My wife bought me a Citizen Eco-Drive dive watch for our anniversary last month. A TOTAL suprise. I'm phyched to put it through the paces next week!!
This watch does have a depth guage, and records the last, deepest depth in memory. Battery charged by solar cell, at the highest charge level it should support dive mode for a couple of hours.
to the OP, as has been stated. If you are comfortable with the equipment that is available for rent, by all means make the dive. But if you are not comfortable, dive another day. I think pretty much everything you could need can be rented. If you are unfamiliar with any piece of equipment, make sure you get clarity from the staff on its operation before you leave with it. And even though the shop is responsible for its equipment, you are responsible for your safety, so make sure you do your own equipment checks prior to leaving as well.
Happy off-the-cuff diving!

How can you consider a dive watch without a pressure gauge?
Depth gauge alone isn't enough. I want pressure gauge too. And I want an altimeter gauge built-in for just in case I go hiking in the Himalayas and wanted to dive in a lake or something.

BTW, all these talks and nobody mentioned Doxa with the US Navy dive table?

If all your wearing is a watch... It should be this one IMOSuunto "D6i" Metal Strap Hoseless Air/Nitrox Computer Wrist Unit Only
Metal strap?
not a chance..
Tibby Adapters with a Black Zulu, or Dark green Zulu, Much smarter choice!
You are talking an oxymoron here. --Vacation--no diving planned or not knowing theres diving to be done. It aint happening.
On a business trip to Japan recently (NO chance of diving I thought) I still had regs and mask packed.

Simple for me, I don't dive without my own gear. If I can't drive there with my gear I don't want to dive there. The one exception would be Truk, even then I'd try my best to ship my gear ahead of me. Since I'll never be able to afford to go there its a non-issue.
