Re: Replaced my old dive computer with a D5 - what to expect?

I can't speak to the D5.   I still use a 2000 year Vyper.

It's rare that the conservation hurt me - when I was in Truk, it did mean longer deco, and it didn't support breathing 50/50 at the safety stop.   And earlier this year on a night dive with my newly diving niece, we had to surface early because the dusk dive was also flat 60' profile.

Normally I use nitrox on liveaboards, and it's a non issue.   I also am quite comfortable taking it down to 0 minutes, whereas with the Oceanics the general pattern was to leave 5.

As for after dives, I strap it onto my BC's d-ring.
