    Excellent choice of bracelet.
    I first thought it came with the watch. 😍👍

      It should! And hey, anytime Aquastar wants to hire me as a design consultant, I’m available.

    I like the ceramic bezel personally. It adds a bit of pop and interest. It may have been a bit boring otherwise. For me, the watch looks much better in the flesh than on camera. Currently I am wearing it on the Isofrane but also purchase the Aquastar bracelet. I’m curious how it will wear on it. Enjoy yours, it’s a great piece.

      Yeah, the ceramic is definitely growing on me. Plus it’s just nice to have some variation between the look of my two dive watches.
      Also, thanks for not saying “in the metal”! That phrase makes my soul hurt.

    Enjoying my Aquastar Benthos 500 founders. Mine is on a Prometheus NATO which works great in the ocean.

    Did that oyster style braceler come with the watch?

      No, I bought that from Strapcode.com. Well, actually I bought it from Amazon, but Strapcode makes it. It's called the "Hexad" bracelet.

    Ha! I’m just like you: I purchased a Citizen JP2000-08E and the Aquastar Benthos 500 II Founder’s Edition (such a long model name!) based on Jason Heaton’s preference for such timepieces. So far, I’ve taken the Citizen on a couple of dives at Catalina Island and off the Miami coast, and the digital dive log reflects those dives, but I’m really looking forward to diving with the Aquastar and timing my three-minute safety stops with the chronograph! 🤿

      That's awesome. You have great taste! Had a chance to use the Aquastar yet?

      @@working_mans_watches Thanks! Not yet, but soon! For such a chunky watch, the Benthos 500 II wears surprisingly quite well! It looks much better in-person than in photographs and has great wrist presence, but, in a world saturated with dive watches, it goes relatively unnoticed by the masses. I assume you’re going to get the BOR bracelet when becomes available next month?
      Have you received your Jason Heaton book yet? I received mine the same day I received the Aquastar. I thought the shipping from Aquastar in Austria and Swimpruf in Minnesota, USA was coordinated! Which one did you order with your watch? They’re both great reads!

      It’s heavy, but in a very pleasing way. Some guys prefer the lightness of titanium, but that’s just not me. Give me a heavy watch any day of the week!
