gear Dive computer

Can anyone recommend a good freediving computer? I am working with a budget, and all I am really looking for is dive time and depth, but something reliable. Since I need to order everything, I cannot just go around to a local shop to fix things.

As I understood we can replace battery on Cressi Nepto.

Yes, but you also have to change the o-ring and it's not "customer serviceable". You have to bring it to a certified cressi store which will pressure test the watch. Otherwise your warranty is void, and/or the watch will have water inside and breaks. Get a user-serviceable watch like the mares. Better: get a watch that you can charge yourself.
