When wearing dive watches, divers can avoid air
embolisms in the lungs. These embolisms arise because
the weight of the water, as well as the weight of the
atmosphere above the water, allows the lungs to hold
more air. If divers surface too quickly without
controlling the ascent, the expanding air in the lungs
will cause the lungs to over-expand and ultimately
rupture. These ruptures can release air bubbles into the
bloodstream that can block blood to the brain and other
vital organs. A good Diving Watch will help the diver
ascend at the proper rate and assist her in remembering
to exhale properly.
Similarly,
diving watches assist divers in avoiding the bends, or
decompression sickness. This problem exists when
nitrogen builds up in body tissues, possibly causing
dizziness, blindness, paralysis, or convulsions.
With a dive watch, divers can
control the time spent underwater. Also, by monitoring
the speed of ascent divers can avoid many
life-threatening situations.
Citizen Dive Watches -- A
Mini Dive Computer!
A Citizen
Dive Watch is one of the most technologically
advanced diving watches on the market today. The Citizen
Watch Company even advertises one of its more
sophisticated diving watch, the
Aqualand MG 1010-08E, as having all the
features of a dive computer in a wrist watch size. This
is said because Citizen dive watches contain all the
automatic timing devices necessary to achieve a safe and
enjoyable Scuba Diving experience. Citizen dive watches
are made of stainless steel for durability and
corrosion-resistance and include such important
functions as one-way or dual-direction elapsed-time
bezels for monitoring threshold times spent underwater.
Many Citizen Dive watches also
provide clear and easy-to-read digital displays,
chronographs, 12/24 time options, and the valuable
feature of Citizen's Eco-Drive. With the Eco-Drive,
many Citizen Dive watches operate from solar power
charging a long-lasting lithium-ion battery. A full
charge can last for months, allowing the wearer of a
Citizen dive watch the comfort of knowing that their
watch batteries will not run out underwater.
Additionally, the New model MG
1010-08E from Citizen dive watch line even
includes time, depth, ascent, decompression, and oxygen
alarms.
Seiko Dive Watches
-- Manual Control for Added
Monitoring!
Seiko dive watches offer
the most versatility in manual control with elapsed-time
bezels that can be set easily by hands wearing dive
gloves. Many Seiko
Dive Watches are manufactured with luminous
bezels and hands to better allow the diver to monitor
his or her underwater experience, and the screw down
locking mechanism on Seiko dive watches allows for
greater security in the dark reaches of oceans or seas.
Seiko dive watches also provide automatic and battery
powered dive watches to ensure proper accuracy and
dependability in the dangerous realm of underwater
exploration and discovery. Dive
watches serve one other great purpose. Whether someone
is a diver or not, they tend to really look Cool with a
nice dive watch on their wrist and have a great
conversation piece.
