Not a diver, but I do not mind getting my watches wet as that was what they are designed for. I can understand how most folks might not dive or even go swimming with their watches, but we all wash our hands right? Right? A little water won't hurt the watch.

Not only do I dive with my Doxas.......I have nearly given up my wrist computer!! I have found that diving with the dive-watch is so much more enjoyable. Actually, I use both unless I am going 40ft or less. A couple pics from my last dive trip to Bonaire N.A. back in Aug '07 The GMT Caribbean  The 750T Pro  The Military Sharkhunter  Last edited on Sat Nov 24th, 2007 12:10 pm by jclevoy |

Dive in mine often, but that being said 95% of the time the gaskets for diving come in handy keeping fine dust out of the case. Dealing with extreme weather conditions and variations in temp. the gaskets of the case and screw down crown come in handy. When dealing with fine dust, the crown set up of the Zeno Army Diver is very sub-par due the nature of the design. It allows the dust and grit to have direct access to the seals, and the dust grinds the seals every time the watch is wound or set. The compression of the seals on the crown stem is not sufficient to ensure a long term seal, given the oxidation and mechanical wear of the seals. If you are exposed to extreme conditions a screw down crown will serve the user more often than any other setup on most dive watches.

I don't dive but I don't hesitate to use my dive watches for recreational swimming. IMHO the design features are wasted if you're going to baby the watch. The watch wants to work... work it!! Its akin to the guy who buys a sports car but won't take it to the redline. Use it or lose it!!
