Cheap, good dive watch
Fifth watch already... over the past 11 years. I have a more expensive Oceanic, but these watches are, by far, the most easy to use, understand, read and dive with. The durability is... okay, I suppose. Do NOT press any buttons underwater - they’ll stick and never work again afterwards. But you can bash the daylights out of this watch and it’ll still function. Put it this way - I like it so much, I bought one for my 14yo son.

A bit temperamental; but I just replaced battery, so I will wait and see
Lasted for about 8 or so different dive sessions (maybe 200 freedives) over a year or so. Depth usually seemed right. Water temp seemed way off at times, but I didn't compare it to others. Then the watch starting failing. I contacted the customer service, but it was out of warranty. They just suggested to take out and put back in the battery. I did so. It would work for a day or so and then stop working again. I did this a number of times, and then decided it wasn't good to repeatedly open up the watch, so I just set it aside. Quite a while later, I decided that maybe what it needed was a new battery. So I just replaced it, and it seems to work again. I'll update this review if it fails again. Otherwise, great price for the watch. If you can't afford a full dive computer, this once works fine for freediving, which is what I use it for, as I only need time and depth underwater. Stores 100 dives, which is nice.

Inaccurate as all hell and prone to buttons sticking which results in the screen turning off.
As I am a cheapo who doesn't do enough diving to justify an expensive watch, I thought this watch could be useful as a basic rough depth and time indicator. As a watch it's fine, however if I wanted something that was just a watch I'd have bought just a watch, or if I wanted a watch that spewed out random numbers I'd just have bought a calculator watch and periodically mush buttons randomly .The first day I got the watch I decide to test it in my 1.7m deep pool. Bam, turns out my pool magically grew to 2.9m! And then shrank again on the second dive down 1.6. After that they were within .2m. I could live with that. Easily.The next inaccuracy was the day afterwards. Let's go for a freedive I said, it'll be fun I said, we can know roughly how deep we go I said.As soon as I entered the water and was making my way towards the site, the dive mode kicked in. The mode that's only supposed to turn on when you are below 1.5m of water. I was barely below the surface, in all seriousness the watch would have been, at a maximum, 30cm (1 foot for you imperialies) below the surface.So how do I know how far down I went I hear you ask? Literally no idea is my reply.On the next day of christmas, my dive watch gave to me a stuck-in button that was faulty. (Read to the tune of 12 days of christmas). As I'm not a complete cretin, and I like to get my moneys worth out of things, I always rinse off my gear in freshwater after going for a splash in the sea. This watch was no exception, I dunked it in a bowl of freshwater and pressed the buttons. Later that night, as I was dozing off, I checked my watch for the time. And it was blank. Turns out if you hold a button in for a while the screen turns off. This isn't super fantastic if the buttons are prone to sticking when accidentally pressed. Which they are on this watch.On the plus side I ordered if with Amazons express shipping and it came so much earlier than I was expecting. That's where the extra star comes from!So in conclusion. If you want an oversized time telling piece that also has the date, a stopwatch and a countdown timer that all work fine unless a button sticks, this is the watch for you. If you want to accurately measure how deep you've been and how long you've been under for, it is probably worth spending a bit more money. I've been trying to learn for so long that usually buying cheap means buying twice, but I love a bargin.ThanksAndrew MortimerEDIT!Wow, so I've now had this for 2 months, and, apparently, for the last 24 hours I've been under 3.3metres of water. Honestly, what the s***? Watch is clearly buggered and I'm about to begin the long, arduous and, most likely, unsatisfactory process of getting my money back. Damn you Pyle!

Must have for snorkeling, free diving, or scuba diving.
Great watch. Bought it for my son (12 years old) 8 months ago. The original watch was defective, but got it warrantied with no problem. (Didn't like that I had to pay shipping both ways). We went scuba diving today. Worked great. Stored all the information for both dives. Everything is automatic. My son didn't have to do anything. It even warned us when we were going up to fast. The price was the best part. All other watches were over $200. Worked great for snorkeling before our dive. Highly recommend it.

