Water Resistant

How water-resistant should my new watch be to swim?

I am looking to buy a watch which is 30.5m (100ft) water resistant.

I’ve had my “50m” water resistant watch for more than 10 years and it hasn’t leaked yet (used it for swimming in the pool and sea and while having showers, surfing etc.). However a) it’s inconvenient in real swimming anyway (prefer to wear not more than my speedos and it ruins the laminar hydrodynamics around your hand), b) pools have clocks and c) the chlorine or salt ruin the wrist band and possibly parts of the case.

If you are considering buying a watch that you would do well to determine water resistance rating before you buy. Watches always on their degree of resistance water in the case, if you buy online you should find this information on product specifications. Most customers who speak do not have a solid understanding of differences between ratings in part because of the different ways in which it records the same information. Is likely to come across these three ways to denote water resistance, bar, air or underground. 1 bar = 1 atmosphere = 10m.

It is important to remember that unless a professional divers watch is a specified Seeing is probably inadequate for prolonged use in water. The watches are water resistance test in laboratory conditions static for short periods. The result is that a rating of 10 million does not necessarily mean that the clock is being taken to handle that depth, it is merely indicative of the pressure of the clock can stand in a position yet.

Water resistance ratings

Some watches have only minimal resistance water, marked simply "water resistant". If this is the case, then the clock will be splash proof, but nothing more, which means you should not be used while washing or showering. If you need a clock that can be used for tasks that these days would be better to go with a watch with a strength rating water of at least 30 meters. Watches in this category are not suitable for swimming.

The next most common rating for water resistance is 50 meters to 5 atmosphere. These watches are suitable for swimming but not for diving as the pressure at the moment of impact with the water to exceed 5 atmosphere. If you want to do more to swim need a watch with a rating of 100m. A clock within this classification is appropriate for daily bathing, water sports and diving, but should not be used dash high or diving.

A clock in the class-resistant to 200 meters of water can be used for most water sports. If you are specifically looking for some divers to see, it is essential to verify that the clock is in line with international standards for watches divers. In general, the word "divers" be imprinted on the matter of the clock. There are more classifications of water resistance to 300 meters or more. In principle, the greater the number of water resistance of the more durable than the clock will be, although this depends on the quality of manufacture.

Tips for maintaining water resistance

Resistance water may be compromised if the buttons and the stem is screwed or not properly pressed. It is also advisable to have the pressure to see the test after the battery is changed, in order to be sure the water resistance has been maintained. The most common way to do this is to return the watch to the manufacturer to change the battery.

Not immediately worry if your watch has traces of condensation under the crystal. This can occur during a change in temperature, for example, diving cold water. Typically, condensation will disperse without intervention after a number of hours. Please advise your clock back to the manufacturer for examination.
