How Deep Can a Dive Watch REALLY Go? Deep Sea Chamber test!

How deep can you really dive with cheap dive watch from Amazon? We are going to use our deep sea / pressure chamber and test two diver's watch for their maximum depth / pressure! Our deep sea chamber goes all the way to 300 bars that equals 3 kilometers or 2 miles of depth so we can simulate conditions on bottom of the ocean in this experiment.

I just ordered the Vostok Amphibia which has been most requested watch to test with this. So subscribe the channel to see that one :D

Take them to a watch repair shop; "I was free diving and I think I went a bit too deep; can you please check?"

This is an absolute success for the citizen. It kept running past 200m.

You've successfully answered the question i've had my whole life. I have always rocked 300m watches. Don't ever wear a watch that isn't waterproof. But it's my understanding that the meter ratings are not truly accurate. So, it's super nice to see a real test!

I am going to casually dive 1 kilometer this summer. Thanks for testing.

[bubbajenkins]

This is an important test because sundials don’t work at the bottom of the ocean very well

That citizen is NOT a diver, it is a 10bar non screw down crown, diver-like watch.
In fact its water resistance is remarkable.

Both manufacturers can be proud of their work. Both watches surpassed their ratings and I would feel confident buying either one. Thank you for doing this one. I've always wondered if those depth ratings were accurate.👍🏻

The way lauri say squeezed will never get old. I love your English. It’s much better than my Finnish. Your voice is fun to listen to.

I really like the new digital pressure guage. Prrriiti Guud.

[TCL_Dasler]

That Dugena, serious value for money. Great test.

[thomasflynn]

Neither of these are rated as dive watches so the ratings don't really mean they can go that deep so they both drastically over performed. That was amazing.

Both watches are not ISO certified, that puts things in perspective! I'd like to see how the Citizen NY0040 reacts to important depths. The italian navy tested it up to 500 meters and it kept working reliably.

As a SCUBA professional, I can verify that if you're at 1200 meters, "What time is it?" is the last of your concerns. As a equipment buff, you bet I'm going to show this to all my dive buddies.

Happy Bubbles.

If you are in a submersible and your watch stops working, you have a problem.

Film a gopro hero 4 with a waterproof housing, and see how much pressure it can take. the housing alone without gopro would be interesting, but if you put a gopro in there make sure it's filming!

[davidmilz]

I was really happy with your results. I own a number of citizen watches and was quite impressed!! Nice to know I didn't waste my $$!! Keep up the great work!!

[zoomboom]

Contact a Finnish Rolex AD and ask them to loan a Deepsea Seadweller for testing. Those are rated for 4000 meters so they should have nothing to worry about...

You guys should do repeated deep sea tests on these diver watches. It's a fact that a seal will only last a certain number of 'cycles' before it fails. Same way an airliner only has a certain lifespan depending on how many high alt cruise back to ground level the plane has. Many watch manufacturers claim to be dive resistant, but forget to mention how many times it can be used before the seal fails!

If you find yourself scuba diving at even 1000 feet (~300 m) you probably have much bigger problems than your watch.
