Taking A $15 Casio F91W 5,000 Meters Underwater
Brands like Rolex and Omega will often tout their deepsea capabilities with the Rolex Deepsea Challenge rated to 11,000 meters (36,090 feet) and the Omega Ultra Deep coming in at a lesser but still ridiculous 6,000 meters (20,000 feet) of theoretical water resistance. But what about a cheap Casio of...
I wish the article didn't skip the part about how they filled it up with mineral oil that sounds cool.
They do mention there's lots of guides. I couldn't find a wikihow, but here's a forum link https://www.thewatchsite.com/threads/superlative-oil-filled-f-91wthe-making-of-the-superlative-oil-filled-casio-f-91.8273/
Back when stuff was mostly built to last. When pride still existed. Now the alarm function is behind an app and subscription...
The 91fw is still made to this day though. I have 3 of the things myself. My favourite watch to wear
Got some for my kids, they love them.

The deepest dive listed here is:
534 m (1,752 ft): COMEX Hydra 8 dives on hydreliox (February 1988 offshore Marseille, France).[2][4][10]
I guess you could build a submersible and put the watch on an arm outside the submersible or something.
Not that it's much closer to those insane watch depth limits, but saturation driving had a record of 700 meters or so.
It's an offering to Cthulhu.
This will go nicely with the Nokia 3310 we sent last year
I used to have one of those. Absolutely indestructible
My wristband snapped... So not completely.
Well yeah, the straps are junk. Zulu or NATO strap and you're set.
*incompletely indestructible, that is if you count the band as the watch. There's metal bands available if you want it to be tougher
