My Citizen Eco Drive packed in after about 2.5 years. And I only got it because I thought I could save on having batteries changed, which is a pain with dive watches.

So I bought an Omega

My last Eco Drive was the 200 mtr basic job which lasted 7 years until it was stolen. My new Eco Drive (Model BN0000-04H) which is the new 300 metre model, was bought 2 month ago and spot on. Comes with a five year guarantee in the UK. For a competitive price check out these sites: http://www.watersportswarehouse.co.uk/ishop/893/shopscr925.html

Absolutely what he said.

Last 4 dives. Time in, duration, max depth, temp etc.
Current depth (on dive), average depth, duration.

Depth alarm - VERY good if on Nitrox
Time alarm - VERY good anyway, time to come home warning:-)

Analogue local time and digital overseas time, saves a lot of hassle with
early am phone calls.

Cheapest abroad would be about £150, UK should be over £200+ with a
shop around.

Comes in a whole range of coloured faces, but dont get the green or white
ones, sun bleaches them. Black or the blue above is fave.

Yeah, but it's really too chunky to look good as an every day watch, and for the money you can buy at least a dive timer if not a dive computer.

Must admit, if I'm diving dry, I don't wear my watch. Only leave it on when I'm on holiday.

Mine had a 2 year waranty. Packed in after 2.5 years. The strap had a 12 month warranty. I believe it lasted 13 months. After that I went for the free watch with Diver subscription which seemed liked better value.

I'll have to have a look at the Citizen I think... looks like I'd better be quick too, as you lot are going to snaffle them all!

Brilliant response... thanks for your help

I get mine done by these people: The Watch Lab | Quality Watch Repairs - Branches

Battery and pressure test was about £25 last year.
