Hey Jon, nice video. Being a certified SCUBA diver, I have a tough standard for dive watches. My first couple of years diving, the Casio MDV-106 (Duro) was the backup to my dive computer (Suunto D4i). I put somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 - 50 dives on that watch and never had a problem. I liked this watch so much, I bought two of them. One was the black dial version, which I put a NATO strap on and used for diving. The other had the blue dial, that one I put a silver band on instead of the rubber straps. I've since upgraded to a Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster, but the Duro will always hold a special place in my heart. Keep up the good work!

I added a black S/S bracelet to mine (I have the "G" model gold trimmed bezel - looks sharp). Just don't care for that loose flap of straps. Mine keeps INCREDIBLE time. +1 to +2 seconds PER MONTH! I wear mine for wet occasions: fishing, swimming (including snorkeling), sailing, kayaking. No issues. I also wear it hunting because the large face/hands are easy to see in low light; even without much lume. I'm color-blind but have great low-light vision. My Every Day Wear is a Hamilton Khaki King II (also bracelet) and for working/painting/logging I have my trusty (and also extremely accurate) Seiko Solar 100M. Only a beater because it has 12 years worth of scars.

To answer your question about why a lot of people would rather Wear a G-Shock than a dive watch, mostly it's aesthetics, but some people just prefer a digital watch. They are more easily and immediately readable, at least for some people. You think that an analog watch face is inherently better if that's just what you prefer. If it's a dive watch versus an analog G-Shock, then I guess it is purely just down to aesthetics in that case

Dark minutes away from source energy though? Have low expectations for that to appreciate the lum level where it is advantageous. Great watch and review both easy to appreciate.
