Default Re: diving watches

Remember every one has a different point of view. Mine is:
A scuba diving watch should be analogical (no digital numbers) because it it faster and easier to interpret for the brain. You should be able to time your dive, see your maximum depth, see the actual depth. This is the minimum... max depth alarm and alarm for fast ascent are a plus. You will find all that in the Citizen Aqualand Analog. Digital watches will have the ability to log some dives. In fact a diving watch should be waterproof until 200m and be able to time your dive, all the rest are plus. I like the fluorescent background. You just need to light it briefly with your torch before you look at it and you will be able to read it without having to keep your torch blinding you. You can choose a fluorescent version for nearly all citizens.
