Do we know how many certified divers there are in the universe?
Shouldn't we poll them given they are the intended end users of the product?
Would diving in a gas giant and having the watch disintegrate affect the performance?
How about melting on Venus?
Can it handle the terrible cold temperatures of diving under the frozen shell of Europa?

Due to the aforementioned, this poll is flawed.

Of course this is largely irrelevant since A) the closest AD is roughly 200 light years away B) The intergalactic exchange rate means that the base model costs approximately the entire gross financial output of the planet Earth for around 125 years and C) You have the wrong number of arms to operate it properly anyway.

That's all very well, but do you get a Diet Coke when you buy one?

i think by adding cyclops the watch lost some points , it also true that red line makes the watch more appealing. Can't see a clear winner , love the 2 colors of the Cameron one , also love the AP diver. Yeah I can't name a favorite , all are nice in they're own right.

Why are there so many no answers in the poll, quite clearly it is! For me the Fifty Fathoms is the dive watch though.

It represents an excellent value as well...for anyone who regularly dives at 3-4000 ft.

Of course, it's a Rolex diver. Any and all Rolex divers are at the top of their game. Would expect nothing less from the inventor of the Oyster.

Why would anyone go diving with a watch on?

So you can see the date, in case you forget - hence the cyclops.

These would be great questions to ask in the inevitable "is it safe" polls that will come up.........

I love it. Wish it had a rubber strap option.
I have one too, great watch. I called Everest Bands and Rubber B, both say they will have one by early next year.
