How to use a dive watch bezel – Watch and Learn #18

23 21



In today’s episode of Watch and Learn, we will tackle how to use the dive watch bezel. Dive watches are probably the most popular style of watch on the market today, and they all use some sort of turning bezel with minute graduations on it. But how do you use it? Or how does a diver use it?

We’re going to show you how to use the bezel in a few different ways, and also show you how the uni-directional bezel is a major safety feature on the watch. We will use many examples from both Orient and Seiko.

    A dive computer is better for telling you how much air you have left among other things

    Today more divers are using dive computers that are less interactive then moving the bezel.

    The rotating bezel feature is basically the original app on an analog watch before digital apps.

    A man with one watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is not quite sure.

    Great explanatory video.

    Why it is unidirectoinal?

  18. byteme9718 says

    Not a bad exaplanation for a non diver. I'd guess the last time I used a watch when diving was about 25 years ago, all dive computers since. They're still useful for boiling eggs though.

    I think this topic fits more to be discussed by a professional scuba diver. You've done that but it doesn't make you an expert on the topic.

    I use the bezel to keep track of the month.
