Good to see the Cressi computer was giving accurate depth readings.
It looked like the watch and the dive computer were both showing 132 ft and 36 minutes remaining at one point.
I wonder if the JP2000-08e is the dive watch most often used for that purpose?

Love the on camera comaprison to the dive computer during a dive! Thank you for posting.
Great video. Nice to see the JP2000 in action. Out of all of my watch collection this is the most accurate. I only have to reset it once a year for a few seconds.
I agree, it holds by far the most accurate time of all my watches, and I can relay on its depth meter while freediving. It has to be one of the most underrated watches out there.
I have the JP2007-17W, my dad back in the 80s had the JP2000 for when he dived. It's a must to have on my wrist when I dive! Love it!
in the 80s he probably had a c020 or c022, the jp2000 is more recent, very similar but not the same exact watch.
@@vitellonealvapore877 only difference was the number of batteries, I believe the earlier references used 3 batteries instead of 1.
@@imarioiv Number of batteries (hence the entire module), bezel height, number of bezel clicks, back, total height of the watch, position and writings of the lcd screen, 200M writing are pretty much all the differences. Even the case shape and the position of the buttons are slightly different. Similar but not identical.
@@vitellonealvapore877 True stuff. I think you got most of it. My JP2000-08e is my favourite watch, even though I don’t dive any more.
Does it automaticaly start diving mode when you are in wather or you must set manualy?
Awesome - I can't wait to dive with my aqualand
I always Dive with my aqualand
Just purchased the BN2038-01L...can't wait to use it in L.A. in one of the Channel Islands...with my Shearwater Peregrine!
Great video. Reminds me of diving in the bay at Puerto Vallarta. I no longer dive, but I bought a JP2000-08e (with bracelet) 5 months ago. I synchronized it against GMT 4 months ago and since then it is only running a total of 2 seconds fast. I wonder how many other JP2000’s are that accurate, or is mine just a fluke? My titanium eco-drive BN2041-81L runs 9 sec fast per month, which is not a problem, but that’s not nearly as impressive as 0.5 sec fast per month. Both are great watches, but my favourite is definitely the JP2000. Great watch. I find the 24 mm lug width makes the bracelet to case connection so much more secure and comfortable. I wish all my watches were 24mm lug widths.
👌🏻
Any signs of altering and more differences in depth meters as more often it is used?
I havn't noticed any. However, I have not used it many times.
How many years will the CR2016 last this hour if I do not use its functions, depth gauge, stopwatch, alarm?
It should last about 2 years.
@@octaviorosousa9001 Interesting. I read in many places that the lifetime of the CR2016 battery can be 7 years, not just the 3 years claimed by the manufacturer.
@@ottohajnal2298 It can last longer than that in Casio watches in this particular watch is about 2 years remember the sensor uses a lot of battery energy, trust me I have 3 jp2000's and one jp2004.
Thanks for the footage. Good to see it in action. Considering this watch myself. When in dive mode does the watch automatically give you the depth and duration of every dive? I’ll be using it for freediving so multiple dives per session and need to rest on surface for 3-4 times the length of the previous dive. Many thanks for your help.
The watch gives you the depth automatically in dive mode on every dive. However, the diving time measurement is different. According to the manual "Diving time measurement automatically starts when the depth measurement is 1.0m (4ft) or deeper, and stops when the depth measurement is withing 1.0m (4ft). However, if the depth returns to 1.0m (4ft) or deeper within 10 minutes, measurement of the diving time continues to be displayed from the point when it was stopped." So the diving time measurement is really made for scuba diving and not for freediving. Maybe you could use the rotating bezel for the duration of the dive?
Very kind of you to take the time to reply - thank you. Was hoping to have an excuse to buy a nice looking watch but may instaed have to revert to a borng old dive computer!! @@otsoni03
