Mares Nemo...I have the Titanium which you can get sometimes off ebay for the same price as the steel...still, they are not the cheapest things. The lady is extra....






Description: If it's the sexiest dive computer around you are after then this is the one for you. The Nemo is the most complete dive computer-watch in the world, offering all functions for dives with or without decompression and also for Nitrox mixtures. For free-diving enthusiasts, it also offers the special "free-dive" mode, specially designed to meet the needs of the most demanding deep divers. TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS • RGBM Mares-Wienke: latest-generation algorithm to reduce the risks related to the formation of micro-bubbles. • The inclusion of Deep Stops (decompression stops at greater depths) and an ascent rate readout both analog and digital, make dives as safe as possible. • Extremely simple and intuitive (easy access) to easily utilize all functions, both as a watch and as a dive computer. • The only one with four dive modes: Air, Nitrox, Bottom time, and the special Free dive function. • "Sapphire coating" on the glass. • Steel buttons • Hypoallergenic rubber strap • Strap extension for use with drysuits • The watch menu includes: Precise and convenient stopwatch with option for partial times and a second time setting, ideal for frequent travelers.

But the Nemo looks much cooler.

The New Oceanic and Aeris computers can be used as freedive watches and are small enough to wear to the office. Also, check out the Citizen Aqualand 20th Anniversary dive watch: Citizen 20th Anniversary Aqualand JV0020-04E [JV0020-04E] - US$320.00 : Low Price Genuine Watches. Casio, Citizen, Hamilton, DKNY, Emporio Armani, SuperChrono

Measures depth. Beautiful watch. Kinda big, but unless you are in the boardroom, that doesn't matter much.

The Invicta looks like a Citizen Promaster Diver Aqualand III and what they call the Eco-zilla. The Citizen version would probably be cheaper. Though, the Invicta does look nice. I like the bezel on the Invicta better.

I checked out the Oris Carlos Coste Chronograph yesterday when I took my watch in for repairs.

It's a beast. It has a really high profile and would be really heavy if it wasn't titanium. I liked how the buttons were to the left of the dial.



The Oris site has a neat 360 view and video.

don't want to spoil anyones fun with cool watches, but for freediving you must at least have:
- dive time (how long you were under)
- depth
- surface time (how long you have been on top since last dive)

Anything less is useless for freediving/spearfishing.

Does the above do this?

Obviously not, but it does have a Helium valve.
