Cheapest watch with depth gauge?

[Zibri]

Interesting thread... I had the same question.. but I found no answers here... the triple sensor from casio I found has not depth meter.. altimeter, barometer, temperature, compass... I wonder why there is such a gap in technology... citizen did it in the nineties.. then nothing.. only mares,suunto,scubapro and other diving oriented companies.. is that possible?

I think he meant Casio SPF100 instead triple sensor. I have a SPF100 for 15 years+. I took the watch to the official service center once in few years to have battery replaced and water pressure test. I am not sure if this model is still in production or not.
One small problem is it cannot show depth when exceeds 80 meters.

I used a cheap pink Swatch back in the 90s and had an analog depth gauge. Worked fine and never had an issue. Dove tables for several years when I first got certified.

I would stay away from the Citizen Promaster - the bands fall apart - not a good thing on a dive and, for what they cost you can go out and get a decent dive computer with depth, time, Deco... for the same or less.

Uwatec bottom timer on a bungee on my right wrist. I can only say I really didn't want a watch ( no matter how cheap ) because if they lose one lil pin - they are gone. I think it's strange how there seems to be no market for a nice watch w/ depth though...it's odd ? I would imagine there would be a manufacturer out there happy to fill this market?

All you need is one of these to prevent that:

NITROX-17

I have these type bands on both of my watch style computers. They work great.

Loved my digital Citizen Aqua-land except for the beeping if move my arm too fast. Wish they would produce a modern day one without the ascent beeping.

In today's technology you'd think Casio could make a g-shock with all the functions of a scubapro bottom timer with a stop watch for under $200. And not a ridiculous Frogman. Something in the size of my G-Shock Black out.

Citizen - Casio wtf???
