The Dive Watch Connection

I'm going to go the other way and vote for the Shogun, but I'm hedging my vote by saying the Seiko Shogun is probably a better watch to use while diving. I am not saying the Seiko is a better watch. Yes, the Pelagos has a better bracelet, but I don't wear a bracelet diving. I wear a rubber strap or...

I can't bring myself to give the prat any clicks

Will they also be apologising for their product before they go??

My daughter has a 13" ASUS ZenBook that she seems to love. Does have a touch screen though. I'm not totally opposed to one but I just don't really want/need it and that option seems to really add a lot to the cost Yeah. I admit to seeing touch screens as superfluous too...but they are actually more...

I don't really want a Chromebook or anything apple.

Responses are....

...chrome book... and ...12” MacBook...

LOL

Nope

The bigger issue I have is when the date isn't well centered, whatever time it arrives!

I wish I saved the screen capture of the Google street View image of their US location. It was a very modest home in a rural area of a southern state. I hate to see any business go under, but it does make sense. They didn't seem to expand their designs beyond their core theme (from what I noticed -...

They'll always be Aquajive to me.

This^^^^

I do remember them forgetting to put a lume pip on the bezel of their first dive watch.

And being told to "be the wolf!" by one of their inner-circle-jerks as a response to criticisms. LOL

Shogun. Nuff said.

Yup, agree

I like my U1 but its not in the same ballpark as my Supermarine.

I agree with Joe. The biggest problem the 301 has is that the SM500 is better looking and has a proper dive bezel. No diver ever needed lume. Lume requirements are in the ISO and desk divers love it, but I have never needed it in my entire dive career. If you are entering an environment that is low-...

Technically then even their MM300 or Tuna doesn't have the full 60 minute marks, but is in their Professional line, but the Sumo does. Yup. The Solar Chrono and BFK are compliant too. There doesn't appear to be a pattern. http://www.wellnet.com.au/pics/Seiko%20SSC021P1%20Rubber%2005-05-2012%201.jpg...

Worn & Wound have now updated the article.

Good on them :-)

What about on the monster? What do you use as a visual clue for the 43, 47,28, 32, 17 minute marks. Your interpretation seems to only support my conclusion that it is a poorly written spec. One could easily argue that using the dial minute marks is sufficient to determine that minute mark your on t...

He knows I agree with him re the Seiko Monster bezel. It's not compliant. Actually we don't agree. I'm saying that the Seiko does meet compliance because the vagueness of the spec allows for interpretation that not every minute has to be marked. Fair enough. I don't think the ISO is vague. I think ...

Juan and I have had this discussion before. I'm not sure why he is acting like we haven't. He knows I agree with him re the Seiko Monster bezel. It's not compliant. Seiko have 2 dive bezels; the 62MAS style (as used on the Turtle/SKX) and the fully indexed one (as seen on the Shogun). Like the Subma...

The spec is very poorly written. A minute scale does not necessarily imply that every minute must be marked. Reinforced by the fact that it only states that every five minutes be clearly marked. A track that is clearly marked every five minutes is still a minute track. They should hire someone who ...

Worn & Wound talking about ISO and DIN compliance when making tool watches. All good, until they quote the old dive watch ISO instead of the current one. http://wornandwound.com/making-a-tool-watch-a-basic-guide-to-iso-din-and-related-industry-standards/ I posted a critical comment suggesting they c...

What would people's cheapest 'one watch' be?

For me, probably the Shogun.

I bet the movements are more reliable in these

What problem does Bremont have with movements?

I've not heard anything. My Supermarine has run flawlessly and is the most accurate mechanical in my collection.
