Whether you're cruising a reef at 30 feet or penetrating a wreck at 30 meters, you want gear that won't quit.
I'm a dive instructor, wreck enthusiast, and professional reviewer so I tend to be difficult to please when it comes to my personal tech purchases. And that's no different whether it's a laptop, gaming PC build, or scuba-friendly smartwatch.
So while we've been tracking the best Cyber Monday laptop deals, I've also had my eye on the best smartwatch/dive computer deals.
In fact, I always dive with the smaller version of the Garmin Descent MK 2, which is 18% off at Amazon. And I'm eyeing this Apple Watch deal to upgrade my usual pool fitness tracker since Amazon has shaved 10% off the Apple Watch Ultra 2.
Out of all the rugged smartwatches and watch-style dive computers, these are the three I'm eyeing for my own Amazon cart.

Other options to consider
If you want that old, school scuba brand name recognition with a more budget-friendly watch-style computer, the Scuba Pro G3 will set you back $800 full price.
If you're not as married to the watch form factor and want a great, reliable dive computer, I keep the original Shearwater Research Perdix next to my Garmin Descent MK 2S on my left wrist on every open water dive. You can get the updated Shearwater Perdix 2 Ti for $1,140. Or you can opt for the more wallet-friendly Peregrine, which is on sale for $550 for Cyber Monday.
While you can take other Apple Watches in the water, only the Apple Watch Ultra and Apple Watch Ultra 2 can take advantage of the Oceanic+ App to work as dive computers.
Today is a day of tech deal choices, but whatever decision you make, dive safe.
