I would recommend the SUUNTO Vyper. It's low profile, based on
an RGBM algoritm, nitrox ready and you can replace the battery
yourself. 

If you're serious about diving, and perhaps later stary into
the world of techdiving, you'll want to go back to those
"stupid tables", you'll make your own on the PC, and your
computer might start to beep and make all sorts of annoying
sounds as you surface before IT is finished with it's deco. At
that point in time, you'll want to get a bottomtimer; Guess
what? Your Vyper will serve this purpose aswell, and it'll
work to a depth of 150 meters, and you can still download the
profile into your PC.

If you want to save yourself some money, I'd consider the
Vyper if I were you.
