, real world information is not unreasonable.
