How to Use a Diving Watch? The Practical Guide

Robust, elegant, and versatile, the dive watch has become a true symbol of style that extends far beyond scuba diving. Discover how to get the most out of your dive watch, whether for its style or practical features.

Why choose a diving watch for everyday use?

A timeless and versatile style

The diving watch is the perfect accessory for all occasions:

  • Elegant enough for the office
  • Rugged enough for sports
  • Perfectly suited to weekend activities
  • A look that goes with all clothing styles

Forged in our Toulouse workshop, BBGear watches are designed for modern adventurers: robust and durable, their distinctive design asserts your character.

Robustness that can withstand anything

Designed to withstand extreme conditions, your diving watch accompanies you in all your activities:

  • Guaranteed waterproofness for swimming and water sports
  • Resistance to everyday shocks
  • Premium materials that stand the test of time
  • Optimal readability in all circumstances

Waterproofing in everyday life

With a minimum water resistance of 100 meters, enjoy your watch with peace of mind:

  • In the shower
  • At the swimming pool
  • At the beach
  • In the rain
  • During your sports activities

Easy maintenance for maximum durability

To preserve the beauty of your watch:

  • Rinse it with fresh water after swimming or going to the beach
  • Wipe it gently
  • Avoid harsh chemicals

The true meaning of 200m waterproofness

The "200 meters" indication on a watch does not mean that you can dive to that depth. In reality, this figure corresponds to a static laboratory test, quite different from real-life conditions where the watch is subjected to varying movements and pressures.

A 100m certified watch is suitable for swimming and surface water sports, while a 200m certification like that of BBGear watches offers an additional margin of safety allowing for professional diving and more intensive everyday use.

This higher certification also guarantees better durability of seals and components over time, which is essential for a quality automatic watch assembled in France.

A French watch that combines style and performance

Today, a diver's watch is much more than just a diving instrument: it's a timeless accessory that reflects a way of life. By choosing a BBGear automatic watch, you're opting for French elegance and Toulouse-based craftsmanship that makes all the difference.
