I don't dive I snorkel a lot - but I do use the bezel for a seconf time-zone when abroad (saves setting the time) and having OCD its always dead centre so I set it slightly off when I need to remember something important
I just remembered another use for my diving bezel - timing dog walks. I do this two or three times daily. Together with daily lesson timings the bezel on my Shark Diver gets lots of use.
I use mine to, erm, time dives!
I use it daily; normal use is to mark when parking time ends, when eggs are boiled, when I started...something etc. "Weird" use I have found is to count drinks in pub. Idea is to turn bezel 5mins/1hr interval per pint/can/shot.
Works just perfectly, specially later on evening...if having some...hmmm...difficulties to remember. :p

I use mine to signal to the mrs that i want some nookie. Seriously.
I use it every once and a while to time something. Mostly my boiled eggs :)
parking meters all the time
Actually, I find uni-directional bezels very useful IRL. Lot more than chronos.
Mainly for cooking, parking etc. Very quick and handy.
Sea fishing casts and driving breaks at work!
I like a divers bezel for handy and easily legible, rough and ready timing - even using the hour hand for approximate, non-critical timing of long duration recreational activities like country walks.
They are less useful for spontaneous and surreptitious timing. But mostly, I just like them for what they are.
I used it once, the day I got it. After that.....nah!
Twice a week - at least. (Yes - Cooking ;) )
Yes, I used the bezel on my dive watch about 5 years ago to remind me of the time I had put my pie in the oven ...counting down the 20 minutes. I remember thinking 'wow, that is pretty useful' ...and never used it again .
Nope, they do get wet occasionally...

can't swim so i leave it in a bucket of water every night to make sure its ok
The timer on the office microwave is certainly not COSC, sort of, it times ok but does not stop it from cooking. Perfect for timing lunch time Tesco City Kitchen Char Siu Bao, before it turns really stinks the place out :D
Yep, Never used any of mine for diving, but still love them, (As previous Eggs & Microwave dinners)
Honestly? No, never. I'd use my phone to time something.
