Sony announced a new smartwatch designed specifically for divers. This watch aims to make underwater exploration safer and easier. The device tracks depth and dive time accurately. It also monitors water temperature and remaining air supply. Divers can see this information clearly on a bright screen.

The watch connects wirelessly to a diver’s air tank sensor. This gives real-time air pressure readings. Low air alerts warn divers early. This helps prevent dangerous situations. The watch also includes an emergency signal feature. Divers can send this signal to nearby buddies if needed.
Sony built the watch tough. It withstands deep ocean pressure. The battery lasts for several long dives. Sony used strong materials like titanium. The watch face uses super-hard glass. It resists scratches from rocks or coral.
The watch stores dive data automatically. Divers can review their dives later. They see depth profiles and time logs. This helps track progress and plan future dives. The data syncs easily to a smartphone app. The app keeps a full dive log history.
Sony focused on clear visibility underwater. The screen is bright and easy to read. The display adjusts automatically in different light. Big buttons work well even with diving gloves. The interface is simple to use during a dive.
Safety was a major goal for Sony engineers. They added a built-in compass for navigation. Getting lost underwater is less likely. The watch also tracks ascent speed. Moving up too fast is dangerous. The watch warns divers to slow down.
