Do you actually dive with your dive watch?

[HammerCJ]

Just wondering how many of those with valuable dive watches actually wear them when going diving?

[Ray Luxury-Yacht]

Heheh, good question - but nope!

My Omega Seamaster occasionally has to deal with a depth of maybe 12 inches in the bath...that's about it, lol!

[nickcowen]

Wouldn't say I have valuable dive watches but a couple seiko divers which normally don't even get wet when I do the dishes

[Adrian W]

Don't be silly

[HammerCJ]

I do dive, but if I get the ceramic Sub that I am mulling over, I am not sure about how I would feel about diving with it, given its value! I took my old Tag down to about 40m, but that's worth a lot less. Leaving it in the hotel safe seems a smarter option! Despite me thinking I want a dive watch because I dive! I'd love to know what proportion of Sea Dwellers and Planet Oceans have ever used their Helium Escape Valves at the appropriate times!

[Caruso]

Wouldn't dream of it, might scrape it on some coral!

[chris56]

Yes I dive with all my Submariners - why would you not , it us what they are designed to do.

Me rigorously testing a client's Rolex Seadweller to 42ft in the Eastern Med. Apparently its good for another 3958ft!

I shall be wearing my Fifty Fathoms to Thailand next month and that won't be locked in the hotel safe! Granted I'm not diving but snorkellng, jetskiing and so on it'll be getting worn the hole time.

Careful Lewis, you'll upset the AP!

Yep have done a couple of dozen dives in various places around the world wearing a breitling chrono longitude without any issues - watch is fine - my ears are in a less good state so have stopped diving

AP for the pool and bar, FF for the beach and watersports (oo-er) and JLC for the restaurants. All bases covered and the watch travel case allows one more for the fun of it. Haven't decided yet

I use my suunto dive computer.

.. wouldnt risk diving with a really expensive watch [in case dropped or damaged ]

[TobyLaRohne]

I think if you're a qualified diver there is no reason atall to take it off for diving.

[Miguel Alvarez]

I did a couple of diving lessons in a deep pool a while back. I didn't have the Sub at the time but wore the Exp 2. Got down to 9 meters. Wooohoo go me lol.

No reason not to.

[audidoody]

Diving with my £4,000 14060M Sub would be pointless.

It doesn't display depth, calculate surface time, log dives, include a safety stop timer and have a fast ascent alarm like my £175 Mares wrist computer.

This happens quite often when you've nothing to do. You can jump the ROV for a 'test' any time you like
