Dive watches
Dive watches are designed for underwater use. These watches
feature water resistance gear that can withstand pressure at the equivalent
of 100 meters (about 330 feet). And that is at a minimum. Modern technology
allows these watches to go much deeper.
Dive watches are useful for keeping track of how long you’ve
been underwater. If you are diving from a private boat, you will need
to keep this information in mind. Furthermore, these watches often come
equipped with additional technology such as a compass, which can be
helpful.
Additionally, dive watches are one of the few pieces of scuba diving
equipment that is useful out of the water as well. Some people will
select a dive watch for the same reason they would select any other
watch: for the style of it. And if you’re an interested diver
who is already in the market for a new watch, a dive watch might be
a way of conflating those two interests.
