Ignoring one alarm is just as easy as ignoring another.

If you read the last sentence in my post (#10) you'll see that I agree.

Diving a KISS I believe that there is safety in simplicity, I have small diameter gauges I check before the dive, at the beginning of the dive and during the dive.

The O2 gauge is routed alongside the KISS valve, so I usually look at it whenever I add gas.

But Chris asked if it had been thought of before, and indeed it has.
As I said, it's available for those who want and can afford it.
Not for me at this point, but I can appreciate having the option.

And for completeness' sake, the Poseidon/Cis-Lunar Mk-6 prototypes also have digital high pressure gauges, contents displayed on the handset, with low pressure (actually general 'consumables low') warning on the HUD.
