I just pre ordered the Divemaster Parma 200 then realized that nowhere on the description does it say that it has a unidirectional rotating bezel! It looks like it does have one but jut wanted to know for sure. Anyone here have any idea? Thanks for any insight!

Is it really that big a deal? Are you actually going to be timing dives with the watch?

The Android website doesn't say anything about the bezel being directional .

Quoting their site, which doesn't say, of course, "Brilliant colors and elegant touches make this polished pro-diver a must-have! The gleaming 47mm stainless steel case is topped by a unidirectional rotating bezel in anodized aluminum." You guys really need to learn to search! LOL

By the way, welcome to the forums!

Nah!...that's too much like work.

tc My bad, I thought you could time other things as well...

You can, but only need unidirectional when it's a safety issue. Every single other time, a bidirectional bezel is much more convenient.

"Desk diving" came to mind. But like the OP said, a directional bezel has other timing uses.:001_smile:

A ROTATING bezel allows one to time things.

A unidirectional rotating bezel is only necessary when you don't want the bezel to get bumped and read a shorter elapsed time than actual. The downside is that you have to rotate it over half a turn many times, instead of going straight to the minute hand.
