I am a Class IV commercial diver and ex military diver.For me the best dive watch at the moment is the Tudor Pelagos FXD.Why you may ask?Simple,because it doesn’t have watch pins,but rather the solid bars.Over the years I’ve broken and lost watches due to those thin pins.

@frank327 Год назад

Great point

@dickcurrey21 Год назад

I bought the nato adapter for my EcoZilla for the same reason, sold fixed bar for no worry strap attachment.

@jeffusrangerairborne9061 Год назад

That's why you should always Dive with your Watch on a Nato Strap. Break One Pin. The Watch is Still Attached to the Strap. Both Pins Breaking at the Same time is *Almost* Impossible.

@scottbrandon6244 Год назад

That is a nice watch. Plus it has a distinct color of blue on the dial.

@sonderbass Год назад

I second this. The FXD is top class!

@lporragas Год назад

Im a Divemaster who always uses both a computer and a Dive Watch for redundancy purposes. A few years ago during a 90 ft. dive my computer fail and it was my Citizen Promaster Aqualand who did the job of helping me get to the surface safely, since then my advice is get in the water with both a computer and a capable dive watch.

As a recreational diver, I used to use an SKX, before they started becoming too valuable. I now use either a basic ProMaster EcoDrive, or a Casio Duro. When going into an environment where anything can, and does happen. wearing a multi-thousand dollar watch can be a big hit to the wallet, if it should get lost or broken.

@mjdm1925 Год назад

The Duro has basically no lume eso I don’t know how you deal with that

@valengreymoon5623 Год назад

It's more of a back-up piece, but I don't do night diving, and I keep a limit so there's some sort of light.

Commercial salvage diver and captain here, as well as a dive instructor. My everyday wear is a Glycine Combat Sub, just because it's both durable and accurate enough, but at an affordable enough price point it's replaceable should something go wrong, although it hasn't yet.

@Mountain-Hiker Год назад

I have the bronze gmt version. Really like it, especially for the money…$550 from Costco. I wear it hiking a lot, which leads to many dings, dirt and water. Seems to keep time well, about 3 seconds fast a day.

@chrisrichardson4899 Год назад

I have one as well, and a Instructor Trainer, been in dive industry full time since 95. I really like it but find using the bezel is a PITA when diving. not enough grip and too stiff to turn My go to for years when a resort instr has been a few Seiko divers as tough as heck but affordable. I see they are getting more expensive and hear quality is not as consistent. Have Omega PloProf 600 (original) a Seamaster (1996) and have dived both but not at all my every day wear let alone every day dive. I also have a couple SeaStars 1000"s Tissot's ( 2003 and 2011 versions_ that have been good dive watches, however other than their bezel being better than the Gycine, I think the Glycine is slightly better quality . I am eyeing the new Tissot SeaStar 2000, it seems awesome value for what if offers, even a useless and silly Helium release valve (no folks, in water not needed, in chamber you just open your crown anyhow.. solved, plus most folks are NEVER going to dive saturation, far less than 1% of divers ever will, and even few commercial divers )

@heleti0000 Год назад

One word - “Tuna” - but I guess it didn’t make the cut because of being hard to find one now. I have been wearing my Seiko Professional 600m “Tuna” every day since I bought it back in 1975 / 76. Both for initially sport and then part time commercial diving with a marine construction company for a few years and in heavy mining and construction work ever since.. It has survived quite a number of car and motorcycle “incidents” over the years, three aircraft crashes and numerous parachute jumps. Nearly fifty years of continual use (and abuse) - I have had seals changed regularly and it still is the watch I put on every morning - a bit battered around the edges (in a bit better condition than me though 😜) and the luminosity has “left the building”. I look forward to handing it on to my son when my time comes.

@theochrist9453 Год назад

You are all looking at it the wrong way when it comes to dive watches. For a diver, not only the ability to measure the elapsed dive time and the duration of the safety stop, or even decompression stops, but equally important is the depth reading. So for me, only the Aqualand from Citizen ticks all the boxes, which I actually use every day here in the Maldives, where I work since 18 years as a Dive Instructor.

