However most sport diving doesn’t go much beyond 20 m, and I’m pretty confidant it’ll survive that.

I have a DJI Action 3 camera that is waterproof down to 16 m...

Ok, update!!

Sinn U2 now worky!!

I made a few enquiries in HCMC and was told of a watch service/repair place. Communication was difficult but I got a good feeling from the guy.

I am aware that certain Seikos response positively to this solution (see my comment above), but I haven’t got the balls to drop my pride and joy on a tiled floor again. However I did give it a few...

Hey, not as dumb as it sounds!!

I collect Seiko dive watches amongst other things, and I t’s a well-documented solution with some automatic Seiko divers (SKX etc), where a bump can get the...

But as I get older I am much more open...

Love these.

First saw one on the wrist of our electronics teacher / swimming club coach at school in the early 80’s. Didn't know too much about watches then, but the size, shape and red button...

Enjoy!!
