elp 26 Posted April 1, 2015 Never been diving with my reps (except for the pool with my son), but been swimming about 8m down with my DSSD and PloProf, both KeNnY waterproofed and tested by me to 4 ATM. At the end of the day when you go diving the ATM rating is one thing, if it can be reliable after being banged against tanks & weights is quite another ....

RichardMiami 4 Posted April 1, 2015 NOTE: (to those who don't already know) Be careful with the XXX "Meters" rating. It is VERY misleading. What is really being tested is water pressure, not water depth and they are NOT the same thing. If you stand perfectly still at a depth of one meter, then you are experiencing one meter of pressure. However, if you move your arm so that the crystal is pushing against the water, you are increasing pressure exponentially. This is commonly known as "swimming". This is why they test with Atmospheric Pressures - it is a better representation of reality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chrisby 1 Posted April 1, 2015 I had to have a conversation with mine about life and death. That was sooo deep.... Serious answer: I don't take any of mine deeper than a few spots of rain...i sweat when I inadvertently wash the pots with it on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kimolaoha 0 Posted April 1, 2015 Interesting question. I suspect I'm in the extreme minority here, but I have always found it odd - unless there's a specific need to actually refer to the time in the water - that one would intentionally subject any watch to this unnecessary risk. Sure, many of them are specifically engineered to withstand the risk - some much more so than others - but why bother? I guess I'm the exception, but I would no longer wear a watch - even a beater - in the pool, the shower, or the ocean, than I would a pair of reading glasses - for which I'd have about the same degree of need for (actually, I'd probably now need the glasses to read the watch!). Hell, I take my watch off when I wash my hands. If I were a diver, or a triathlon-er, or a sailor, or had another similar need, then that would of course be a different story. And while I do take my watch off at the beach and stick it in my shoe, it certainly isn't a watch that I'd shite myself over if it were lifted. Anyway, that's my take.

gareth 2 Posted April 1, 2015 Okay I have pics to prove somewhere I had a tc lv 16610 with a gen insert and that's about it and it passed a test to 300m which is as good as it gets.... I've just bought a v6 pelagos and I'm hoping with a bit of grease I might get 30m. But I think in our world like the real world you get what you pay for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is why they test with Atmospheric Pressures - it is a better representation of reality. Even with those numbers, they don't directly translate to a particular depth in the gens. If you search google, there are many 'conversions' that tell you an approximation of the depth that's safe for each watch rating. But you are right, it's nowhere near the number of the rating because you are moving! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
