90% of the people use dive computers (owned or rented), and 90% of the rest use basic G-Shocks you are lucky to see anyone with a mechanical timepiece (which almost always happens to be made by Seiko).

I don't doubt that there are people who don't worry about that kind of money: the watch blogs are full with people discussing diving with their Rolexes and Omegas, but I have never seen anyone doing that in real world. Unclear what happens when you stop paying. My main device requires a trip to Switzerland every 10-15 years, and my backup device is serviced locally every 3 years or so having a "two full days battery life" somewhat pales in comparison.įinally, $10 a month is pretty expensive, especially when it comes on top of $700 down payment. Third, battery life is a concern here, while it almost never is with dedicated dive computers. As this device comes under "life support equipment" category, I would love to see more information about that. Buhlmann, Suunto RGBM, VPM are examples of algorithms where the assumptions about human physiology are backed by hundreds of thousands of dives, but what is driving this specific piece is kind of a mystery. Second, there's no mention of the decompression algorithm they use. Most of the serious folks use this mix (basically, air enriched with some more oxygen) for their dives, it's unclear if - or to what extent - this supports Nitrox. I have more than 500 dives under my weight belt, and I have a (regular) Apple watch, but I'm skeptical.įirst, there's no mention of Nitrox anywhere (except in a screenshot). I made a backup (back then, that was actually feasible because rooting was easy, another personal gripe I have with recent Android), went up to the retailer and had it shipped in - a week later I had a brand new device and a written apology that the product was not up to spec.
Actually had to do that with a CAT phone many years back when I worked in construction, a simple fall on a floor slab broke the screen. A modern digital watch however? Space is scarce so every cubic millimetre is packed with solid incompressible materials, making it way easier to withstand higher pressure.

The hardest thing with anything underwater is pressure differential anyway - old analog watches have a lot of air inside which is compressible, which means you need strong seals and construction to avoid the pressure differential to simply crack the case. I get the feeling of it being too expensive - but technically? If anything is to be expected from Apple, it is to under-promise on advertised specifications, and at least here in Europe, under consumer protection laws I can hold Apple accountable for not delivering upon their spec. > That being said, I can't personally imagine taking the Apple Watch Ultra to, say, 80-90 feet if it's only rated to 130. It probably makes sense to people - "oh they don't want to be liable for giving advice past recreational limits", but other companies seem to have navigated this legal issue and choose to provide accurate information regardless of this arbitrary limit.Īs another commenter pointed out, I have no idea what it does past 130 feet, but the disclaimer that it _cannot_ be used past 130 feet, rather than one that says you _shouldn't_ use it past 130 feet, is somewhat concerning to me, even if I don't approach those limits. I would simply have philosophical concerns about a piece of equipment that could provide accurate information beyond recreational limits, but simply doesn't for "legal" reasons. Just wouldn't _buy_ it for that purpose myself, I think there are better options if you research a bit.Īlso, I never dive past recreational limits, I'm not a technical diver by any means. And will be happy to see it on the wrists of other divers on the boat, as I think it will make them safer vs the status quo.
Would be happy to have just this on a 60 foot dive.
