With the 2016 Summer season officially kicking-off next week on June 20th and millions of Americans planning deep-sea diving vacations, we’re focusing on affordable diver’s watch essentials under $500 for your timepiece collection.

A true diver’s watch should be water-resistant to 200 meters or more and feature both a screw-down crown and case back to ensure that no water or moisture enters the inner chamber of the watch. The watch case and band material should be impervious to salt water to not rust or corrode. Both stainless steel and titanium are excellent metal choices, while rubber and silicone are excellent strap materials for deep-sea diving.
