The backlite is cool. Screen is clear when viewed straight on (more or less). At extreme angles it not so great, but LCDs never are. Anyway, i'm practically audible dependent so who cares about the screen! ;-)
The real time jump replay is great. You basically hit play after the jump and you see the seconds tick on the top row and speed (or height) on the bottom row. Means you could try different positions (say for wingsuit) in each quarter of the skydive and be able to compare them without a laptop afterwards. Likewise, speed built up vs. time during a swoop is easy to see. Data logging seems perfectly adequate. Nope, there is no PC link...but it never claimed to have one either.
The supplied wrist strap is sh*te. On the first jump the seam/stitches split 75% across. As in i nearly lost it on its first jump. Two lines of stitches and all's well no - but it's a shame regardless.

If you want/need one, it's a good bit of gear.
