Whether you are just starting Scuba diving or a seasoned veteran owning your own scuba diving watch is something you may want to consider. Regardless if you own your own tank, buoyancy compensator, weight belt and octopus rig owning a scuba diving watch is one piece of personal equipment that is worth the investment.
Several companies make and sell scuba diving watches. The most fashion conscious scuba diver can find a watch to meet their desires. A quick search in your preferred search engine with the term scuba diving watch will yield more than enough sites as you shop for a watch. If you are seriously in the market for a scuba watch, here are a few suggestions as you shop.
The most important thing to consider when selecting a dive watch is a band that will fit over your wrist and a diving suit. While a band may comfortably fit your wrist it may not fit if you are wearing a bulky dive suit.
A big question to ask yourself is digital or traditional? Digital watches are easier to read and log time easier. Look for a digital watch with a brightly light background, water resistance to a minimum of 100 meters and buttons that can work underwater. Inexpensive examples include Casio and Timex, get them at retailers for $50 to $60.
A traditional watch is more expensive, $100 to 500$, and features are different. Look for a ratcheting bezel for depth time, a locking, watertight crown and water resistance to 100M to 200M. Hands that glow in the dark and are easy to see in murky water are a must. Test the bezel while wearing gloves so you can tell if it will turn easily with no extra effort. Seiko and Citizen make excellent dive watches and sell used for considerably less than a new watch.
If money is not an issue, fancy watches with on board computers, depth meters and bottom timers will cost in excess of $1,000 but loosing a watch of that value will hurt more than your pocketbook.
Ultimately, the decision belongs to the individual diver, but this short guide should give you a few pointers on what to look for in a dive watch to meet specific needs.

No, you don't need a certain body type to scuba dive. Because you use flippers to SCUBA dive, you can be a very lousy swimmer and learn to SCUBA dive. You may look stupid with a very tight wet suit during scuba diving, but you can dive. When I got certified, I learned that you have a very slightly higher chance of the Bends during scuba diving, but this is a small percentage. The pros of scuba diving outweigh the cons.
