Well, I have not, but I presume I can still give you some advice, since I am the happy user (since around 1998) of an Aqualand II Titanium, and I still deem it the best watch for freediving (unless you go for watches you would wear only when diving).

Actually, I gave a thought about buying the Aqualand Eco-drive, but it lacks dive-time measurement, which I deem of the essence for a freediver (see the manual herehttp://www.citizenwatches.com.au/in ... nuals/B740). Aqualand II, on the contrary, has both depth and dive-time measurements (see http://www.citizenwatches.com.au/instru ... nuals/C500).

Moreover, the addition of two digital displays on the Aqualand II makes it more ergonomic... and the Eco-drive is not maintenance-free either, since Citizen advices on changing the gasket every few years anyway.

By the way, you may consider buying a Titanium watch, since rubber bands worn out relatively quickly and seriously water-proof watches made of steel are heavy.

Thanks for the great info!
I also checked on the dive time as this
Is crucial as you mentioned . On the model
JV-00055 it records dive duration and
Maximum depth which should be ok!
Have a great Christmas
Thanks Julian

I considered that one too http://www.citizenwatchesonline.com/shop/citizen-diver-titanium-promaster-cyber-aqualand-jv0055-00e/... but I did not like the design :(

Have a great Christmas and some great dives as well !
