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 often associated with terrorists and hipsters? With around $15 and some engineering know-how, can an affordable watch also venture into the deep ocean?

        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
