Diving watch for <$400 - Seiko or Zeno ?

[alfaman]

Hi all - looking for some advice on a "mid price" diving watch .....

I'm considering either :

Seiko Samurai titanium - could get one for about £150

Seiko 5 Series - steel ones around £120 ( i'd love to get a SKZ215 titanium if I could find one - though I reckong they'd be £250+)

Zeno airplane diving watch - around £240 .(not sure if I might get bored with it though - they are a bit "in your face" )

I'd appreciate any advice regarding the finish and manufacturing quality of Zeno vs Seiko - and are the movements equally good ?

And - any suggestions from members on a well made 200m+ watch in that price bracket would be very welcome

thanks

Get a Tissot 1000m!!! GREAT watch and unbelievable value.

Seiko are excellent value as well, just find the M rating you want and go for it!!
