Looking at another Tauchmeister divers watch, this is reported to be waterproof to 1000m What do you guys think? My current tauchmesiter is more pilot that diver.  |

Been reading about those watches: Well, first, it's no German watch... More like builded up in China with Citizen movements(maybe those mov are builded in Hong-Kong to...Who knows) Some people scream because them Tauch. watch was leaking after a bath-tub or a hand washing experiment and somes says that it hold... Somes say that the battery died within 3 months(???) They are very cheap generaly but NOT recommanded for the 1000 meters they claim... For the same range, I would recommand a Seiko model. Also the helium valve been critisized to be Really hard to manipulate,specialy under diving... There: You got what you pay for... A 100 buks watch... |

LOL Some very interesting feedback there :) Must admit I have had no issues with the one I currently have and dont have the £500 for the Seiko or similar. |

My personnal politic is: Better not buying any 100$ watches for 4-5 months and save the cash for a 600-800$ watch. Because I'll just get many cheap watches I'm not fully satisfied with... I like the real thing: Feel better on the wrist. But you don't need to buy a Sea-Dweller for that  Found my Certina DS3 for 850 buks and I'm very pleased with it. It's all a question of choice...  :cool: |

An inexpensive Chinese watch posing in German name. I wouldn't expect it to preform as a tool watch but they do have some funky designs. If you like the look and don't care much about claimed spec no big deal... |

fun watch but not serious enough to be considered reliable in any depth of water imo,Asian brand that has been around some time and most of us have owned 1 at 1 time or other when they were selling for $60.a few years ago ;) |

Agree with all views. Best to save the cash for something more substantial and worth the bucks.face4.gif |

I've wondered how they could do it... on a solid 1000m watch, the crystal alone often costs almost $100 (sapphire)! Been meaning to buy one of these to pick apart & check out... |

just a sidenote...if you e-mail Tauchmeister direct and ask them to put you on their mailing list for clearance and sale items you can save some good $$$...the list is in German but there are pics! hand6.gif |

I would be surprised if they could really even handle 100M. I had one and sold it. Fun watch but I never dared get it wet. LOL :D |
