    The main advantage Rolex has over the other watches with a high quality movement is the quality of the sealings. If I don't care about sealing quality why would I get a Rolex in the first place? To put this in computer terms this would be like buying a rack computer with 6 drive bays and saying I don't care about disk performance, nor do I need much storage. It simply doesn't make any sense.

    Replicas never have the movement quality of a high end watch, and Rolex movements are behind of the comparative competition in terms of aesthetics. The technologies that Rolex invented in the 1920s and 30s are present in any automatic today. Even something like a http://www.tissot.ch/ has the technologies. Rolex is about quality of execution in a sports watch. You are being dismissive of the kinds of quality issue for which people buy Rolex.

    Well if you want a sports watch without advanced features not designed to hold up get a fossil (http://www.fossil.com/), they are good watches and they will cost less than a Rolex replica. The only reason to produce a fake Rolex is to defraud people. You had asked for an example of danger and having your watch fail you when you are underwater is about as dangerous as it can get.

    I own 2 Tissots and I'm very happy with them.

    Both of them are the t-Touch series, which incorporates a touch screen on the analog face to control various functions.

    The price isn't bad (Mine lists for $680 and $780 CDN, but I did get them for cheaper overseas), good Seiko's cost at least that, and Movados and dress timepieces cost well in the thousands. The best thing is, that the t-touch series maintains a cool gadget factor with the touch screen and things like the altimeter, ambient temp, immediate world time switching, etc. while still looking sophisticated and non-geeky.

    http://www.tissot.ch/ is their website.

    I'm surprised noone mentioned the Tissot T-Touch touch screen watch, compass, altimeter, etc. It's not cheap, but not outrageous, I think $500-800 on ebay.

    Also for divers, Citizen has a dive watch/computer that's actually close to a normal watch size called the Cyber Aqualand NX. It has full dive computer functions, including nitrox, and you can get a communications unit that lets you download dive profiles etc.
