The only thing I don't like though is that small red triangle, ruins it a bit for me. Are there any models that don't have the triangle?

But it is too big, you can't wear it every day. Plus I don't really like the strap. Tom could you explain me what is the role of the helium escape valve, I don't think I have seen this feature on a watch until now? The design of the watch is pretty good.

I agree, the above watch is way to big for everyday wearing and quite simply put, it would look ridiculous under a suit and tie. As I said above, although I love the look of this watch it seems obvious to me that it has been designed with serious divers in mind first and foremost. As a result of the materials used, the features the watch is fitted with such as the good quality automatic movement and the helium escape valve I would expect the price of this watch to be on par with mid-range luxury watches costing between the US$2000 - $US5000 range.

Do people wear diving watches outside of the diving time? It would seem way too chunky to wear during the day with a shirt or t shirt. Also how do these watches compare in price to normal high end watches? Thanks. Aureden It is too big for me. Do people wear diving watches outside of the diving time?
