If you are in the market for a new diving watch, here are some aspects you should consider before you buy a new diving watch.
1. Water resistance.
Obviously, all diving watches are going to be water proof; they wouldn’t last for a minute otherwise. But how much water resistance in really needed? After all safety limits recreational divers to a maximum depth of 130 feet, so any diving watch that meets or exceeds 130 feet should be good enough, right? Wrong!
When companies test the water resistance rating of a diving watch, the test is completed in controlled conditions. The tests do not consider any other potential events that could play into the water resistance of the watch. Basically, they tell the resistance to water penetration assuming there is no movement of the watch or the water, at a particular depth. Clearly, these test conditions do not simulate real diving conditions where your watch is likely to be repeatedly jarred. If your watch is hit when it is near the extremes of its depthrating, it may fail.
To guarantee that your diving watch does not give out at depth, make sure you purchase a watch with a depth rating of at least twice...
