No one in Bali will care so take whichever one you wish and have fun. Earlier this year I was in Bali with a cheap Moxa I put together and somehow both it and I survived the demands of restaurants, beaches and pools.
Enjoy your visit!
I am lucky enough to be jumping on to a plane to Bali in a few hours for a week of sun, sand and sea! I am all packed so now I need to decide what watch to take.
I am definitely taking this
But the question is what else should I take? I will mostly be on the beach or by the pool with a little bit of diving thrown in but I usually use a dive computer for that. I need something that works on the beach but also in the restaurant in the evening.
I have this current collection to choose from.
Current thinking is to take the Black Bay as it covers most of the bases.
Thoughts?

Sounds amazing, have a great time :)
The Sinn or GMT would be my choice if a dive computer will be accompanying you into the depths.
I was in Bali a couple of months ago, I chose my Helson Blackbeard. I wouldn't take something too valuable there.
I'd go cheap and cheerful in Bali, having had a few things go missing there on one occasion. Probably the other G-Shock from your box. Personally I would take a PRS-82 and a couple of NATOs for variety. Have a great time!
You are already taking a good watch. It does not really matter what watch you choose as your number 2. Just pick the one you find most appealing.
Take the AP, get swarmed by girls.

I'm thoughts would be the AP diver too! Robust enough for diving and holiday!!
enjoy your holiday
Take the Zebra G-Shock.
I think it's snazzy.
I had my 216570 explorer II with me when we visited Bali earlier in the year. What an amazing place
Enjoy!
Wear anything, but make sure that if you're in Seminyak you eat at Mamasan, Mejikawi and La Lucciola (and Naughty Nuri's aka Hog Wild); if you're in Unud you grab a slot at Locavore, and whatever the case you spend at least a couple of days on Gili Air (it's 2h by boat)!

Away in Bali for a week ? What's your address ?!!
GMT Pepsi stunning!
just the one casio, when you get there take it off and enjoy your holiday.
the day of your return put it back on to help you get to the airport on time.
Don't take any from ur box and get yourself a 6309 7040 when youre there.
Fantastic. I love Bali to bits - been there five times this year!!
Mejikawi is 12-course fine dining, Hog Wild is the best ribs you'll ever have, La Lucciola is an amazing Italian restaurant with the most romantic setting (highly recommended), Mamasan is modern Thai/Indo with some very full-on flavours, Merah Putih is top-notch Indo cuisine. You could also do a free-flow brunch at The W - that's always good fun.
For breakfast/brunch/coffee in Seminyak, I recommend the Fat Turtle, Sisterfields or Revolver.
If you want a day at a great beach club Potatohead is a must-do but it's getting a little hard to get seating there since they opened an adjoining hotel. I recommend Finns (a 15-minute taxi ride or so but much quieter).
Re the Gili Islands, Gili Air is my favourite as it's much less "party" than Gili T, so if you want a day of chilling out and walking round a (relatively) unspoilt island offer any bloke with a boat (the hotels rip you off for transfers) IDR100-200k or so to take you over for the day. Check out the sunset at around 6.30pm from the Grand Sunset hotel - IMHO it's the best spot in Bali/Gilis for it, absolutely stunning.
Also make sure you do some quality snorkelling on the Gilis (get a private boat for minimal premium), the water's crystal clear and the scenery is amazing. I've run into very large turtles a couple of times, on my last trip right outside my hotel!

I dont know Bali, but if the place is reasonably safe, I would take the Black Bay.
I am a GShock fan, but wouldn't touch this zebra thing...
The G shock is all you need man!
I'd take Nitol with you. That time difference is a killer for the first few days.
One of my favourite countries and I always stay at the Samaya in Seminyak.
I took this last year
I'd wear one of the larger divers - probably the AP as you have the G-Shock covered.
It's just a matter of time...
Thanks, ddm27: I'm going there myself on Thursday! Are any of those places near Nusa Dua? A few of us are celebrating a birthday on Friday night and need to work out where to go!

Could someone please turn my post into a picture.
From someone that has something applicable to post and sort of related to the op
Holiday was perfect thanks! Took the AP Diver and the G Shock and both served me well.
I really do love Bali and I will definitely go back for my third time next year, I highly recommend Seminyak it is such a great place with many lovely hotels and villas and a great choice of restaurants, cafes and bars.
I always stay at Hu Villas which I can highly recommend but there is loads of great accommodation and I also would recommend spending some time at Finns Beach Club which is truly awesome!
The Rolex deep sea in my opinion
