It's one way to get into underwater photography / cinematography.  The Patima flyer even indicates you can accept sms.  Let's see when production models come our way from Korea.

 

If you have to take your data everywhere you go, then this should be on your christmas wish list. The Corsair Flash Survivor is durable, shock resistant and waterproof to 200 meters.

I don't like...
a bit pricey
a bit bulky

Whether you are in a boardroom meeting or diving from a liveaboard, this watch will make you look and feel good.  It is the Patek Philippe Geneve Aquanaut Ref. 5167/1.

Buying a watch should be considered as a jewelry purchase.  The inherent value of the metals and minerals used in manufacture does not equal the price.   What you are getting in return for your money is the craftsmanship and elegance of the Swiss horological tradition.  Some people think this is an investment or a hedge against inflation, though Swiss watches seem to retain a high percentage of their value, it is not a profitable place to splurge your assets.  Of course there are exceptions,  some people have profited from auctions for Patek Philippe ultra complicated limited edition watches but these are rare and you have to know what you are doing before making the financial commitment.

When scuba was in its infancy, divers used dive watches to measure their bottom time.  Presently, most divers use the convenient dive computers or digital bottom timers to measure not only their bottom time but a multitude of other vital data.  It must be said though that the Dive Watch

still plays a role in my diving.  I use a mechanical watch for pool sessions when teaching NAUI Courses, as a backup to my computer on regular scuba dives, use the seconds hand to time decompression stops and as a daily timepiece when shopping in malls.
