Dive Watch 14060

Is it me or is the 14060 pretty thin for a 1000ft dive watch??

Well it's been tested to over 300m,but in the real world most scuba divers would stick to around 40m or less.Tbe deepest dive just using scuba gear was in the Red sea by Nuno Gomes just over 318m,but doubt if 95% of all dive type watches bought today ever see water than perhaps a dip in the pool or in the shower.And myself have dived down to 63m wearing my 1980s 5513 that's the dive watch before the 14060 with no problems.

I have quite a few dive watches but haven't spent much time below 30'.

I should’ve added that it’s impressive.
