Watch Snob Ranks 20 Dive Watches Under $1,000! [2022]

the Frogman was literally the most capable diver out of anything you showed in your video.

G-shock should be on the high list. You can't just find a version you have a problem with and because of that place it lower. Just don't get a special edition. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing else like the frogman in the market and I have seen tests of this making 1000m deep in the ocean. S class.

39mm Glycine Combat Sub , 300m, sw200, incredible solid

I would knock that Tissot down a full letter grade due to date window peeking! Also that Casio Duro with a super engineer II strap is wicked!

Has this guy actually seen all of these watches sin the flesh? Or is he going by internet photos for some of them?

I still don't get the hype for Tissot divers. Every time I have tried one on it has been a huge disappointment. They use polished parts in all the wrong places for a diver and the photos don't reveal this. The Mido looks and feels better albeit it more conservative. This list just keeps getting worse.

I watch guy who doesn't understand Vostok? The Amphibia is a toy, but the G-Shock isn't? Some people just like the sound of their own voice too much.

invicta above vostok, im actually just sad

Even the Invicta pro diver quartz is better than the Casio Duro (solid steel bracelet and Seiko quartz vs Resin and Miyota quartz)

I love your material but honestly, 4 watches from Seiko/Epson group and 3 from the Swatch group? This felt phoned in to me. Squale? Zodiac? Christopher Ward? Vero? Just saying. I still love your shit though regardless

I have the Bulova Devil Diver blue/orange and I love it. Except the date window, it's kinda useless. It's strange how most date/day windows are poorly executed by most companies.

Titanium promaster for under 300 bucks, A tier

Love tissot but the mido looks way beter

The 2023 Tissot 1000 Powermatic 80 with 300m and 43mm stain steel band with divers extension big dials with excellent super-lume visibility it makes a statement and AR anti reflective coating and engraved ceramic bezel SHOULD have been A tier. Such a beautiful watch and lasts 80 hours without winding which lasts longer than the Rolex Submariner and Omega Seamaster.

Somehow you passed over the entire line of Steinhart dive watches!? The Ocean 1 and the Ocean 39 are THE BEST dive watches for the money.

Certina deserves to be on this list, Citizen also

What tier would squale 1521 be??

You obviously never had a Mido sea star which has pound to pound the best braclet and clasp on the market and in live this watch looks ten times better than Tissot, which frankly looks hideously cheap compare to any Mido!!
Skx and Monster are probably the most influential diving watches ever,Monster has maybe the most innovative and original case design.

"watch snob"... Wears the watch in the right hand...

I agree on the Vostok though, garbage watch

I know these rankings are very subjective but I just want to make clear that I do not own nor plan to own a Dan Henry but that watch you placed in D tier is objectively better specd and designed than the Citizen promaster (which I own) that comes with a mineral crystal and fairly generic dial. You seem to mind the name Dan Henry on the dial but you are also fine with Christopher Ward’s. Just not very consistent on what you like or don’t like, I guess such is the horological conundrum.
