I spent so much time taking it to watch place, which kept replacing the batteries and running the reboot procedure. actual depth, maximum depth, and elapsed diving time. I can’t keep the depth gauge part working. It displays the DPS (damage per second) of the weapon that last. ![]() The exception is the Timex Helix Dive watch, which is a fine but it's not something you'd want to wear outside of diving, and it only shows depth down to 40m (130') and one of mine failed (small flood) at a shallower depth, though the other has been doing okay for about 100 dives, some down to 200' - though even that one has had some minor problems and will probably die soon (metal panel fell off and needs gluing, some of the functions stopped working for a bit but now work again, and the lock function does not lock the watch mode properly anymore).
