Criteria for a Diving Wrist Watch

Diving wrist watches need to be mechanical. The watch must be hermetically and firmly sealed body is a must for diving watches. The diving watch body must be made of high quality steel or pure titanium and should not be multi-pieces. TAG Heuer watches are excellent a good example because of their one body covering.

Generally, diving wrist watches have circular section thickening ring between their body and cover snap together with screwings. It should have considered side protection to protect from hammering and shock resistances.

Diving wrist watches that have the above features will generally provide water-resistant up to 100m. Most professional scuba diving watches can sustain much deeper water pressures, with some models of TAG Heuer and Sector watches you can dive up to 1000m. At deeps thereis less light than on the surface, so your wrist watch will need to have large and self glowing numbers, hands and markers that can easily be seen.

When underwater you can lose perception of time and for this you require a rotating bezel with markers to indicate your time under water. Enusre that your watch the bezel rotates anti-clockwise, so if you knock it you will only lose dive time and not over diving which can cause complications.
