A firm by the name of Bell & Ross has come out with a watch filled with an incompressible silicone fluid that is supposed to be waterPROOF to the bottom of the Mariannas Trench. The company is currently trying to get the gov't to allow them to use the term "waterproof" to describe their product.
I've had good luck from 20,000+ feet above sea level to 200+ below with certain Swiss made mechanical watches but i think most folks around here go with a Casio G-Shock.
