Watch recommendations for day-to-day use

[stanw]

I'd like to buy a basic watch with the following criteria:

- something I can wear on a day-to-day basis
- under $350
- analog
- timer
- depth meter (I can not seem to find this in watches in this price range)

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks.

Why not just go with a watch size full blown computer? They can be used in gauge only mode, if you so desire. They run just a little over your price range at $400.

Citizen makes an analog watch with a depth gauge on it. The battery powered one is pretty inexpensive. The ECO drive version is a little more.

it doesn't have a depth gauge but i've worn my st. moritz momentum for over 10 year, 2 battery replacements, dive with it frequently. It's got sentimental meaning. My departed MIL got it for me. I'm sure there are better watches, but for the price point it's been outstanding.
