Looking for a tough digital dive watch

[diversteve]

I've had one similar to this for about 5 years now. Daily watch and dive watch. With the white face, the EL really lights up at night. Some of the other EL watches with the blue faces aren't as bright. One other nice feature is the crystal is recessed so it has no scratches on it. Amazon sells them for $43.

True 'diver' watches are pretty expensive- often more than the $200 you're willing to pay. G-SHOCK has the Frogman series for example- these are tested for pressure and incur a large price hike. I had one for around 10 years but it finally died....

Now I have the G-LIDE which works for me and is under $100. It has a much smaller profile which helps getting in and out of straps (something that annoyed me with the Frogman). It has a cool moon/tide indicator as well.

If you do not mind used look for a Suunto D3 or Mosquito. IMHO a much better watch than the dry land watch made to get wet.

Casio G-shock with 200 meter depth rating.. they are more expensive now. I have worn mine on many hundreds of dives, many past rec depths... works excellent, although I never mess with buttons on bottom.. I just set stop watch when I spash when doing deco dives for elapsed time.. No question this is what you want .

I rather like my Casio, and it's been through a LOT. Still works a charm.

Model is a Sea-Pathfinder.

Casio ARW-320

My total fav is the Casio ARW-320 analog - digital with depth meter - altimeter - barometer - altitude and depth alarms and all the usual timer, stop watch and alarm functions. I believe they stopped making them around 1989.

Another vote for G-shock. Hard to go wrong with one.

Has Sea Pathfinder been discontinued? Seems hard to find.

It looks like it, but it's still up on Casios website
