The XTX50 Status and XTX200 Status from Apeks are the first regulators to feature a built-in electronic intermediate pressure gauge that indicates if the pressure is "HI," "LO" or "OK" before every dive. The electronics also track the date and hours of use and tell you when it's time for routine servicing. Digital envy aside, these are top-performers, with slightly different versions of an over-balanced, environmentally sealed diaphragm first stage (the larger XTX50 first stage sports a rotating hose turret; the XTX200 first stage is more compact); excellent breathing adjustment knobs and ratcheted venturi levers. Both regs dive dry, have comfortable mouthpieces and feature reversible hose configurations. XTX50--$847; XTX200--$990. www.aqualung.com.
