![]() ![]() This watch is perfect for all water adventures!! While testing the Seiko, we used it across all of our ocean sports including, scuba, freediving, snorkeling, freestyle swimming, and even boogie boarding. Even if you already have a dive computer, this is a great watch to use as redundancy. Aside from the more technical divers who use mixed gases, the Seiko Prospex is appropriate for any diver from beginner to advanced. So many dive watches are over engineered and contain many more features than most divers ever use. We found this watch simple to use while diving. Whether we are freediving in the cold waters off La Jolla Cove or scuba diving the warm tropical waters of Bonaire we feel we will be able to count on this impressive Seiko. We found it to be extremely comfortable on our various wetsuits from 1mm to 8mm. Waterproof to 200m & a comfortable fitting band makes this a great watch for any of our dive outings. Everyone we meet seems impressed with the look of the watch. Bold, Functional & Stylish Dive WatchĮach time we don this watch and head out to the sea for a new adventure, other divers stop us to admire and ask questions about it. But the Seiko’s retro dial and numbers made this a non-issue for us. This is a very important feature for all divers, and can be a problem with some dive watches. While diving with this watch, it was easy to read even at depth. Because this watch does not require a battery, there is never concern of having your dive watch die when you are on the trip of your life. The iconic orange dial displays a date calendar with the special Seiko illuminated hands and markers. It is not easy to find a dive watch that is not only mechanical with a self-winding mechanism that keeps running up to 41 hours, but that also has a display that is easy to see at depth. With a retro looking black and orange one-way rotating elapsed timing bezel, this watch screams awesome. The Prospex Automatic Diver Watch, SRPB97, is a must have for any diver’s bag. ![]() Seiko, an icon in the time industry is bringing back a blast from the past. Test dives with these watches were going to be a lot of fun!!! We smiled at each other as we headed down the stairs to the water as other divers pointed at these very unique creations on our wrists. Stephanie went for the steel band which made the whole watch stand out and gave it a really cool tough dive girl look. Margo chose the black silicon band option which really made the watch face stand out. ![]() When we arrived at the famous La Jolla Cove for our first dive, we each had our Seiko. Super excited, we headed off to the La Jolla Ecological Reserve for some dives! This protected marine sanctuary is great for scuba diving and freediving and is a mecca for cute ocean critters. ![]() So when Seiko asked us to try out their Prospex Automatic Diver Watch, of course we said YES. We especially have fun trying out gear that’s new to us. This was going to look beautiful under the water against our black wetsuit! Not to mention when we are diving with the Garibaldi, the California State Marine fish, who is coincidentally the same color! How is that for fashion forward? When the dive watches arrived, our excitement grew when we saw the eye popping orange and black color combination of the bezel. ![]()
