How does a diver's watch work?
An essential accessory for experienced divers, the diver's watch has many uses.
Of course, it is used to give you the time but not only.
It will be used to measure the time you have spent underwater, but also the decompression stops you have crossed.
Several models of diver's watches for men or women are equipped with a very practical GPS for finding yourself and above all for analyzing your dive afterwards.
Among the essential elements of the diver's watch, there is the rotating bezel.
The latter is simple to use and lets you know at a glance how long you have been underwater.
Thanks to it, you can time the diving time and by extension the oxygen of your consumed bottle.
To use it, you have two options:
Place the small marker (marked by a triangle) on the start time of the dive: You will see how long you have been diving since the minute hand continues to advance;
Place the small mark on the desired time of the end of the dive: You will know if you are approaching the fixed deadline and if it is time to go back up.
Of course, the rotating bezel can be used for other everyday tasks if desired.
The criteria to choose a diving watch
As far as diving watches are concerned, while there are plenty of criteria to take into account to make an informed choice and buy a model that will serve you, you also have to adapt it to your practice.
If you dive little often and not very deeply, you will not have the usefulness of a watch that can go up to 300 meters deep.
So find out about the sealing capacities of your diving watch, so that they really suit you.
Also consider the bracelet.
Obviously, we forget the leather which would be damaged far too quickly by being immersed in water, which is moreover seawater. It is better to choose rubber, stainless steel or silicone.
Materials that are comfortable and suitable for submersion.
Pay particular attention to the resistance of your diver's watch.
It must be able to withstand the pressure of the water, but also the shocks if you get too close to rocks or hit your oxygen bottle.
The glass of the dial is to be watched with care.
If it scratches too quickly or scuffs, your watch will be almost useless.
Also check its good readability.
In the water, it can be very dark, if you do not see the needles, your automatic diving watch will not serve you much.
They are generally fluorescent to facilitate reading.
If you choose a model with an analog display, it must be backlit.
Finally, you will have to choose the movement, between mechanical and quartz.

How to maintain your diver's watch?
To take advantage of your diving watch as long as possible, it is essential to maintain it well.
To start, take it once a year to a watchmaker for a complete check-up.
The latter may verify that everything is fine and do the repairs which are necessary at the level of the parts concerned.
Regarding more daily maintenance, after each dive, remember to rinse your watch with clear water.
Whether used in the pool or in the sea, you have to rinse it so that it does not run into it.
You can also use a mild soap if dirt or deposits are present by rubbing gently with a small brush.
Finally, if your watch has a mechanical movement, check the water resistance of the crown so that water does not infiltrate.
