Affordable/Durable 300m Dive Watch.

[Drudge]

Looking for an affordable (less than $400) yet very durable dive watch rated at least 300m. I have an OM but i dont want to risk it crapping out at 10m thus i need a greater rated dive watch thats both affordable and durable, thx.

I don't think you have to worry about a Seiko OM "crapping out" at 10m .

That said, if you don't mind quartz, you might look at the Seiko SBBN007. Very tough tool watch, and at your price point.

Best, Mike W.

Citizen "Ecozilla" 300M Titanium or S/S. I'd recommend the Ti version.

I agree. The OM is about as bulletproof as you can get for the money. The only recurring issue with lower-end Seiko auto movements is accuracy.

The SBBN007 is a superb choice. Without a doubt the best value watch I have ever owned. At the current exchange rate, it is $390 shipped from Higuchi in Japan.

That seiko or citizen would definitely do the job nicely, thank you all.

I'll second the Tissot Seastar 1000 or maybe an Orsa Sea Angler.

Another one worth checking is the Citizen Eco-Drive (BN0000). It is rated at 300m.
