Help with dive watch.

Hey Everyone,
I'm starting to get into free-diving. I'm gonna be taking a few classes to learn all techniques and safety info to dive to 65ft then a class for 120ft. For you that don't know free-diving is diving with only oxygen you can store in your lungs. Anyways I would like to find a sporty looking watch that has a depth chronograph that will go around 120ft down. Any Ideas? I found a Citizens that caught my eye just figured I would see if anyone else knew of anything.
Thanks
Kevin

Lucky dive watches seem to be a very popular segment, and there are a lot of options. I admit to not knowing much about water resistance and how it's rated. It's odd to me that a watch rated for 50 meters is suggested to only be used in a shower or wading pool. I would look into how much WR you need and be sure that the watch you are looking at is rated specifically for diving. Also, what price range?

1500 or less, I know its not allot for a watch but I want to keep price down. I need to be able to read 120 ft down. I would prefer a analog style. Not a big fan of digital. That's all I have found that caught my eye so far. Keep in mind my wrist is about 8" around so I would like a bigger case. 48-52

Thanks again!

Was going to throw out DOXA as I think you can get them used for cheap but there's a rather strict list of requirements that you have, and that Citizen is probably going to be the best bang for your buck for what you want. It looks way rad!
