have rolex submariner - nice watch, if it would keep time like a timex (barely ever wear it, was a gift and carries this image of a penis extension for older gentleman), a breitling avenger seawolf - beautiful but a real alternative to your weightbelt LOL. its supposed to be good to 10.000ft, i guess i will never find out if that is true. it is solid, accurate and dependable and i guess close to indestructible. also a doxa 600 - just a classic and makes me feel like dirk pitt (just kidding). funny enough my favorite watch is still my old luminox $149 (10yrs ago) black plastic like divewatch, it runs and runs (accurate), glows like a backup light on nightdives, is slim and lightweight....

just my 2cents
 
I have the Citizen Eco-drive titanium pro divers watch !!! It's only an anolog watch with a rotating bezel,but I think one of it's greatest features is that it never needs batteries runs off sun light. And the fact that it's titanium makes it really light on the wrist.
 
I have the Citizen Eco-Drive Aqualand with Dive Log - 20th Anniversary Model. It keeps great time and looks good. I haven't done much diving with it yet. Seems to have a number of good features though.

The 20th Anniversary Aqualand brings the convenience of Eco-Drive to a full-function dive watch, including a backlight and dive log memory. This model sports a high-tech look with a sleek assymetrical case and coded buttons for the ultimate in form and function.

Current and Maximum Depth display
Current and lowest water temperature display
Surface interval measurement

3 alarms
Calendar with day and date display
Two time zones - can set each alarm for a different time zone

Eco-Drive technology is powered by light with no batteries to change, ever. Standard quartz diving watches require periodic battery changes. With a diving watch, this will necessitate having the watch pressure-checked, resulting in extra service costs and delays while the watch is sent out.

Charge level indicator
Screw-Back Case and ScrewDown Crown
Water Resistant to 200 Meters
 
here is my dive watch. I am a huge watch freak as well as some above. I will use one of my panerai, IWC, etc if I happen to be wearing them and they are rated beyond the depth I plan on diving.

Is there any other option than the Rolex Sea Dweller?
The Seadweller is a great watch but unless you are diving below 1000 feet or doing Saturation diving the Rolex Submariner has a bigger face for more legibility and it has one less hole in the case as a potential leak point. No Helium relief valve that nobody needs.
 
I'm an Omega guy (as seen on my avatar!). This is my everyday watch as well. Hoping to pick up a Planet Ocean soon, though I'm not wild about the anti-reflective coating on the outside of the crystal - tensd to show marks.
