is this an adequate watch for diving? what does the depth reading go to?

Not sure. I do not think so but would check with the online info from the manufacturer

No. Most of these have a water resistance of only 30 meters. You require a minimum of 200 meters (300 preferred) for a dive watch. It's more of the pressure exerted on the watch rather than the actual depth. With 30 meters rating you'd probably be safe washing your hands.

Have not dove with it yet....The altimeter functions very well and is accurate.

Simple answer NO, I do not like this trainer watch for that reason. It has 3 sesnitivity levels and they are either off by too much distance for high sensitivity lor to little for moderate or low sensitivity. And I mean off by a LOT.

I bathe/shower with my watch on all the time. It does state that the watch is waterproof up to 30 m in a pool but i definitely wouldn't recommend any deep sea diving with this watch on.

I use the standard housing to dive with. I had it around 140ft with no problems. The red filter is a must. I did not use the macro lense much though.

Yes the depth works fine. The side imaging doesn't work well at high speed.

You might want to buy the MPKAS3 which includes both the casing and the depth door. It's what I dive with and goes to 200ft (60m) or somesuch. I've personally traken it down to 100 feet (30m).

This is my 3rd heart rate monitor and the 3rd one that says it's NOT to be used swimming. The watch is fine, provided you don't press any buttons while submerged but I haven't found a heart rate monitor strap that's OK to swim in. I would guess that higher end HRM watches & straps (>$100) are fine for swimming.

It is water resistant, but I don't think I would keep it submerged for long periods of time. It's like a water proof watch. It's only water proof so far under water.

the specs on the camera are waterproof to 18m/59ft, shock proof to 2m/2.2ft., freeze proof to -10*c/14*f. i only use it while snorkeling, so i cannot give a first hand review of its capabilities while diving with it. for snorkeling, it works great! any deeper than that i imagine you would need a bigger flash to capture any color. i also have to make sure to change the settings to underwater before taking the camera in the water.

Per the user manual on water resistance: "WATCH * Your 30 meter water resistant watch withstands water pressure to 60psi * The Watch is only water resistant as long as the lens, pushbuttons, and case remain intact * Timex recommends rinsing your watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water WARNING: to maintain water resistance, do not press any buttons under water. SENSOR * Your 30 meter water resistant Personal Heart Rate Sensor withstands water pressure to 60psi. WARNING: This unit will not display your heart rate when operated under water." If you're going to do a LOT of pool aerobics I'd say there are probably better options out there simply because this watch is designed to be water resistant, not water PROOF and you'd hate to spring the cash just to accidentally press a button in the pool and scramble the whole works. I've not had a problem getting mine wet with sweat/rain but chlorine is substantially more damaging and I'd worry about the equipment.

No actually works pretty good would recommend the only problem is the camera moved on my dive and the line of sight was slightly lower than where I was looking so I missed a lot of activity.

I don't know about deep sea diving! But I have used it swimming and it works perfect. I would check the specs and see how deep you can go down with it, Or contact the manufacture.

I wouldn't wear this to work, it's not designed to be a casual watch and it isn't the right size or design for sure. The watch will turn off after a certain amount of time out of the water (20 minutes if I recall correctly).The Suunto D4i and D6i would be better for casual wear.

I personally have found it accurate between 50-125, my extremes. Occasionally is temperamental, but it is my favorite watch now. The expensive ones sit in a drawer.

It does work. Needs calibration when new, but this just involves rotating the watch several times. I would not recommend it for precise measurements, but good enough for casual hiking. If you need serious guidance a precision compass is a better choice.

Hi, it is waterproof. It says it on the instructions and I also swam in it yesterday so it was submerged in water for long periods of time and still worked. However (and this might not apply to what you're asking) my transmitter (around the chest) kept losing signal so I need to figure out if there's something I need to do better to avoid that. But the watch itself worked just fine under the water.

i used it for scuba diving, so even though there is no time limit, it was rarely in the water more than an hour at a time anyway, but some friends borrowed it for surfing and snorkeling. There was no problem. It's robust!
