2 weeks agoThe 10 Best Dive Watches Under $500
High-quality dive watches under $500 offer durability, style, and essential features like unidirectional bezels and water resistance.
If a dive watch is a waterproof timepiece meant to travel under the water, a pilot's watch is a highly legible timepiece meant for use in the cockpit, a field watch is meant for soldiers or explorers and a GMT watch is meant for tracking a second time zone...then what the heck is an "adventure" watch? To our minds, it includes all of the above watches.
Dive watches are a perennial favorite of watch collectors for good reason: Built to survive the ocean's depths, they're highly legible, thoroughly water resistant, made from excellent materials, and available in a wide array of designs and price points. As an added bonus, they're often inherently good-looking, too. While we've covered excellent divers at the sub-$1,000 mark, we thought it was about time to do the same at a wider price range.
