I really don't see the need to spend more than $50 on a "dive" watch.

When I first got certified watches were more common than computers so I purchased a $100 200m watch from the shop. It leaked on the first dive...replaced it. The second one the bezel fell off after 6mo....

Ever since then it's been Walmart specials. (yes, I still wear a watch)

First one $12 had for 3-4 years, digital, back lit, stopwatch, never had a problem (The original battery never ran out) with it. Gave it to a deckhand down in Mexico for a tip, he really wanted it for some reason. The second ($15 Walmart) I have had for almost 2 years and it is still going strong. If it breaks or I lose it or the battery runs out I will be making another trip to Walmart.
