Great deal on an automatic dive watch

Thanks for the reply!
I did find a few dive watches with the depth sensor, but majority of them are just too ugly or too expensive. LOL
Think I will just go along with this one.

So trolling through this thread and a few others - am I safe to assume that the majority are using a G-Shock Diver's watch? Is that the preferred? If so I am not finding a G-Shock with a dial on Amazon... I really want to find a solid Dive Watch too.

Majority? I doubt that. G-Shock's are popular, but I haven't seen anything out there that would make me think it's an actual majority item. Not to mention the fact that there are like 15 million varieties of G-Shock.

G-Shocks generally are digital, though, not analog. There are a couple of exceptions but I wouldn't look to G-Shock's for an analog dive watch when there are so many other options for analog watches. So many that there is no clear winner.

What are you looking for in a dive watch, and what's your price range? That will help narrow down the options.

I want a dive watch that is durable, uni-directional and is not more then $150 to $200. I don't believe in the lowest bidder especially when it comes to buying gear.

I paid considerably less than $150 for the Wenger that I wore for several years (similar to this). Still runs great, I've just moved onto the Citizen I wear now, because it's solar and has a depth function.

There are several Citizen Eco-Drive watches (never need a battery changed... the single most common cause of flooded "dive watches") in that price range, including this one for $165: Amazon.com: Citizen Men's Eco-Drive 300 Meter Professional Diver Watch #BN0000-04H: Citizen: Watches

Thanks CompuDude ... that looks just like what I was just just looking at, well pretty close. Thinking I just might order it ...

Pretty decent watch and is the right price.
