Do you dive with your Seiko diver?
I will sheepishly admit that I can barely swim, so I do not dive. I do like the look of Seiko divers.
Any heroic stories of diving with Seikos with the watch fending off sharks? |

I dove with my Turtle PADI in the Bahamas in May. Worked great as a backup timer to my dive computer.

not a Seiko but I took my Omega Seamaster diving recently. All of my work colleagues were like "why spend all that money on a watch then take it diving" Think they were missing the divers watch part of the watch.

I swim and free dive with my Samurai in the Great Lakes. It has worked perfectly.

I don't dive, but I swim with my SRP779 constantly. I've gotten knocked over by waves and slammed the watch into the beach several times and the watch just needs the sand washed out of the bezel
