Buying a diving watch as a present and have no idea where to start. Looking to spend £80-£150. It's for a man.
Thanks in advance.
Seiko SK007 or similar?
For diving or wearing down the pub?
My first suggestion would be Seiko, although Casio watches are pretty water-resistant, they do tend to be a bit over-complicated. A proper divers watch has a simple, clear dial with a rotating bezel.
These two are mine, a 1980's TAG, and my Seiko SPORK.

Both would be way outside your budget, but that's the sort of style you should be looking for.
Here's a bunch that are somewhere around your budget, so take your pick! 😀

For actually diving Apeks and Mares are two brands worth looking at around that price.

or, £85 from Simply Scuba gets you "the ultimate diving watch. It has a tough stainless steel bezel and mineral glass for fantastic strength and a [b]helium escape valve [/b]which opens when the internal pressure is higher than the external pressure"

Momentum Deep six.
Citizen pro master Aqualand - assuming he actually wants it for diving rather than fashion. It's a bit over budget but will provide dive log useful data.
Otherwise the world is your oyster if what you're looking for is a waterproof chunky watch.
Seiko auto diver around £125. You won't get a better looking, reliable watch for such little money

If it's for diving, he wants a dive computer. Simple watch is for backup so you don't have bail out of a dive because the computer packs in. That being the case, simple is best. Chunky rotating bezel, good luminosity on the hands, long stretchy rubber strap
Most divers wear citizen but I have broken my Eco drive numerous times, it was replaced three times under warranty. On that basis, get any respectable dive watch, if it was me I'd get this....
