    Absolutely the watch I would buy if the Apple Watch Ultra didn’t exist, proper beast of a device

    The battery’s insane mate. Haven’t charged it for a week and still have 30% left. Still haven’t got a clue how to work it tho 🤣

    C60 Trident Pro 300


    They do a 38mm
    I had seen those, but just a bit too similar to most other 'dive' watches.

    I'm looking for a new holiday watch, but struggling........

    As I'm going away more and more I'm looking for a watch that's fine for swimming and even a little scuba diving.

    I have some decent Rolex's and Omega's but looking for something less valuable that won't matter so much if it gets a bit knocked around, max £1k. Needs are:

    38mm max (I have small wrists!)
    300m waterproof
    ideally quick change strap (i.e. I'd like to switch between metal and rubber)
    Ideally automatic, but not totally against Quartz for this one
    Not your usual 'Dive Watch' style Ala submariner/seamaster.

    Any thoughts?
    Have a look at Baltic, I've just got one and really pleased with it, do some smart dive watches and get a decent bang for your buck

    Thanks, some of those look interesting/a little different
  • Zelos are ridiculously good value. They ship from Singapore and take 5-7 days to arrive so no good if you need it "now". I've got a couple of theirs and love them.

  • Ooo..... there's a few there, very nice.

    My thoughts are..

    A "£1k (max) 'Holiday Watch' ".

    Jeepers.   I've heard it all now. 

    Hope you have a nice break though.

    Won't be just for one holiday and will be worn at other times! The latest Apple Watch is £800! And this watch would last a damn sight longer than one of those!

    @Rob7Lee Sorry if my comment came across a bit.. well I don't know.  Reading back, not happy with how it landed.   I seem to be good at that now and then..  🤦🏻‍♂️

    Anyways.    Enjoy all the watches!  That's what this thread is for after all!

    I just purchased a Timex deepwater watch.

    Nothing to expensive but the quality is really good for the outlay, obvioulsy not as good as the big brands but add to that, I doubt anyone will be snatching off my wrist appealed too.

    If you can forgive 200m instead of 300m, I would suggest the Doxa Sub 200. Loads of colours and strap options available. It is a 42mm watch, but with a lug to lug of only 46mm it will wear a lot smaller.

    SUB 200
  • I’m currently looking to add a sports watch to my collection of one (a Tissot T-Complication Squelette) and I have had my eye on this one:



    However, while checking on availability here in France I came upon this one, I really like it and now I’m stuck!



    Help!

    Yes Timex do good watches at the price point, but alas most are too big for my skinny wrists.

    Same with the Doxa @ross

    I hope you’ve got some tree trunk wrists mate 😄

  • The Hamilton Khaki scuba range could also be an option. It's only 100m but it does come in 37mm

    Just maybe a little to like my Omega and only 100m, big fan of Tissot though.

    Yer I'd sort of discounted that because of the 100m.

    I'm landing on this currently, although had to up the budget :-)

    They do a cheaper quartz version. Then I saw this:
