1000 psi would be 700 meters under the water.
There are actual diving watches that are rated for 1km or more. The first image on the Wikipedia page for "diving watch" shows one rated for 3km. Rolex famously attached one of their prototypes to the exterior to the Trieste in 1960, and it survived the trip to the Challenge Deep.
