Sorry for the late reply. Like I mentioned in my reply in the sales froum of 3T....It all depends on what you want or need. Like mcwright said, one hardly requires a 1000m WR dive watch cos it is very seldom one dives that deep. But of course like I mentioned, I love 1000m WR dive auto watches! The deeper, the more thrilled thaT I wanna get one.
This Tauchmeister is a value for money watch. For a watch at its price, there is NO WATCH or BRANDS that is close to it having its features.
But if you are not looking at the depth rate, a 200m WR rated watch is more than enough for scuba diving! For this case, I would highly recommend the SEIKO monsters either in Black or Orange. Thier Blue and Yellow are quite expensive. The Black and Orange Monster are the biggest bang for the buck in term of watch, F&F, quality and construction. Please do not listen to those who have bad experience with their monsters, those are MINORITY REPORT! LOL!!! Maybe out of 100 Monsters, there are less than a handful cases that the watch is faulty/not in good working order....etc. I mean even a FERRARI is 100% manufactured flawless! Maybe a month after the purchase you will find it in the workshop. That's just an e.g.
So to summarize, if you like 1000m WR depth rating, then go for the Tauchmeister. Don't waste your time on the 600m. The 1000m WR is better! Anyway there is a guy in another forum whom has tested his Tauchmeister 1000m and he said the rating is CORRECT! It is a solid watch with a Miyota(Citizen's movt)! But the bracelet is not included and there is no original bracelet for this as it comes with a rubber strap. There are however aftermarket bracelet for it. But if you are not fascinated with depth rating, I would HIGHLY recommend the SEIKO Black or Orange Monster.
