It's fine for swimming. You'll probably want a different watch for more active activities (like surfing or actual scuba diving).
The Seiko SKX 007 is indeed discontinued. There's the Seiko 5 line but for actual diving you'll probably want to look at the Seiko Prospex series.
They have a bewildering selection of different models, with nicknames like the turtle, sumo, samurai, monster, etc. (those are all sub-$1000) -- many having a variety of different color options -- plus many other higher end Prospex models (some are $5000+).
Thanks for the info. I’ll start looking into those. No rush, though, because I’m mostly just in the pool at the moment.
