Wow, another Sector SGE650 owner :mean: Gotta say that I have never seen anbody else wearing one yet alone this model, which has been discontinued. I always get compliments on this watch and when they ask I always get a confused look "Huh Seiko" "No Sector" :D

As a diver you have to admire their slogan "Sector, No Limits"
 
I use a St. Moritz Momentum, good to 20 ATM (not 100m as mentioned). Nothing beats the 2-4-6 warranty and their great customer satisfaction. Plus too the watches are rugged as hell.
PS You should add some of the more popular watches to the poll, like st. Moritz, and especially suunto
 
Seiko SKX-143 dive watch, Oceanic VersaPro on the right wrist, Oceanic DataPlus in the console. I'm covered. Sometimes I use a Casio 200m analog quartz SS (white face) or my old faithful, a Timex Titanium 100m. All have been to 130 fsw. No problems.
 
I had two Freestlye watches, both died early in their life. Had a Timex, a Casio, I now have a Wal-Mart special $9.99, if it lasts the season, its a deal, and so far its holding up better than the nicer ones!
 
ahhh...finally someone who dives with a St.Moritz on their wrist. I applaud your taste mon signeur. I agree these watches have the fit and finish of a good Swiss alpenstock (a walkingstick used by alpine wanderers)..All business, robustly fashioned, modest but still elegant.
Cheers.
 
Hyper-Aqualand for the most part. I can wear it to the bar, beach, or diving. Holds plenty of profile info and the PC interface was included for no additional charge. Also have a Sunto Mosquito, but the interface is like 100 dollars. I will stick to my Citezen and let the wife wear the Sunto for now.
 
Citizen Promaster - good for 200m and it has well over 100 dives, 8 years or so, and on it's 4th battery. Depth gauge is accurate, and everyone who sees it instantly is attracted to it. It's rather dressy looking, Stainless with Gold Trim, Black Face and tritium markers, along with the band with the ND Limits printed right on the band.
 
The Seiko SKX-781 (aka the orange monster) is an awesome all around analog dive watch. It has the contruction of wacthes costing hundreds of dollars more, is mechanical (automatic), has a very smoothly rotating bezel and super luminous markers. It's very popular in the watch enthusiast community among non-divers. It's rated to 200m and was never officially sold in the US. I got mine from an outfit in Singapore (http://www.skywatches.com.sg). Add a NATO strap and it looks pretty cool!

I also have an Eterna Super KonTiki 300m - nice watch but I wouldn't take it diving for real. It's mechanical (Eterna invented the automatic movement) and was the watch Thor Heyerdahl wore on the famous KonTiki expedition. Probably more than you ever wanted to know, but I'm a watch collector as well as newly certified divier. I'm thinking about getting a Citizen Hyper Aqualand soon for real diving.

Cheers,
John
