Diver Ready Legibility: Clarity in the water

On land, dive, digital and even sport watches have attractive designs. Do these designs we see on a regular basis above the waterline, translate into legibility issues below the water line. I tested several dive, digital and one sport watch to see what designs and features maintain legibility under water. This is not an evaluation of the dive features such as water resistance reliability. This evaluation focused on contrast and clarity of: dial, indices, hands, lume, and the bezel. What happened? Water simply amplifies legibility shortcomings above water into serious problems even a couple meters below the surface of a mountain lake. What dive watches do you see as highly legible in less than crystal clear water?
