What happens when you send a 1000m watch to 6000m

[mikeylacroix]

6000m, pressure tested to 6000m in water, 16.5mm thick including crystal, grade 5 titanium and super light and comfortable to wear
Attachment 21807
Almost deep enough for the hot tub

No soap. We all know its the soap that screws up everything...

I for one, am fascinated by stuff like that; would have got a real kick out of watching those implosions.
That's how we learn new things about the materials & construction of 'things' by pushing them to the limits and beyond.

From my knowledge of diving and the deep, you have more to worry about than your watch at 6000 metres or 1000 for that matter.

1000m is where sunlight stops, and beyond the test depth (max peacetime operating depth) of nuclear subs
So, short of being covered against the possibility of dropping your watch into the Marianas Trench, why do you even need 1000m?

... why do you even need 1000m?

For the same reason that some buy cars capable of 200mph when the speed limit is 70mph It's a boy thing

Speaking of Seiko dive watches - Have you guys seen the recent MM1000 pics on f21?

That watch literally leaves me speechless

Like this, I imagine

I'm all for elegant solutions to engineering problems - 'simplicate and add lightness'

Maybe they need to rethink the materials.. creatures essentially made of jelly can happily swim around at those depths