@berendbmx Год назад

Great video and very real recommendations. I am a PADI MSD and always used a Seiko on rubber as a backup next to my computer. After ten years I updated and bought a second hand Pelagos from someone who did not wear it enough and its been on more than 200 dives already :)

The most common divers watch I have ever seen on DSVs are G-Shocks

@orwellknew9112 Год назад

@@mell3109 That makes sense. The G Shocks are tough as nails tool watches and have useful dive features, especially the GWF-D1000, 200M dive rated WITH depth meters. The Citizen Promaster Aqualands such as the original JP2000-08e are also dive rated to 200 meters WITH depth meters. I wonder how deep they’ve actually gone and survived.

@tartari13 Год назад

I use an Oris Aquis Depth gauge for diving. The analog depth gauge is a brilliant "uncomplicated" complication which turned out to be an ACTUAL useful and important feature during my recent dives. Of course it does not replace a computer but I've used it as my main device during shallow dives and it's very reliable.

@walterhardinge-zt2ol Год назад

Hi Teddy its nice to finally see a review of dive watches for actual Divers , like any endeavour there are as many types of watches as types of divers . As for myself I got my certification in 1976 primarily for recreation though over the years I find myself doing more salvage ,rescue and boat repairs and maintenance than having fun exploring . At present I’ve got 7 dive watches , 2 Seiko turtles ,a Cousteau manta ,and a gold turtle , 2 Longines blue and a 2 tone , Certina D S titanium , as well as a titanium Sedna ti ,tantalum OMEGA ,and just for fun an Islander 18 that I affectionately call the snot master as a cheap nockaround yachtmaster alternative……one can never have enuff dive watches

@Chris-wj4ze 5 месяцев назад

I love it when reddit "experts" state that professional divers rely on mechanical watches and would never use something powered by a battery.

@calnative4904 Год назад

In my younger years I was a PADI divemaster. The choices the divers have today is remarkable, that being said my favorite brand is Citizen and I have several.

@orwellknew9112 Год назад

I own 2 Citizen Promaster Aqualands. I have to say my JP2000-08e is my favourite watch and such a crazy bargain for what you get. I am tempted to buy a second one because my first one is so darned good. My preferred variation with the original black dial and orange minute hand, with a steel bracelet is not widely available new. I’m concerned that it will not be available at all one of these days.

@TheBigWrist Год назад

In 1981 I was in the USCG, on board the Cutter Point Bridge. Most of us wore a cheap Timex. Our rescue diver wore a DOXA. A few years later when G-Shock became a thing, we all bought those.

@stephenh.8336 Год назад

I just bought my first Certina, specifically the DS PH200M. Love how it looks and it's pretty cool to have something a little more off the beaten path.

@htdang6075 Год назад

The Doxa’s bezel with the built-in US Navy air dive table is the perfect timer for a single non-decompression dive outing. No need to have the dive computer and whatnot if you’re not doing multiple dives. Sometimes all I do is a single shore dive at night. SPG and Doxa are all you need to keep track of your bottom time.

@garytellep5392 Год назад

Love your videos. I bought a Seiko "Willard" 6105 in 1971 before shipping overseas and went through the entire decade in the US Army wearing it from the Far East to sub zero Alaska. If there was a torture test not given I can't recall, my only maintenance was replacing straps. By the mid 80s rather than refurbish it, it was a wreck, but still functional, that I should have kept in hindsight, I bought a replacement, one of their first Quartz divers in the mid 80s and got another hard decade out of it. A lot of scuba. Unable to just stick #1 inside a drawer forgotten I dove to a coral ledge off Maui and left it under the watchful eyes of a large moray eel. I suspect he's still guarding it today. Living in Kona, HI then, the most popular watch worn in the local scuba clan was the then new Casio G-Shock, an early poor man's dive computer around 40 bucks. And agreed, by the end of the 90s the dive computer had all but mothballed traditional dive watches. I worked in a dive shop before the Army and we sold the Doxa, marketed by US Divers with the Aqua Lung logo on it's face, it was pretty hot stuff along with the price. Orange incidentally at depth photographs black although your vision perceives the orange hue. ?? These days for old times sake I'm using a Casio Duro with an Uncle Seiko rubber strap reminiscent of my old 6105 band but a lot softer. The original 6105 was hard plastic. Still in Alaska, it handles -40F and some ruff stuff without a hitch. Who needs a Rolex Sub anyway?

