    I would recommend what some call a "poor man's Rolex" --Seiko dive watch. I have had one since 1978.

    I have a Citizen Promaster. This one: Watch Details for Promaster Depth Metre Chronograph | Citizen Eco-Drive. It is a bit over $400 but worth it.

    Another option is the Casio G-Shock range. They are bulletproof and hugely popular with divers.
    • You can’t breathe water
    • You can’t swim through rock/steel
    • Extra gas is never too heavy to carry
    • Murphy is your eager and willing dive buddy

    I don't care how good or experienced you are complacency on your next dive WILL catch up with you!!

    I picked up a brand new Zeagle Pro IV on ebay for a steal ($49). One direction bezel for safety and good to 200 meters.

    Citizen Aqualand can be had for that price range. I love having mine as a backup depth guage and bottom timer.

    Big vote for the Seiko's .... I love watches and have way too many....

    but why not go for something that's a bit unique?.... I had this one custom made by Jake B at 10Watches - well within your price range with all the custom work and shipping....of course then I ended up buying 4 Doxas.... because the bug just gets you

    One of a few watches I own is the Breitling Super Ocean ($2500) with a depth rating of 5000ft which I used diving for many years but have come to realize that my Casio G Shock ($50) is a much better option. Total dive time and seconds for stops make it so much easier to track.

    r u looking for a digital or analog watch?

    if u r looking for a digital one, a casio g-shock is hard to beat for its price, durability and functionality.

    if u r looking for an analog one, i wld suggest a citizen promaster. it can functions for depth, dive time etc.

    Here is a link to a seller. This guy is a diver, good guy, and one of the consultants for the design of the watch. Broadarrow

    The price is above $400 but not by much and you might find them cheaper used. I have a SAR early model set aside as a gift for my son when he graduates from HS. The bracelet is SOLID FWIW.