A lot to cover
I buy everything I review. To receive FIVE stars, a product must meet >90% of the manufacturer's claims. I don’t subtract because I don’ t like the color or appearance (too subjective and personal). I review form, function, ease of use, and construction quality. Please forgive typos: I’m an evidence-based scientist, NOT a typist. If you find my review helpful, please click "YES". This helps me improve future evaluations (which I do for free to help people make more informed decisions).Their Claim: Bottom timer with watch functions and depth gaugeMy Verdict (details below): True but with some major flawsIt's a watch, stopwatch, thermometer, countdown timer, and has dual time zones. All #'s are large enough to find and works very well. It's even stylish to wear as an everyday watch. I like the looks and these features work exactly as designed.Next, the dive component. When you go into water, it automatically changes to DIVE mode (which you can also go to by pushing the MODE button, generally to review your dives). When underwater, them mode button won't switch to any other function. It has a water sensor, and when submerged, the watch believes you are diving, and locks it into that mode. Come out of the water, and you can toggle between modes again. That is a bit troublesome as you can't tell what time it is underwater, or view the stopwatch (so, if you want to spend six minutes at a ship wreck then do something else, or you know you have to be back at the boat in 30 minutes or they're leaving without you, you can't time yourself that way; plus, you can't toggle to the time of day under water). That shouldn't be the case. But it's not a deal breaker, more of an annoyance.When you are in the water and go to about three feet, the BOTTOM TIMER (BT) starts up. That's pretty great at this price point. It works exactly as it should. But here's the problem. If you're diving, then come up to snorkel on the surface to a different dive spot 100 yards down the coast, or come up for ANY reason, the BT stops. When you go back down, it starts again from 0:00. So, on one 2 hour dive at 30-feet, during which I came up a few times to speak to my dive buddy, each time we went back down this unit THINKS it's a new dive. By the end of the two hours single session dive, it had seven recorded dives. They're numbered and easy to scroll through.The problem is that to use a dive table to calculate RNT, you need to know how LONG you've been underwater (total) and the maximum depth you achieved. To figure out your BT with this unit, I had to add up each BT from all seven dives it thought I took. Again, not a big deal, but it SHOULD have an ON/OFF button for the diving function, and simply record one dive as, get this, ONE DIVE. That is, if you come up after 7:35 to get something from the boat, when you go back down, it should start at 7:36, not 0:00. It would be SO simple to do that. In fact, when in DIVE MODE, none of the buttons do anything. So, why not assign this function to one? I guess they don't want you pushing buttons underwater as that can compromise water tightness, but it should be doable. That's my major issue. One dive is one dive; not seven or seventeen.The depth is a bit off. In a 17 foot pool, when placed on the bottom, it recorded 13.4 feet each time I brought it down (very consistent, not very accurate). That's not quite accurate enough for diving IMO.The temperature gauge seems pretty close, but I didn't know the exact temp of the lake or pool, so I can't speak to it's veracity.For the price point, this is an AMAZING deal. I'm only going on dives when on vacation, so it suits me perfectly. But if I were a regular diver, this would not suit me at all due to the BT issue, and the depth gauge being inaccurate.In reality, when I go on Caribbean dives, I usually submerge and ascend just once, so the BT issue won't be arise. Even if I made multiple ascents, I can add the dive times together at my leisure later when I get home. But if I need to know under WATER how long I've been there, which is important when you're approaching decompression time limits, this simply doesn't cut it.For the casual diver like me, this works. For a regular diver, you're going to have to spend $200+ for a real dive watch.One other thing. Having a rotating bezel on a digital watch (bezels are designed for analog watches only) is like having a tampon dispenser in a men's locker room: I mean, what's that all about? They're trying to be cute, and it doesn't work. It has NO purpose on a digital watch. None.

Like the settings
I tend to lose track of time when snorkeling. I find the alarm nice to have.

Did everything it said, but didn't last!!!
I had my watch two seasons, late spring and summer months only!! I used the watch for spearfishing. Two of the buttons started to not work all of the time this year!! One does not now work at all now!!! And the watch is no longer of any use!!!Not sure about this, it is very cheap when compared to dive watches!! And has all the features most people would need, and they all including the depth gauge appear to of worked properly! ...But I wondered if cheap, meant cheap?!! £80 not being very cheap for a watch in my opinion! I may still buy another, one day!?

Worked well, but magnetic switches fail after a while
It worked well for 2+ years, but unfortunately the magnetic switches corrode and stop working. 3/4 of my switches are now dead, and unfortunately that makes the watch unusable.
