If you have questions about Quartz, it might help to know a little bit about how that question came around.
To understand that, it helps to know a little about the Horological community. Keeping time is probably one of the least important things that a watch can do. The more complex the movement, the better. And durable/servicable is high on the list of important things.
When quartz came out, it was unproven. You cant put in a new gear to fix it....and to some in the Horological community, the soul of the watch was missing because the complex gear movement is gone.
Today though...the tech is proven. Quartz is highly accurate. More accurate than Mechanical. Quartz has proven to be durable. It can run for decades. You still need to replace
the entire movement, unlike mechanical, but this has become less of a thing.
Of course, the complex movement is still gone...and this is why some still shy away from it.
But...for the most part, those who are considering this watch are not terribly concerned about complex movement.
The only real knock that I would have on this watch is that the glass is not sapphire. It will scratch more easily.
But it is $40....so one needs to be realistic.
Classic diver and holds it's own against Seiko. Before someone says Quartz, remember quartz movements can costs thousands rivalling the best automatics. https://youtu.be/IQt3ik4yn1M
Love the Duro. Haven't seen the Pepsi dial for 40 before, but the all black and all blue drop to 40 often and can be found at Walmart for that price too.
I have owned this watch for 5-6 years and it is going strong, love it. I am in the water all the time, and this has survived many salt water freediving spearfishing trips, which for me is down to about15' below water.

Those aren't "dive watches"
They dont have an easy to read timer for dive time.
The OP post is an actual dive watch. One way directional outer bezel. It allows you to either set your dive time OR to track your dive time. This is important for calculations later. Most divers use a dive computer, but this is good enough for <100 recreational diving.
It is also VERY easy to read at depth
