Scuba Diving Watches

These dive watches are well-under a thousand dollars, most (or all?) are under $500. This group right below were chosen because their users were very impressed with the quality, aside from the price.

Invicta makes a line of men's dive watches, the Invicta Pro Diver Men's Dive Watch Collection which is WAY under $1000 -- I think generally they range from $50 to $150. They are rated as water-resistent to 100 meters.

The customer reviews on Amazon were surprisingly good for these dive watches. But I realized that's because if the watch worked fairly well, people LOVED it and gave it a 5-star rating. Sprinkled through the 5 star ratings are a fair number of comments about the quality not being so great -- a piece breaking off; the time not being particularly accurate; the water-resistent feature of the watch not really working. One man said he washed his dog and now the inside of the watch face was fogged with water droplets. A few customer reviews mocked the label 'Pro Diver' saying that no scuba pro would wear such a watch.

My feeling is that if you are buying this watch for yourself and like the looks of one of the Invicta dive watches, then maybe it's worth a try. But I would not buy one of these to give as a watch to your favorite scuba diver, there is too much chance that they will find the watch unusable.

The Invicta's Pro Diver Collection included some of the hottest-selling men's dive watches in 2011. I'd love to see them offer a slightly higher quality watch in 2012. Heck they could double their prices and still compete.

If you are willing to crack the 4-figure price tag, the scuba diving watches for sale become QUITE impressive indeed. Here are two fantastic scuba diving watches, that we found in the $1000 - $5000 price range.

Yes, these watches cost a lot, but if you can afford the very best, then you'll want to look at these premium scuba diving watches.

If you were shopping for a watch for your favorite scuba diver, but have decided that these watches are more than what you wanted to spend, here are some other possible gifts for scuba divers.
