Note that hardly anyone has actually used those "dive" watches for diving in decades. A wealthy, fashion-conscious diver might wear a dive watch while traveling to the dive site, but for actual diving they'll take it off (don't want it lost or scratched!) and bring a cheaper modern digital dive computer (which might come in wristwatch format for certain models, thus further confusing the terminology). In diving circles, if you mention "dive watch" then most people will assume you're talking about a Shearwater or Garmin rather than some Swiss toy. |

Yeah, the line about them is that they are ‘desk divers’!
I have the idea that plenty of folks do still use them for diving, but of course I could be wrong — it’s not a community I am much around.
