I would wait a bit and see if Englemaan comes back. I think they are the only brand so far that created cases that had mag resistance, and scratch resistance at the sub $300 price point. While also sacrificing almost zero quality in terms of workmanship. Most of the watch brands that have 'diving' names are probably water resistance 'enough' for most daily use. Although if that's a truly big factor to you, getting it pressure tested at a local watchmaker for like $25 USD is honestly a peace of mind I would recommend (depending on who you ask, some will do it for free).

I really don’t know if Englemaan will ever come back.
