I'm A Watch Collector And This $45 Diver Is A Must-Have
I'm no certified horologist, but I do spend a fair share of my free time immersed in the online watch community and scrolling through a social media feed curated for wristwatch obsessives like myself. (Heck, my fiancé even proposed to me with a watch — but that's a story for another time.)
I own roughly a dozen watches at this point, so I've had to implement the 'one-in, one-out' rule. Yet this dive watch always escapes the cull. Why? Because it nails the perfect beater formula where function meets style, all at a price that's... well, unbeatable.
This maritime staple channels the classic dive watch aesthetic, echoing the design language of the iconic Rolex Submariner. Its stainless steel case measures 44 millimeters wide and 12 millimeters thick, offering a bold presence on the wrist that, as a number of Amazon reviewers have also noted, looks (and feels) far more expensive than it is.
The unidirectional bezel features a sturdy click and an anti-reverse mechanism. And like any good dive watch, it's water-resistant up to 200 meters (656 feet), with a durable mineral crystal protecting the dial. Unless you're deep-sea diving, this is more than sufficient for office wear, poolside dips, or beach trips.
Refined details — like a date window at the 3 p.m. mark, a raised diver's marker on the bezel, and luminous hour and minute arms with a sweeping seconds hand — enhance both the watch's look and utility.
The Casio dive watch is available in several striking dial and bezel combos, including black and blue sunburst finishes that catch the light beautifully. It also comes with two interchangeable strap options: a sporty resin band and a stainless steel bracelet for a more polished look. With a standard 26-millimeter lug width, you can easily swap in any strap you prefer — leather, silicone — you name it. Versatility is the name of the game here.
Casio claims the included battery lasts over three years, and I can vouch for that. I've owned mine for just as long, and it's still running strong with minimal adjustments needed over time.
Don't just take my word for it — over 44,000 Amazon reviewers have given it a five-star rating, praising its style, durability, and everyday functionality. The verdict is simple: the Casio dive watch is one of the best value dive watches for men. Check out a few of the most helpful reviews below, or keep scrolling to add this to your cart.

Bose's QuietComfort Headphones are $130 off for back-to-school season
Finding peace among the chaos on campus can be more challenging than a midterm. But a quality pair of over-ear headphones can block out distractions when it's time to lock in. If that sounds like you, we've found a deal on the Bose QuietComfort Headphones, which are currently down to $229 ($130 off) at Amazon, Bose, and Best Buy. That's within $30 of the lowest price we've seen all year. The Bose QuietComfort Headphones are part of the company's revamped lineup of headphones and earbuds, which also includes the pricier QC Ultra Headphones, QC Ultra Earbuds, and entry-level QC Earbuds, the last of which is down to $149 ($30 off) at Amazon, Bose, and Best Buy. The QC Headphones preserve the comfortable design of the QC45s and include Bose's excellent noise cancellation. Although we haven't reviewed this specific model, the upgraded QC Headphones Ultra is our favorite noise-canceling headphones for travel, and we're generally fans of the line's comfortable earcup cushions. There are two listening modes — Quiet and Aware — that let you quickly toggle between blocking the outside world and letting ambient noise in. Additionally, Bose says the QC headphones offer up to 24 hours of battery life, so you should be able to get through a full day without needing to recharge. The headphones also support multipoint connectivity, making it possible to pair them with two devices simultaneously. And when you're finally done writing that last-minute term paper, the QC headphones can neatly fold up to make it easier to store them in your bag.

Amazon Warns AI Capacity Limits, Stock Retreats
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) slid after its earnings call because Andy Jassy was blunt: AI demand is real, but the company can't just snap its fingers and supply enough capacity. Electricity and chip shortages are the choke points, and he said it will take several quarters to work through it, even if things slowly improve each period. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. He pushed back on the idea Amazon is losing the AI race and leaned into the spend$31.4Billion of AI-heavy capex in Q2 is the kind of run rate the back half is built on, with more going into chips, data centers and power. Tariffs haven't bitten yet in H1, he said, but who ends up paying higher U.S. rates later is still unclear. That caution rubbed some investors the wrong way. Lucas Ma of Envision Research warned the heavy investment and mounting competition from GOOG (NASDAQ:GOOG) and META (NASDAQ:META) could squeeze free cash flow, making capital allocation riskier if the AI arms race keeps accelerating. Amazon is chasing a big AI opportunity while bumping up against real limits, so growth hinges on execution and capital discipline. The next signs to watch are whether capacity actually ramps as promised and whether margin or cash flow pressure shows up once tariffs shift. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

I've been tracking deals for 18 years and I've never seen MacBooks this cheap — back to school deals from $599
I've been using Macs since the Performa 637CD. It was an epic machine with a 33 MHz 68LC040 processor, 8GB of RAM, 350MB HDD, and a 2x CD-ROM. Today's Macs blow that machine out of the water and with back to school sales underway, I've spotted some of the best MacBook deals of all time. If you're on a tight budget, Walmart has the MacBook Air (M1) on sale for $599. Yes, this model was released in 2020, but that M1 chipset can still provide enough horsepower for basic Web-based tasks and it's great for young students who aren't editing photos or 4K video. If you can spend a bit more, the current-gen 13-inch MacBook Air (M4) is on sale for $799 at Amazon. This is the deal I'd personally buy because you get a powerful M4 processor coupled with 16GB of RAM. That's enough to get you through four years of college and then some. The new MacBook Air is powered by Apple's latest M4 chipset. It upgrades the camera from 1080p to 12MP with Center Stage support. The M4 chipset also supports dual external monitors, even when you have the laptop's lid open. It packs a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display (2560 x 1664), Apple's M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M4 review, we said the Editor's Choice laptop is irresistible thanks to its speedy performance, sharper camera, and lower starting price. Prefer a bigger screen? The 15-inch model is also on sale. It packs a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display (2880 x 1864), Apple's M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. The MacBook Air M1 offers fantastic performance and value. The M1 CPU never stuttered in our tests and also helped it reach over 14 hours of battery life. It features a 13.3-inch Retina display, Apple M1 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M1 review, we said it offers amazing endurance and shockingly good speed. For $100 more, this deals gets you an M2 chipset and — more importantly — 16GB of RAM. That extra RAM is the reason I'd recommend this machine over the M1-based model as it'll give you a better experience when it comes to multitasking. The laptop is remarkably light and thin yet sports a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, a speedy Apple M2 CPU w/ 8-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, and a great 1080p FaceTime camera. In our MacBook Air M2 review we lauded this Editor's Choice laptop for its versatility and battery life, so don't miss your chance to get one at a great discount. The 13.3-inch MacBook Air (M1) for $599 at Walmart is a good deal, but one I'd only recommend to students on a very tight budget. Otherwise, I recommend spending a little more for the M2 or M4 model which each come with 16GB of RAM. If you don't need a laptop — consider getting the Mac mini (M4) for $539 at Amazon. (Just note it's sold for $499 in the past, so this is a good price, but not the lowest). Otherwise, I'd say the 13-inch MacBook Air (M4) is the best MacBook you can buy and one of the best laptops on the market. I don't foresee these laptops getting any cheaper come Labor Day, so now is the best time to purchase one.
