The best values in watches today are produced by Japan's Big Three: Casio, Citizen and Seiko. Casio never strays far from its special niche, digital watches, and stays in the bottom end of the consumer market. Citizen and Seiko produce far more diverse product ranges, in terms both of style and price. I pay a lot of attention to these two companies, as do all affordable watch enthusiasts. They produce a lot of interesting watches at great prices.
I would introduce you here to six Seiko diving watches (divers). All are currently in production and are among the more popular entry to upper-mid level models. Note that the Seiko SKX031 is not an ISO-rated dive watch. Many would consider it, strictly speaking, a sports watch with diver styling. But this is not of practical importance to most owners, who will use them only for "desk diving." Most divers prefer dive computers over simple diving watches.
Seiko SKX007 200m Professional Diver
Seiko SKX031 “Submariner”
Seiko SKX779/781 "Black/Orange Monster"
Seiko SBDA001/SNM011 "Samurai"
Seiko SBDC001 "Sumo"
Bonus: See now the review by Quartzimodo of the new sports versions of the Black/Orange Monster, which offer several variations of the Monster in a 100m sports watch.
Addendum [12/01/2010]: The Seiko SKX031 has apparently gone out of production. There are still some remaining in stock at a number of vendors, but prices have gone up. For smaller Seiko divers, there remains the SKX013, a 38mm version of the SKX007, and the SKX023, which is identical to SKX031 but 2mm smaller in diameter (38mm).
