Best Dive Watch Ever...

[nuncio33]

Hello guys,

A question to those of you with the Aqualand Duplex.

I am based in Brussels, and i work with metres (not feet) and measure temperatures in Celsius.

I have a friend in NY and i could get the Aqualand from Amazon.com at 50% of what it would cost in Europe. However it is crucial for me that it operates with the metric system.

My question is if the US-market Aqualands measure depth only in feet or also in metres? Is it a function of either/or or does the Duplex do both feet and meters.

Another question is whether they also display the date. This is my main issue with the Tag-Heuer Aquagraph which does not display the date, but otherwise i think it to be the prettiest dive watch, albeit gloriously overpriced.

Any info from Aqualand Duplex owners would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Nuncio

My memory is that they are switchable, Metric/English, but I can't find my manual. Look on the web for a manual or instruction sheet.

The Oceanic OC1 looks like the bomb. Second choice would be Oceanic Atom2. I like to surface with my buddies which is difficult to do with a Suunto...My guess is 99% of new computers sold would have dual systems....

How much does the Citizen Hyper Aqualand or watches of that range cost in Singapore and where should I get them ?

Intending to get one as a gift

Or if anyone has any recommendations on watches with dive computer functions between the $100-200$ range?

^That's my current backup depth/timer for tech dives, but I'm going to buy one of these:

Zenith Defy, $92,000

Thank God it's water proof to 3300 feet in case I drop it into the ocean and it sinks to the bottom. I can retrieve it with my diamond encrusted submarine. Don't wait to buy these as I'm sure they will sell fast as they only made 25 in the entire universe and aliens bought a few of them to reverse engineer them to steal the technology for their spaceships

What's the model # of that one? Looks similar to the BJ2000-09E but a little different.

Edit: Nevermind, found it: Citizen Promaster Sensor AL0000-04E

Looks good, but I prefer the solar charging of the BJ2000-09E to avoid battery changes. Nice that it has a real seconds hand, though.
