Dive watches are arguably the most popular style of wristwatch for men, and it’s not hard to see why.

With their classic good looks, high water resistance, rugged utility and reputation for adventure (hey, James Bond wears one), dive watches are a sensible choice for everyday wear; even if you’re nowhere near a body of water.

And when it comes to choosing a dive watch, there has been no shortage of tempting new options in 2026. From luxury watches like Grand Seiko’s best dive watch ever and Tudor’s improved classic to more affordable entries such as Squale’s perfect retro vision and Christopher Ward’s mil-spec tribute, there’s a new dive watch for every taste and budget.

Below, you’ll find more than 80 new dive watches we’ve covered so far this year. Good luck choosing a favorite.
