10 Best Dive Watches for Men Under $500 2023

A dive watch, as the name implies, is built for plunging into the ocean, sea, or any body of water, large or small, for a prolonged period. They are, by many accounts, some of the most durable timepieces available, because they are made to be impervious to liquid and pressure. Sounds expensive, right? Well, dive watches really don’t have to be. Many of the best fall under $500, and will do the job of those that cost six figures or more.

The key characteristic to look out for is the resistance to water pressure, which is usually measured by meters. The standard is 100 meters, and the higher the number, 200 and 300 meters being the most common, the better a timepiece is for, well, diving. Also, you really don’t have to be a professional diver or hobbyist to sport one; they are great to wear in any environment and any scenario. And we gathered 10 of the best below.
