Bear with me for a while for I maybe a little biased here. You see, like many modern homo sapiens, I have a penchant for wrist worn timepiece – particularly, those big-ass wrist watches and although I may not take to the deep blue as much (say hi to the sharks for me), I do appreciate quality diving timepieces as much as any regular diver. While divers love them for its practical intents, I just love the fact that it is huge and uncomplicated (unlike aviation examples). So, naturally, when a hat tip on a big, chunky diving watch called Heavy Armor from Hong Kong-based watchmaker, DELTAt (pronounced as ‘delta’ ’t’) dropped in our inbox, I knew I have to talk about it here.

A Quick Look: SKYWATCH Dive Watch
we are no wrist watch pros here, nor are we experts in diving sports, but still that doesn’t stop us from giving this budget dive watch our very own take. aesthetically, i would say the SKYWATCH Dive Watch is a handsome time piece. the built and construction are great and we love the idea of using sailcloth material for the strap and the blue strap keeper just give the watch an added character (though some may argued the blue is kind of off with the whole watch, but that’s beside the point). though well built, the watch takes some getting use to. why? first off, the watch is a tad too light for my liking (it is very light, tipping the scale at a little over 80 grams) and the lack of weight does not really give it the dive watch feel. but i guess that doesn’t really matters if you are really wearing this for diving.
