I did once lose a watch while diving so a straight out no.
I would not wear anything I couldn’t afford to or would be really unhappy to lose while diving.
Your pic looks like a gold tone Seiko which I would happily wear diving.
I wouldn’t buy a gold dive watch nor any gold tool watch. I think gold or other precious metals are for dress watches.
No, because I don't like gold. Otherwise then yes, why not ?! 👍🏻
No problem here with it. Same specs isuslly as their steel counterparts.
Only if I want it banged up on a dive boat! 😂
You'd take a dive (gold or not) watch DIVING!!! are you mad😱😆

My last dive was with a Ploprof... Guess I am mad! Lol......
You can go down 16000 feet with a $15 Casio.
If I had a gold diver, I would totally dive with it (so long as it was insured). When I did dive a lot (pre-computer era) I often wore my 1990 Rolex Submariner. When diving last summer I didn't hesitate to take my modern Omega Seamaster. Watches are meant to be used. I tend to think that a lot of folks on Watch Crunch are a little too conservative with how they wear their watches.
Depends on how much I spent on it 😂
What the watch is built for matters more than material. The engineering and materials in the case design and build. Yes, GS 413 is pricey, I think retail is more than some cheaper 2tone Swiss watches. But I take it running, cycling, swimming in ocean and pool, and kayaking. It's a 100m screw crown and bomb proof spring drive movement. The weakest point is going to be spring bars so I do pay attention to quality there. Preference for Seiko Fat bars when I think the chance of a trip to the bottom of the briney deep is too likely. (4x increase strength for 2x increase size)
