Mr_B 2,401 Posted June 15, 2017 http://www.creationwatches.com/products/seiko-divers-60/seiko-5-sports-automatic-23-jewels-snzf17-snzf17k1-snzf17k-mens-watch-1464.html Looking at a watch for holiday (around £100) that I don't need to leave on the beach if I want to go in the sea. This one is £98 and an auto which seems good value. The non screw down crown isn't ideal but doesn't really bother me. Any other ideas? Experiences? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCRich 13,747 Posted June 15, 2017 Enjoy your trip. I never worry about that since I don't wear a watch on the beach as it leaves me with a rather stupid looking tan line on my wrist. I'm sure a Timex Ironman would be even better if the time is that important on the beach. I'm going diving next week on a sailboat and I am not taking a watch. Island time mon.

I'm sure a Timex Ironman would be even better if the time is that important on the beach. Haven't really considered a digital watch. Something to think about for sure I know time shouldn't be that important but I'm with my 5 year old and he needs feeding from time to time, being all inclusive I'd wanna get back to the hotel for meal times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thrichar 47 Posted June 15, 2017 G-shock or an SKX007 - both a bit more resilient (not that there is anything wrong with a seiko 5!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_B 2,401 Posted June 15, 2017 Go with the seiko 5 you choose but in blue for that summer vibe feel! Or an Skx I think I'm going to go for it, also going to get a sapphire crystal, sub style bezel insert and Mercedes hands, looked online and all can be had for $60-$80 here: http://www.dagazwatch.com/apps/webstore/search?utf8=✓&sort=&query=Snzf+ Il do a before and after comparison too :) Skx007 or 009.

elp 26 Posted June 15, 2017 Fantastic for watersports, reliable quartz, depth gauge and water temp indicator. My go to for the beach or kayaking. Just stick it on a nato/zulu (if one of the pins pops you don't lose the watch) and you're set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
