You’ll know exactly how deep you are because the piece features a water depth sensor. Handy for those of you who surf possible conversation starter for the rest of us inlanders.įind more Rip Curl Cambridge information and reviews here.Ī great looking watch with some very impressive features, the Citizen Promaster Aqualand is rated to 200 meters. And to contrast this piece with another Rip Curl watch, this Tidemaster - at a significantly higher price point - is very cool because it’s got a tide indicator sub-dial. The dial, in silvertone sunray, is about as minimalist as you can get, which is an interesting contrast to the busy band. And in this case, those of you who like a smaller watch will like this piece, which is just 40mm across. The case is made of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), which is known for its toughness. Rip Curl, the Australian surf company, says this watch - which is rated to 100 meters - is “…in general, suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not scuba diving.” (Another example of the swirl of water resistant/waterproof information taking different tributaries, depending on who’s doing the talking.) Speaking of swirls, the silicone band features a marble swirl. This dive watch is such a great price, you almost can’t go wrong.įind more Casio Men’s Sport Analog Dive Watch information and reviews here. We also noticed among the reviews that it might be tough to set the day and date, but once achieved, it works as expected. If you’d like something that from Casio that goes deeper (both water and dollar speaking), this Frogman digital piece has several interesting features. Casio calls it a “dive watch,” while 100 meters really isn’t within the range that generally qualifies as “diving.” Nevertheless, the water resistance is here, as is the very solid, good look of this resin-cased, resin-banded piece. This is a good example of marketing making an odd intersection with industry standards. Also take notice of the ATM rating, which is to 100 meters. We’ll admit, the low price point did give us pause, but if you’ll note the reviews of this piece on Amazon, you’ll see it’s got more than 4,000 reviews and a super impressive 4.3 out of 5-star rating average. And, no, you do not need to adjust your vision: the price is correct. We’re plopping the Casio Dive Watch here because it’s so obviously designed with echos of the Luminox above. Of course, they’re both automatic, so the watch stays powered as long as you do (i.e., your movement winds it).įind more Seiko SKX007 Diver’s Watch information and reviews here. In fact, Jack Forster, editor-in-chief at the great watch website, Hodinkee, says this beauty is “…a rebuke to over-priced, over-decorated ‘luxury’ dive watches everywhere – and a perennially fantastic value proposition.” If you want to notch it up with Seiko a bit, this version (called “The Turtle”) is a great value. Water resistant to 200 meters (660 feet), the Seiko is rock solid in performance, fantastic in appearance, and almost too good to be true in price. The black rubber band, the stainless steel case, the black dial with easy-to-see white, luminescent (glow-in-the-dark) hour and minute marks. For starters, it is almost the quintessential diver’s watch look. Get it.” All simply true, but we have a few more things to say about the Seiko Men’s SKX007.
