This morning Mr Globe Fish asked me the time, so I looked at my computer and dive watch.
Only one of them could tell me the time without needing to scroll to an alternate display ;-)
Young Mr Pt Jackson Shark didn't care what time it was because sharks are the Chuck Norris of the oceans
:-)
Showoff.
Doesn't seem to show the time that wrist computer thingy
Which is why he's wearing a dive watch so there is no need to change the display on the "thingy". As he said in his post.Originally Posted by jrpippen

Always good to see a watch being used as designed.
Why is the time important when diving?
Good idea to have the watch as a backup if computer fails, even for decomp in the old fashion way.
I had an appointment following the morning dive (a buyer coming to see a car I am selling), so yes, I needed to keep an eye on my time. I ended the dive at around 80 mins with 100bar in the tank because I didn't want to be late.
Tracking time is as important when diving as it is when not diving.

Why is an appointment less important if I dive?
Our posts keep crossing (and I deleted my post) but okay, can see your point.
I was thinking of the few divers I know who do it on holiday or a special trip. They would never have anything else to rush back for!
I'm fortunate to live on the coast so I can squeeze a shore dive in between other things. The site I dived on in those pics is only 20mins from my house.
Same reason they were a Pilot's watch when flying😄
Kiddin aside, great pics.
Now you really are showing off! But seriously great pictures- thanks!
Nice Orient. I've got an m-force, but seeing your photos makes me want to 'upgrade' to its bigger brother.
You can go off people you know ;-) Nice pics, hope your sale went well.
Resurfacing time for departure when on a boat, same for collection by RIB, pick-up by land transport, dive centre requirement for cylinder recharging, tide times, time until sunset (photography thing) and most important of all: when the bar’s open.

Love your pics Bedlam!
Great pics. I always wear a watch too - sometimes when diving you just want to know the time...
Great pictures, love Mr Globe!
I was just thinking that myself... :D
Thanks guys.
I'll mention the Hirsch Extreme on the Orient. Its perfect for that watch. Its the first rubber strap I've had that balanced the Orient so well. Its also a very good dive strap having used it on several dives now. It makes me wonder if I would bother with spending even more on an Isofrane.
Fantastic pics.
I have to admit that when I go snorkelling I wear a watch for the sheer novelty of being able to see the hands go around when it's a mere 2 feet under water. I may never get to 300 metres but I want some value from the watch. Maybe I also might look a bit cooler on the beach.
Diving is a great hobby/pastime but i'll only go to 300 metres if I'm buried at sea!
