Whether you’re cruising a reef at 30 feet or penetrating a wreck at 30 meters, you want gear that won’t quit.
I’m a dive instructor, wreck enthusiast, and professional reviewer so I tend to be difficult to please when it comes to my personal tech purchases. And that’s no different whether it’s a laptop, gaming PC build, or scuba-friendly smartwatch.
So while we’ve been tracking the best Cyber Monday laptop deals, I’ve also had my eye on the best smartwatch/dive computer deals.
In fact, I always dive with the smaller version of the Garmin Descent MK 2, which is 18% off at Amazon. And I’m eyeing this Apple Watch deal to upgrade my usual pool fitness tracker since Amazon has shaved 10% off the Apple Watch Ultra 2.
Out of all the rugged smartwatches and watch-style dive computers, these are the three I’m eyeing for my own Amazon cart.
Today’s best rugged smartwatch dealsOther options to consider
If you want that old, school scuba brand name recognition with a more budget-friendly watch-style computer, the Scuba Pro G3 will set you back $800 full price.
If you’re not as married to the watch form factor and want a great, reliable dive computer, I keep the original Shearwater Research Perdix next to my Garmin Descent MK 2S on my left wrist on every open water dive. You can get the updated Shearwater Perdix 2 Ti for $1,140. Or you can opt for the more wallet-friendly Peregrine, which is on sale for $550 for Cyber Monday.
While you can take other Apple Watches in the water, only the Apple Watch Ultra and Apple Watch Ultra 2 can take advantage of the Oceanic+ App to work as dive computers.
Today is a day of tech deal choices, but whatever decision you make, dive safe.
