Diver watch

[whatwhat]

Hi, can anyone tell me water resistance for 1000 feet can dive for how deep? And please recommend any diver watch (over 10000 dollars) that is small and thin for my small wrist size.

Usually a larger depth rating doesn't equate to a small case size. To go to 1000, a regular Sub should work fine

That WR is sufficient for any diving you will ever do. 1000ft/300m and considering recreational diving should not exceed 100ft w/o specialized training. Ive been below 100ft two or three times and i didn't particularly like it. Its hard on your body, it starts to get dark, and there isnt really anything to see anyway. All the fish and coral and interesting stuff is surprisingly close to the surface.

The original fifty fathoms dive watch was WR to 91M (300 feet) and the original sub was 100m (328 feet) and were perfectly fit for purpose. Dive watches today are capable of higher depth ratings, but that doesnt make it necessary.

300M or 1000ft is suitable for just about anything you will do in the water.

There are quite a few nice dive watches to look at as it’s a popular genre.

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, JLC Master, AP, Rolex to name but a few which would fit the bill. I’m not aware of any 300M true dive watches which are notably thinner than the rest. The massive water pressure requires a very robust case not to bend and compress.

Look at Blancpain, they make Bathyscaphes in 38 & 43mm which would probably be fine for your wrist.
