dive watch

[David Parkhill]

Hello everyone,
I've been out of diving for a little while now, and apart from a refresher
course, I need to get a new watch as my old one saht itself the other week.

I'm trying to get an analog - as opposed to digital - watch suitable for
sports diving. I probably shant be going much deeper than 30 metres and
really do not need all the bells and whistles that seem to come with the
more "professional" type of watch. I think I will need to spend some $$$
but not the $650.00 and up I have been quoted for a couple of Citizen
models. I'm hoping to get away with something in the $250.00 - $400.00
range, or am I living in the past? Admitidly I brought my last watch - a
"Loyal"a tad over 13 years ago for $150.00, and always had trouble when it
was time to replace the batteries.

Any help, on or off line will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dave

Hi David,

I changed my diving watch a few days ago, and got me a SEIKO SKX007K
(200 m W.R., automatic, analog) for a good price at
www.skywatches.com.sg. It's an authentic watch with guarantee. Think
about extra fees such as customs taxes. I dove once with it and, up to
now, I'm 100% satisfied with this buy.

Bye,
Will

I've always gone elcheapo with watches, my latest $150 Shark Precision.
I don't like the big bulky gungho style watches that look like Big Ben
on a strap as I also use it for other water sports. This one looks
like an ordinary watch except with the rotating bezel.
If your in Perth I got it at the Dive Superstore.

Can I ask why?

Another alternative (if digital) would be an electronic depth gage,
they are around $250 new.

I have a Momentum 500m, it's a nice, affordable, reliable little watch.
