1. Plunge Partner
It may look basic, but the Mares Nemo ($600; www.mares.com) can calculate bottom times and decompression stops in both air and Nitrox modes. Bonus: It shows ascent rate digitally and in analog.
 
2. Cosmonaut
The svelte, leather-banded Yes Tati ($445; www.yeswatch.com) tracks time for 583 cities around the globe. For each, it displays the times for moonrise, moonset, sunrise, sunset, and even solar noon.
 
3. Secret Agent
Designed for Navy SEALs and regular grunts alike, the Suunto Military X-Lander ($389; www.suunto.com) has a barometer, altimeter, digital compass, and—new this year—sealed buttons you can press underwater.
 
4. Basic Strategist
How much info do you really need on your wrist? The Nixon Answer ($75; www.nixonnow.com) sticks to the essentials: the time, a timer, and an alarm. Sometimes simple is the best function of all.
 
5. Prince of Tides
The Freestyle Mega Tide ($200; www.freestyleusa.com) was made for competitive surfing heats, but with tidal information for 145 beaches worldwide,
it's also valuable to kayakers, sailors, and coastal hikers.
