All is not what it seems with watch water resistance, you will not find a watch that claims to be waterproof. This is because no watch can be guaranteed totally waterproof.The different levels of water resistance as expressed in meters is only academic. They refer to the depth at which a watch will keep out the water if both watch and the water are static. So for example if you have a water resistant watch and you dive into a swimming pool the pressure on the watch at the point of impact with the water will be many times greater then if you were just placing the watch into the water.
