What to Consider When Buying a Diver's Watch

Water resistance: A true dive watch is rated to at least 200m and often carries ISO 6425 certification. Check the rating against how you actually plan to use it, from snorkelling to deeper diving.

Movement type: Most divers here run automatic movements, though quartz options like the Casio and some Citizen models need less maintenance. Compare both on our automatic watches page.

Case size and legibility: Dive watches are built for clear underwater reading, with bold markers and a unidirectional bezel. Larger cases like the Sumo suit bigger wrists, while the Turtle and Promaster sit more comfortably on average wrists.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a watch a true diver's watch?

A genuine diver's watch is water resistant to at least 200 metres, has a unidirectional rotating bezel for tracking elapsed time, and offers strong legibility underwater. Many also meet the ISO 6425 dive watch standard.

Are automatic or quartz diver's watches better?

Automatic divers like the Seiko Prospex range need no battery and are prized for their movements, while quartz models such as the Casio Analog Diver require less servicing and keep more accurate time. The best choice depends on your maintenance preference.

Can I swim and dive with these watches?

Yes. The diver's watches we stock are rated for swimming and recreational diving, with most offering 200m water resistance or more. Always check the individual model's rating and have the seals serviced periodically.
