What are Dive Watches with Computer
Dive watches with a computer feature offer the functionality and look of traditional watches with the advanced features of dive computers.

Types of Dive Watches with Computer
Analog Style Dive Watches: Traditional looking watches will only have limited visibility but they will tell you the depth and direction, as well as other information about your dive.

Smart Dive Watches: These are more popular, and resemble your GPS-enabled smart watch you use during your jog, your trekking, or even your bike ride. The digital displays and integrated dive computer work well together, giving you the clear picture you need under water. They are also extremely durable and easy to manage.. They display real-time data, and you can even customise dive modes. They include compasses, air integration, and wireless connectivity where available.
Dive Watches vs. Dive Computers
Dive watches are designed for underwater use (diving) and are extremely lightweight, easy to use, and convenient. They work well if you don’t want to lag a large equipment with you and still want to access all the information at one place.
All of these watches are rigorously tested for pressure, display quality, and accuracy, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost, even if you only have a diving watch to guide you.
Dive computers give you more advanced navigation. They are also working with GPS navigation, and are generally giving you much more data. You can attach them to your gear and see real live data of your dive or watch back your journey. Some of the most affordable models are the Shearwater Peregrine and the Suunto Eon Core.
