I dive with my Citizen Hyper Aqualand - great backup to my computer & also very wearable as a watch; too bad it's been discontinued.
Freestyle Hammerhead. has back light... 660 ft stamped twice on the case, a dive flag and 20ATM H2O on the face. (you can also find them with 200 meters... but.. 20ATM sounds more cooler don't you think?)

I'm not that into watches so I have a Timex Helio (depth and time) that I use if I've forgotten my computer or it needs batteries or whatever. Otherwise, I take it off before the dive if I'm even wearing a watch and just use dive computer (s) for that purpose.
Most dive watches wouldn't fit around my drysuit anyway.

I wear a $9.99 plastic, glow in the dark watch I bought at Wally's about four years ago. Same battery, good for at least 130 feet and keeps on tickin'. Best ten dollars I ever spent. Wish I'd bought two of them. (I use it to tell the time.)

I use my dive watch to augment the computer for just in case the computer died, I'd at least know how long I've been underwater so that I can calculate my pressure group for the next dive.
What watch do I use? Depends on my mood. Sometimes I dive with my $150 Seiko automatic. Sometimes I dive with my $6400 Rolex Sea Dweller. Sometimes I go with my $3200 Omega Seamaster Professional. Sometimes I use my console computer and use my wrist computer as a dive watch. Sometimes I don't use any watch at all.

A not-too-expensive Citizen Ecodrive 300m dive watch as a backup bottom timer (they sell for $150 - 200).

I just got a dive computer (my very first
) last year, I guess I'm a bit old fashioned, but I'm not comfortable without a basic analog dive watch on my wrist and dive tables in my wetsuit thigh pocket when I dive
Best wishes.
