I'm doing research on dive watches, and/or water resistant watches.

Timex makes a watch that is water resistant up to 200 meters. But, the documentation says, under no circumstances are you to use this watch for diving.

Tell me, under what circumstances would you be nearly 600 feet under water, and NOT be diving?

Is the Timex Iron Man made for cement shoe-wearing suicide candidate?

I guess it means that it'll probably be fine, but don't rely on it for critical things like amount of time until your oxygen runs out, or keeping the bends away.

And so you are correct. :-) I talked to my Master Dive instructor tonight, and he said it's okay at the levels I'll be diving at.

Unless I'm taking on a starring role in the remake of "The Abyss", I don't think I'll need that.

If you want a diving watch, there's only one choice:

4,000 feet of sea-dwelling sophistication (http://www.rolex.com/oyster/fich_sea.html)

There's no batteries and it's a classic design that will last a lifetime. You could hand it down to your child some day.
