DIVEROID WatchDive Brings Dive Computers To Smartwatches
DIVEROID WatchDive wants to turn smartwatches into dive computers by using a special sensor housing. DIVEROID WatchDive also lets users sync dive profiles. Add action camera footage through the DIVEROID app.
DIVEROID is preparing to launch a gadget for divers. The new device will help make dive gear easier to use. It has a case, special sensors, and software that works with smartwatches. Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch models can display information underwater. The system also talks to DIVEROID’s app. After you return to the surface, you can review your dive details. The app also shows footage from action cameras alongside your dive records. Below is what the new product does and how it works.

DIVEROID WatchDive Brings Dive Computers To Smartwatches
DIVEROID is preparing to launch WatchDive, an accessory that turns Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy Watch models into dive computers.
WatchDive uses a pressure‑rated case, built‑in pressure and temperature sensors, and a companion app. This gives divers underwater information without needing a separate dive computer.
Unlike smartwatch apps that rely only on the watch’s own sensors, WatchDive uses a special case to measure underwater conditions.
The case measures depth and water temperature. The connected smartwatch shows the readings through the WatchDive app.
During a dive, you can see data such as depth, time underwater, water temperature, no‑decompression limit (NDL), safety‑stop guidance, and ascent‑rate alerts.
The system also has a compass and supports Nitrox diving. DIVEROID says WatchDive uses the Bühlmann ZHL‑16C decompression algorithm with Gradient Factors to calculate decompression guidance.
One of WatchDive’s attractions is that it works with regular smartwatches. The first version, which includes a case and an app, supports Apple Watch models, including the Ultra series, and selected Samsung devices, including Galaxy Watch4, Watch5, Watch6, Watch FE, Watch7, Galaxy Watch Ultra, Watch8, and Watch9 models. The smartwatch is sold separately.
DIVEROID also plans an option for smartwatches with built-in depth and temperature sensors, such as Apple Watch Ultra models and Galaxy Watch Ultra2. This option will come later. It is not part of the first launch.
Documenting Your Dives
WatchDive also makes it easier to keep a dive log by linking with the mobile app. When you finish a dive, the recorded profile can sync with the app. This lets you review dives in a digital logbook instead of writing them down. The synced data lets you review dive profiles and keep a history of underwater activities.
Another cool feature is its integration with action cameras. DIVEROID lets you bring footage from cameras like GoPro, Insta360, and Canon into the app alongside your dive logs.
This can make organizing photos and videos easier. For example, if you film reefs or marine life, you can view the footage alongside the dive record. Bringing memories with dive data makes the digital logbook more useful for reviewing past experiences.
However, DIVEROID has not said whether each video clip will automatically match exact depth readings or timestamps. So the feature should be seen as putting camera footage with dive records, not as guaranteeing automatic video‑to‑depth sync.
Durability and Safety
DIVEROID says WatchDive’s case passed water‑resistance tests up to 60 meters while the recommended operating depth is 40 meters. The company also says it has done open‑water field testing. The 60-meter test does not certify the whole system.
WatchDive is meant for diving and should not replace proper diving training or established safety procedures. Its real‑world reliability and decompression performance will need independent testing.
The first 100 backers are expected to get an early-bird price of Rs 13,500, while the intended retail price is Rs 27,000. Later crowdfunding tiers should start at Rs 18,000.
The company also advertises its core dive‑computer features without a subscription. It will become clearer whether WatchDive can be an alternative to dedicated dive computers as the product nears its crowdfunding launch and undergoes more testing.
