As I've already replied privately to a couple people, I use a Casio DEP600C - which is rated to 200m. I've had it down to over 80m (I think it was 89m) and it aligned exactly with my computer (Suunto Solution), my buddies Solution AND his analog depth gauge (+- 5' reading accuracy on the analog gauge), my analog guage stops at 150' (useless). This is a great watch with profiling capability, dive log memory, thermometer - the only thing it lacks is download capability... Cost was approximately $375 US and was given to my as my first fathers day present :^) I wear it as an everyday watch too! -Carl-
