Thanks for the video link Jim. Reminds me of some of the IWC Aquatimer vids. (sound & vision).

Tag has certainly got some innovative ideas - the lock down for the bezel, for one, is interesting, but I think it may be something that you'd have to try and see if you like it.

Really like the caseback with Diver on. Wish more manufacturers would do this kind of thing.

Not sold on the use of yellow for some of the hands. But they can be clearer underwater than some more subtle colours.

Functional chronograph down to 500 meters is good. But would you be timing your safety decompression stops etc. with a watch like this. Maybe.

But a digital display (countdown or otherwise) might be easier to read (and less confusing in a safety/tricky situation). So a dive computer, with a good watch like this as backup, could be an idea.

Tag have redesigned their site since I last looked. They've spruced it up a notch or two with friendlier colours and more use of top name celebs. I like the light blue of the site; it's kinder to the eyes than some.

Thanks for the info.

"The Ultimate Dive watch." There's a good debate.

Thanks Rambler, I posted that cause I really like Tag Heuer and the videos are very cool and yes I really like the updated Tag site also.
The ultimate, well thats a matter of opinion, but this watch does have some very usable functions.