@jeffsmith1661 Год назад

Thanks for another great review Teddy. Owning 300-600m dive watches for most of us is like all the soccer moms and dads owning high capability, four-wheel drive SUV’s to pick up their kids after school. Not necessary, but highly desired. There is something about knowing you have the capability under you or on your wrist. I have many dive watches and have never strapped on a SCUBA tank in my life. I do love diving off the dock and working and playing around water though. Having a tool watch that I can keep on all day around the lake or beach gives me a great feeling.

@whywecollectwatches Год назад

Teddy this has to be your most comprehensive and inclusive review of dive watches to date. Very cool!

@BAF605 Год назад

Glad to see Citizen get mentions. The upsized, uprated "Lefty" is of course up-priced, but you can still find NOS versions of the original 42mm "Lefty" (contemporary of the SKX and used for a time by the Italian Navy as their diver straight out of the box) very cheaply. I recently picked up the full lume version under $200. Grab one before they disappear. Admittedly never as iconic as the SKX but like that watch many will want them when they're gone. A very comprehensive list. Thank you.

@daledervin3672 Год назад

Having been a diver for decades- before computers and during, first, I would never dive without a watch. At the very least, it's a backup. Second, a real diver's watch has some facility for bracelet/strap expansion to fit over the neoprene. Third, a dive watch has to take a beating because one is always slamming into something, raking across coral, banging into or through a steel hulled ship. The scars of a real dive watch from being actually used is as much style than when the box was first opened. It says "I've been there." Seiko used to be the defacto watch from the '80's, and still has that classic look, but a dive watch really is more than looks. Citizen far surpassed Seiko years ago, in both design and capability. My daily wear in and out of the water since 2009 until last year has been the same EcoZilla- the thing just won't die. Now it sits on the window sill keeping charged with its buddy, the Promaster Depth Meter Chronograph-Metric (Metric), which has only been in a pool. My daily wear is the Breitling Super Ocean Chronograph II, but when it comes to water, and until I can afford to thrash a Sea Dweller Deep Sea, it will always be the EcoZilla. And why not? For the price, the payoff makes it almost free.

@dalerichardson8842 Год назад

When I got my scuba certification dive computers weren't available yet and Jacques Cousteau was on TV. I said to my girlfriend, "Isn't that cool?" And she was like, "My dad's a scuba instructor. Talk to him, he can hook you up". So now I'm retiring after 50 years of machining, it's Doxa, for the kiss-my-ass gift to myself. Pure nostalgia for where it all started.

In 1990 I replaced it with an Omega Seamaster 200M pre-Bond, which was replaced in '02 by a Rolex Submariner. All are still in my collection. Along the way, I have acquired many other divers including Certina, Vaer, Lorier, and several other Seikos. This past week, I broke out the 6309 that started it all and it was a pleasure having it on my wrist again. Keep up the great work.

Teddy I love the fact they you mentioned Sinn regulating it’s movements and not saying a word. That’s kinda the best watch makers they just do it and don’t really make a huge fuss about it brands like Sinn and honestly helm also are just two brands going for the same space at different price points and in different ways. Helm with Japanese nh seiko movements and a iso 6425 test and a real personal touch and distinct build quality. While Sinn just does it lil German amazingness with eta movements. Honestly that’s a amazing thing. That’s how Rolex started there’s no reason sinn, oris, helm, etc etc etc etc couldn’t replicate that exact thing. But then again the oyster case is perfect. Omega genially payed doctors to come up with the best fitting wrist watch for the largest percentage of humans. That watch, the dynamic is genuinely a oyster case by omega with a abnormally large protruding crown. My Theory is that the doctors came back and said you won’t like this but all watch makers have underestimated how big we can make normal crowns and omega ran with it. So do that again Sinn/helm and you’ll be forever written in history.

My dad was former Military and recreational Diver. He passed away about 25 years ago and wore a Seiko automatic turtle. It’s got heavy wear but still ticking and I wear it myself sometimes today, although I don’t dive. I now use either a basic ProMaster EcoDrive, or a Casio Duro. When going into an environment where anything can, and does happen. wearing a multi-thousand dollar watch can be a big hit to the wallet, if it should get lost or broken.

Such a great vid Teddy. Almost makes me want to stray from my original Seiko 7548 (Pepsi) and 6306 (Third Diver).

