Continue readingIt has been said many times before, but only because it’s true: the Rolex Submariner is the world’s most famous diver’s watch.

Continue readingIt’s no secret that James Bond is well-known for his fancy cars, tailored suits, and state-of-the-art gadgets, but he has also been known to have some serious watch game as well. We all know that Sean Connery rocked a Rolex Submariner somewhere along the way, and that OMEGAs have made many appearances in the epic spy series, but what about all those other odd watches that hit the screen along the way?

Rather than so-called desk divers, which may look and work like a dive watch but have probably never been deeper than a hot tub, Seiko dive watches are constructed for actual scuba diving by adhering to the ISO 6425 standard. Plus, with a range of price points, there really is a Seiko diver for just about everyone. These top tool watches…
Continue readingIf you want to run the latest fitness apps, a waterproof smartwatch is almost a necessity. Whether you’re tracking your heart rate, monitoring your breathing, or counting calories, a phone probably isn’t going to be much good on its own. This is even more true if you’re swimming, snorkeling, or water-skiing, since you likely won’t even have your phone on you during those activities. But there are a lot of smartwatches on the market, and…

Continue readingAs humans have striven to dive deeper and longer, the need for underwater timekeeping has only increased, and many of our favorite watch brands have developed dive watches that were up to the task. Ways to seal the crown and caseback, different materials for the crystal that wouldn’t be compromised by underwater pressure, and other innovations that slowly steered us towards the modern dive watches that we all know and love. Rather than go through…
Continue readingThe watch industry is chock-full of weird nicknames for different models, but Seiko really takes the cake. Rather than following the usual pattern of relating colors to nicknames (as you’ll see in another story we’re working on), many Seikos are named after sea creatures, or other randomness.
