I am not a diver but I do know some basic things about diving and diver watches. For a watch rated 1000m deep, yes they have strong cases. But also, most of them have a helium release or a built in helium release valve/vent.
However, there are many watches rated from 100-300m WR which have strong cases too. SEIKO monsters are one of them. In fact any SEIKO rate 150m WR and above have strong cases. Besides SEIKOs, if you like automatic Swiss movt, the next I would suggest is Oceanaut.
To be frank, there are too many watches to be suggested. So we have to zoom in what are your criteria:
1. Price range?
2. Auto or Quartz?
3. Japanese or Swiss movt?
4. Purpose: Diving(if yes how deep?), Daily beater? Diver's Dress style?
Those are the basic factors of looking for a watch. Cos a 1000m can be around $150 and also it can be above $2000. Same for a 200-300m, can be $50 to above $2000!
Don't worry, maybe you can state down your criteria based on the factors above, the guys here will help you & suggest some nice watches for you. Cos I myself do not know every good watches too! :P
