I love this watch! Perfect as a backup as well
Citizen Eco-Drive Aqualand with Dive Log - 20th Anniversary Model

I was very happy with my St. Moritz, and got fantastic customer service from them. I liked how thin the watch was, but they don't make that model any more (SMX), or at least they made it larger. I now enjoy my older Citizen Pro Diver, but I don't think they make that one anymore, either. Or once again, they may have a watch with that model name, but it's really different; larger and more cluttered face, so not as easy to read. I found it hard to find a simple, easy to read dive watch that isn't too big.
 
Ditto on the rolex subamariner. I have a few a bought over the past years and never had a problem with any of them. Love the perpetual wind and lumanescence.
 
Lot of money for a watch though, you can get a dive computer for less.....

I suppose if I led a "normal" life with occasional trips to the water I'd maybe go for a watch such as these, but as it is I'm in the water most days and I'd rather wear a computer watch like my Stinger (though I hate the battery life). But actually, when I did lead such a life I wore a conventional lightweight watch (mine was an Omega) for everyday life or a particularly tough one like a G-Shock for active sports, then strapped on a couple of dive computers for diving. I actually had a SS Aqualand and gave it away because I never wore it.
 
Citizen Eco Drive. I have had it forever. No batteries.

That's my favorite, too.

Or at least it was, until I lost it. :(

I hope to replace it with another, however. Haven't seen anything out there I like better. Very nice looking watch, reasonably priced, no batteries ever, provides both time and depth functions.

I like the Citizen 20th anniversary watch from a function standpoint, but it's ugly as hell. I wish there were more options for nice-looking dive watches with actual dive features mixed in that don't look like crap. (esp ones with solar power and atomic clock setting!)

I'm a huge fan of ana-digi watches, too, but again, finding one that actually looks good also is really really tough. I've found some really nice Breitlings I can't afford, and some Tissots that don't quite do it for me from a beauty standpoint, but nothing perfect.

These days I'm diving my old standby, a 200m swiss army watch, just a straight watch I got at Costco years ago for $60, that just keeps going...
 
I like the Eco Drive as well. It's a handsome watch, reliable depth gauge and very durable. Reasonably priced for what you get.
 
I'm wearing (and actually using) the Citizen Eco-Drive Titanium.

Looks good and was a bargain at CostCo.