Brilliant Teddy, the vast majority of the Submariner shown was the no date 124060.

I used dive back in the 1980s. There were dive computers, but they were expensive. I planned out a dive and used a dive table and a watch. One thing that always bugged me was that the bezel on dive watches was backwards. If I were diving for 20 then I'd set the bezel so that it was 20 minutes ahead of the minute hand. When the two lined up while I was diving, I knew it was time to go back up, and I could use the watch to time my decompression rests. However, when used this way the numbers on the bezel are all backwards. I always thought this was strange. I guess most people line up the bezel with the minute hand when they start their dive and then come up when 20 minutes have passed, but if you can't see the numbers then you have to estimate the time between the glowing hands and the bezel dot. I much preferred my way of doing it, even if this meant the numbers on the bezel were useless.

Very nice list. I’m a bit surprised Zodiac did not get picked.

My brother loves his Zodiac Super Sea Wolf. Purchased new in 1971; used for some diving back in the day. Both he and the watch are longer in diving condition, but the Zodiac is still serviceable as an office watch.

I am a recreational diver. I liked how you started the video. Yes, we divers do not need a watch as we wear air integrated dive computers now. I have owned a Rolex Sea Dweller, the classic Seiko Automatic and currently own a Seiko LX Spring Drive Prospex SBDB021. Spring drive sets Seiko apart from all other brands. You can always buy a fake Rolex Submariner, Sea Dweller but not a Seiko or Grand Seiko spring drive. Tudor Pelagos has had some serious quality issues.

I got the Longines Hydroconquest in dark grey like the one in this video as my first Swiss mechanical watch and I love wearing it. But, the Omega Seamaster is my dream watch. I can't wait to get one. Hopefully soon, 😔

Hey Teddy. Take a Look at the *TITONI* (SEASCOPPER 600M) Chronometer (COSC). I picked up One as a Beater, but mainly just to See if What I had heard about it's Fit & Finish and Bang for Buck, wasn't Just Hype. Well When I received it (Direct from TITONI), The Presentation was Way More than it's $1800 total Cost. Seriously, A Bit, even More, Better than Rolex's Presentation (Not an Exaggeration).

For general use I have a Citizen Titanium Promaster. It isn't the best watch in the world but I got it relatively cheaply and I don't want a heavy watch if I am out doing an activity, like Kayaking, swimming, etc. Most important of all, I wouldn't want to spend a lot of money on a dive watch, which could break, if I accidently smashed it against rocks or something. The one downside is it doesn't have sapphire crystal but that isn't a massive issue. Also I am aware that a G-Shock maybe more practical but I prefer a less busy dial, where I can see the time easier.

can you do a casio dive watches video? i don't mean any specific casio dive watch or dive style just maybe from the old poseidons to the oceanus

Love the helium escape. My favorite Omega

@KevinRibelMusic Год назад

I love my Seiko SRPD27K1 (Prospex Monster Gen4) I'm rarely in any body of water but it ticks the diver box in my collection.

@FiremanFrach Год назад

Is something like the Casio Frogman even in this league or at least an honorable mention? I’m just curious. I’m not well versed in dive watches.

@JamesGreenbaum Год назад

Great review. I am surprised you did not review ORIENT or SQUALE which are established, professional brands very comparable to the watches you featured.

@jeremygreenberg1279 Год назад

Super nice reviews! Thanks

@kayakumha Год назад

Nice review! Thank you!

@muhammadsalam844 Год назад

Great video teddy! Wish you could’ve also included the zodiac sea wolf, as it’s from the same year as the submariner and the fifty fathoms

@smack2511 Год назад

Surprised you didn't mention the Breitling avenger Seawolf, the capability that watch has for the money is incredible. Good video though, some really excellent watches there

@Lanciarules Год назад

Because in his store he does not sell breitling

@jakesmith9987 Год назад

The Tudor is amazing! Thanks Ted!

@skyworks1621 Год назад

I have the Omega on rubber and sub and both are great. I dont have a favourite, but sub goes out to partys and lunches more.

@bloodymarvelous4790 Год назад

I'd like the dual colored lume from the Omega Seamaster, with the fully lumed bezel of the Tudor Pelagos, and the specs of the Rolex Seadweller for the price of a Seiko.
