Me and my 114060 at about 80 feet, and we've not been deeper than 100 feet.

I've heard that if a watch is going to leak, it's more likely to do so at a higher depth, because at a lower depth the extra pressure is squeezing all the gaskets and parts that much tighter together. Don't know if there is any science behind that claim.

I did some freediving on the Great Barrier Reef this summer and got to around 20m wearing my SD4K. Normally I wouldn't wear a mechanical watch for this purpose, but I happened to be on holidays...

I have dove to just over 200 feet when I took my PADI Tec Trimix 65 course last year.

I am currently working on the TEC TriMix course that goes down to 300 feet.

I guess it was 80-ish feet. I know it was as far as we could go without decompressing. Was wearing my 5513 at the time.

I've been SSI certified for about 7 years and have gone diving maybe 30 times. You seem to dive a lot right after getting certified, then it dwindles a bit more every year. Being from the Northeast, diving is A LOT of work to lug tanks, get suited up and to actually get into the water (unless it is a dive excursion on vacation with light or no neoprene). The number of dives I've actually taken my Sub? One. Reasons being not because or WR reasons (120ft was deepest dive albeit no watch on) but it is really really rough on the watch. You hover just above the ocean floor and between equipment, sand and rocks slamming into your watch, why risk damaging it as diving does not require a watch anymore as your computer has all the information just short of stock market closing prices on it. It even has the TIME displayed believe it or not. ha-ha. You actually have two regulators, the main one you use that is in your mouth and an auxiliary one that just hangs on a 2ft hose and follows you free hanging. That alone can be a watch killer if you are not careful. I do however enjoy snorkeling as well...and my Sub or even Date Just is always on my wrist as it can actually be used to keep track of time and no risk of bumping equipment or seafloor debris. I think a good comparison would be how many pilots use pilot watches these days when flying? Days gone by they may have been useful, but not in today's world with more accurate and comprehensive computers.

Have fun. I did mine a few years ago. The deep dive was 104 meters (340 feet). Definitely do the dives somewhere warm if you can.

I've had my Explorer to 65 meters and my Sea Dweller to 95 meters. The Sea Dweller is the back up timer on all my dives, and way more enjoyable to watch during deco stops.
