Which Watch do you dive with ?

[oversea]

Hey everyone
Just wanting to know of the people on this forum who dive with a watch, what are you using ?. Im talking about a watch you can dive with ,not a watch intergrated with computer features.
Thanks for any input. Im in the market to buy a new watch and i need some valid opinions.

Thanks Cam

Mines cheap junk freestyle. I've been wearing it for 7 years, its beat up, but watertight and keeps the time, I guess it's pretty good.

My Submariner flooded at 230fsw...Cost $650 to repair. :whiner:

Trade it in for a SeaDweller. Apart from the date being a bit smaller, and about double the service cost it's not dissimilar.

Citizen Hyper Aqualand Model MA9024-24E for a dive watch it's great to track time in time out, average depth.

Citizen Eco-Drive.

Rated 200m, no battery (solar).

Analogue only watch, simple to read hands and a bezel timer.

I also wear it out of the water as a normal watch as its not THAT bulky.

That sucks, maybe I will start leaving mine on the boat.

Rolex submariner 287fsw no leaks. But did have a screw come loose inside many years ago $250 to open it up and reinstall the screw. Still goes with me on every dive.

What features do you want in a dive watch? Time? Elapsed time? Splits? Back-lit? Easy to press buttons? Depth rating? Chick magnet?

Timex 8-Lap Shock Resistant Ironman* Triathlon

Aside from the fact that the buttons are still a little difficult to operate in cold water with heavy gloves on, this watch will do everything you need except impress the ladies.

It tells time (duh?) in an easy to read digital format, provided you with elapsed times down to the seconds, is back-lit for those deep or night dives and is rated to 200 meters. It's also cheap enough to throw away if it breaks.

Sometimes I use an el cheapo Casio Illuminator. Usually, I leave the watch on the boat and just rely on my computer.

I use a $10 backlit digital watch from Walmart. Water resistant to 50m. It's even bungeed and everything. After two years, it finally died on me during a pool session a couple weeks ago.
