What is the Allure of Divers Watches?

Recommended Posts

onionbag

For me the allure of diverse watches is quite simply explained.

 

I can wear different ones...........

It's penis envy....manifested by post-pubescent wannabe secret agents / black seal / jungle explorers (insert fantasy hero of your choice here ).....but in truth sported by spotty oiks :B):

I'm happy to wear my DSSD anywhere, don't care if it gets wet, that is what it is designed for. Love doing the dishes with it on and don't even wear rubber gloves. I do use lots of hand crime though.....

They make them to sell them. Allure is the point of the game. It's called consumerism.

I love the rubber strap ones because its comfy to wear, looks awesome and you can wear it with a tracksuit and still look casual.

Kinda like SUVs, most don't ever see any off-road "sport" action of any type...but manufacturers market them to perfection, the "cool" people start buying em & then everyone's got to have one. Same w/ divers IMO, celebrities start wearing em & then everyone's got to have em - including me...(love my Hami Khaki Navy...). jm2cw...

Dive watches are Ugly, hideous, and no one should ever buy one. I've never seen a pretty dive watch....

So it seems that yet again the answer to pretty much every question every asked on here (best diver/best holiday watch/most reliable/ best built etc etc) is a G Shock.

 

Perhaps that should be a sticky on the main page...

 

 

JUST GET A G SHOCK FOR 50 QUID!

Because they are sporty looking like us manly men, I tried wearing a girls watch and needed three other bracelets with it so I could tell I had something on my arm.
