Does anyone wear a watch?

[EODiver]

Casio Pathfinder(s) for most working dives, in all conditions, and beyond recreational depths without any problems, and usually a Citizen aqualand on vacation.

In a wetsuit always wear a watch. In a drysuit, it's a pain in the butt and serves no usable purpose. Love my Zeagle and have a "few" others as I am into time!!

I'm not sure where to put this so here goes does anyone wear a watch while diving and if so what type or company?

I wear my wrist watch under my 5 mm shorty when diving without gloves and over it, covered by the glove with the wirst a little extended. It's usefull when I need to end the dive at specific time. My PDC needs battery replacement once a year and the built in watch has a huge deviation (fast). Each battery replacement needs a time set.
The watch I use is a gift from my wife several years before I started diving, more that 20 years ago. It's an Orient quartz analog rated to 10 bar.

This one's good to 12,800 feet.


Rolex Deepsea, for those on a budget. A really big budget.


Seriously, I haven't worn a watch in probably a decade. I have a dive computer. At some point I'll be getting a second for backup. I don't think a watch as a tertiary timer would be of any benefit.

If you try on a Deepsea, or just see one in person, you'll realize the case is so ridiculously overbuilt that it'd look too large on Arnold. Beautiful piece of work, but really large.

i need a new battery or 2 for my watches.. at least 1 of them are purely sentimental at this point.. i normally don't even wear a watch above water, let alone below. the phone is more accurate timepiece (unless your watch is also set by a time server/cesium clock)

You can find the atomic clock online and set it after that every now and then

Care to elaborate?

Well, there are occasions when it would be impractical to use a mobile phone as a clock. And a quick glance at your wrist normally is a more unobtrusive way of checking the time than pulling up the phone and unlocking its screen.

Diff'rent folks, diff'rent strokes. I still wear a watch topside, and have no plans of stopping doing that
