"Gas switches" is how many different mixes this computer can be programmed to switch between mid-dive, mostly relevant for technical/staged-decompression diving. It doesn't tell you which gas types (air, nitrox, trimix) are supported. See Gas types and the product description above for that.

Diver community sentiment
Mixed opinions

Divers who've used the Galileo HUD for extended periods generally praise its convenience, calling it a genuine confidence-and-buoyancy aid since deco stops, ascent rate, and tank pressure stay constantly in view without checking a wrist unit; one diver with a physical disability called it a "godsend." A recurring and significant complaint across Scubaboard threads is that the built-in digital compass is unreliable, with multiple users independently reporting 10-20+ degree deviations that persist even after calibration, forcing serious navigators to carry a backup. Other divers found the display dated, objected to needing a specific compatible two-window mask, and flagged the steep price.

Summarized from public forum discussion (Scubaboard, Reddit, and similar), not a survey we ran ourselves. See the linked threads for the original conversations.

The Galileo HUD is Scubapro’s mask-mounted, hands-free computer, projecting a virtual floating display so divers never have to look down at a wrist unit. Some retailers and internal compatibility lists refer to it as the “G2 HUD” since it shares its Uwatec-derived algorithm and electronics generation with the G2 line, but Scubapro’s own product name is Galileo HUD. There’s no separate “G2 HUD” SKU.
