Tool watches today are archaic and literally useless....

All of my friends that dive to depths > 150ft DO NOT use a computer. Instead, they use a good analog bottom timer (i.e. a Rolex diver) and plan their dive on the surface on a slate. There is no need for a dive computer for deep dives.

And yes..........several of them DO use a Rolex diver for this purpose.
