Cheapest watch with depth gauge?

I keep a Swatch Fun Scuba on my BC as a backup. It's rated to 200M, and the scale goes to 40M. It has the ability to replay your last dive, and a saved dive.

The manual is available at: http://www.swatch.com/~manuals/EN/originals_funscuba.pdf

I've found it to be very accurate, and reliable for 50 dives up to 35 meters.

Casio Triple Sensor. Bought it on Ebay for around $100. Has depth, bottom timer, temp and compass. I have taken it down to 110'. Works great. My everyday watch.

You don't happen to have the model number do you? I didn't think there would be so many Triple Sensor models available. Thanks for the help.

only problem is that they couldnt find the manual and the above link doesnt work any more

I wear a dive watch, a Timex with a built-in digital compass - WR100M ($40) and an Oceanic DataPro puck on my right wrist. For my back-up, I wear a cheap UWATEC bottom timer ($75) on my right wrist. Both computers read depth. My console has a mechanical depth gauge as well as compass and pressure. I have not heard or seen a dive watch with pressure gauge until now. A word of warning about my cheap Timex watch, according to the manual, you can't press any of the buttons underwater so I don't even think of using the digital compass. I have accidentally pressed the buttons a couple of times underwater (my computer sometimes pinches one of the buttons) but my watch is still OK. But, I won't push it. I only wear my watch to keep track of time as my computer does not have a built-in watch.

used the Swatch yesterday on 2 dives at Fujairah.
You cant use the buttons underwater but I have a depth guage on my console.

the recordings on the watch were pretty accurate. Am happy with the purchase as it allows me to easily log me dives which I feel is important as a newbie.
It also means I can put off purchasing a Dive Computer for a bit and will maybe look at getting a casing for my digital camera first!

Hello! Same problem! I had a citizen jp1010 and i took it for service!
The whole mechanism needs to be replaced! 150 euros!
I don't need it so much anymore so i look for something economic just to measure the depth! No more than 100euro! Any suggestion?
Thank you!
