Water Resistance- The ultimate protection for your watch

The level of water resisting capacity of a watch is usually indicated in the form of depth. There are several methods available to make the water resistant . They are as follows:

Provision of gasket or ring to completely seal your watches from water
Some watches have a back that is screwed to the case which gives you a high degree of resistance

Even some have special crowns that further increase the level of water resistance

The following table will give you an overall idea to make a right choice depending on your need:
No Depth of water resistance Application
1 Water tested up to 30 meters Withstand splashes of water or rain
2 Water tested to 50 meters Suitable in sea water
3 Water tested to 100 Suitable for swimming and snorkeling
4 Water tested up to 150 Suitable for snorkeling.
5 Water-tested to 200 meters Suitable for skin diving
6 Diver's 150 meters Meets ISO standards and suitable for scuba diving
7 Diver's 200 meters Meets ISO standards and is suitable for scuba diving

Some useful tips to safeguard and handle your water-resistant watches are:
Don’t wear your watches in a hot shower, hot tub or sauna. Because of the extreme heat, metal cases tend to expand at different rates. This increases the co-efficiency of the thermal expansion of metal leading to the formation of small openings.

Don’t jump into water immediately after wearing the watch in a hot tub. The reason is because this sudden change in temperature will cause drastic variations in its performance.

When you swim or dive in salt water, immediately rinse your watch in a heavy stream of pure fresh water.

Don’t buy leather strap water resistant watches. This is because leather will be highly damaged when it is exposed to water.

Select water resistant watches with metal bracelet rubbers or nylon straps.

Lots of varieties of water resistant watches are available at different prices. The Seiko SLC033 water resistant will cost you around $200.

The Casio G-Shock water resistant watche s will cost you around $270 and it comes with features like solar power, steel case, and it has a gray colored theme which is dark and cool.
