I love your reviews! An important point that you overlooked is that ISO certification costs a lot of money, and, in fact, tests watches not only for water resistance, but certain other parameters as well. For this reason micro brands tend to skip it, and yet test the water resistance of their watches rigorously. Thus it is safe to assume, in my opinion, that diver watches manufactured by quality brands such as Phoibos, Zelos and Long Island Watches (for example), are indeed fit for scuba diving.
Okay...I’m going to chime in as a certified lifeguard who regularly dives to practice saves in deeper water than most watch people will ever take their watches. I swim with my 50m timex expedition and it’s never had an issue. I also dive with my 100m watches. I would rather have my gshock or my duro, but I’ve never had a problem with 50m timex swimming.
Interesting points! You should not believe on what is written in the watch, unless it's from a good brand. For example, I already scuba diving on the ocean with a Swatch with 30min of resistance. I was expecting to break the watch (I was testing the watch) and it passed. It was 20 years ago, and I still have this watch!
Thanks for this video. I learned a lot about this subject.
Casio digital watches with 50+m are absolutely fine for showering from my experience

Chris Kiederer nice! Good call... yeah, only have a few watches on leather straps, I definitely take precaution getting the straps wet.
Based off of the "watch and learn" video on this topic from Mark over at long island watch, I can say that the amount of impact from water needed to significantly increase the atmospheric pressure on your watch would be so great that damaging your watch would be the last of your worries. Also diving at, or past, 100 meters is insane. At 300 ft below the surface you are talking about serious technical diving involving tri-mix gas and staged tanks for long decompression. Frankly a 100M water resistant watch from a reputable brand should be more than enough for SCUBA diving, no less taking a dip in the pool. Also, while showering does, in theory, stress the rubber gaskets in your watch, I have yet to see any significant evidence that it actually poses a threat to it's water resistance. If anything I have mostly seen anecdotal evidence that it is totally fine.
Good stuff! Thanks for the helpful information!
Thanks Oleg. Great Guide! Hi Bond🖖
Informative video. I never swam in water under 100-meter water resistance, the depth ratings are different than the build quality for sure. I take my cheap Casio's for swimming the plastic ones. If it breaks no big deal but never had a problem. You made a good point about taking them in the shower. I never have done that but I did not realize soap can damage the seals or gaskets.
Well said. Not many people like hearing the truth, but you have my respect. And everyone's respect, who loves watches.

Very nice video. I really enjoyed it.
I agree with nearly everything you’ve said though I’d definitely take a 100m WR watch swimming if it was from a reputable brand even without a screw-down crown (but probably not surfing). Same with a 200m non ISO if I went diving (which I don’t do anyway!). However, the entire rating really needs changing as it’s extremely misleading. I wonder how many time people have gone swimming with a pricey 30m WR watch thinking it would be more than adequate only to find water got inside and it was ruined. The manufacturers often don’t even include the rating instructions in with a new watch when you buy it which is unacceptable imo.

I have a watch a tagheuer 300m quartz chronograph i used the pushers inside a mug while submerged is it damaged or is it ok i did not see any damage even after many years but i am still confused.
Very interesting. I remember I got a Fossil as a gift, it had 30m we, were it in a pool and it leaked, of course. I did not know at the time with these ratings meant. The only watch a wear in water is my G-Shock, it’s 200m wr, never had a problem with water. If you are actually going diving, the warmest the water would ever be would be in the low 80s F. In many cases professionals would have to be in very cold water. Showers or hot tubs can be way over 100 F, it is possible you could get water ingress do to expansion from high temperatures.

Expansion causing potential leaks is actually the opposite of what happens. The rubber materials the seals are made of are much more susceptible to expanding than the metal housing of the watch itself. Because the seal expands more than the housing it’s in, it actually makes an even better seal at higher temperatures

Trial and error.. I used a Casio F91W and a Edifice while scuba diving a few years back. Dont think there is a single Casio out there that you could NOT take diving. Perhaps the old calculator.. I never dive with anything too expensive in the first place.
All good advice Oleg. The only watch I wear in a swimming pool is the Casio Dura because it’s new and IF it failed (it won’t), it’s cheap to replace. Been honest that was an experiment anyway as I can’t see a good reason to wear one if your just going for a swim. Any other water based activity I never wear a watch. End of.

Better use gshocks for water activities. Garmin use for sport activities like cycling and joking.
So, I always hear if you get your battery changed the WR is no longer viable and I have heard watch places say not to go swimming after a battery change (even on 100M watched) Is that true for quartz - dive watches?
Question about 200 meters WR, NOT ISO certified. Is it safe taking it scuba diving to a depth below 20 meters?
I've swimmed with multiple 30m resistant watches. Here's a quote from Wikipedia: "Movement induced dynamic pressure increase is sometimes the subject of urban myths and marketing arguments for diver's watches with high water resistance ratings. When a diver makes a fast swimming movement of 10 m/s (32.8 ft/s) (the best competitive swimmers and finswimmers do not move their hands nor swim that fast) physics dictates that the diver generates a dynamic pressure of 50 kPa or the equivalent of 5 metres of additional water depth."
Thanks for that video, its so hard to explaine that to casual watch users, Now I'll just link them to this video🤣

Absolutely correct. If one would a 100M watch to 100 feet diving and it floods, it will be the divers fault and have no warranty coverage. If it is an ISO rated diver watch, they are each tested and should be safe to take diving.
Interesting video Oleg. Gshocks are rated at 200m with pushers and there's video evidence to show their integrity at those depths. A bit of an oddity would be the orient mako XL I got recently that has a both a screw down crown and a pusher to change the day but is rated to 200m so I would assume the design has been pressure tested at that atm? I do like the security of a screw down crown but would have no worries with a gshock below 100m. Ps, Did you not wrap up Bonds present?🙂
Hi Oleg and Mr Bond , mate I agree with everything you said about the water resistance , however I have a submariner homage by Reganld 30m with screed in solid case back and push pull crown with gaskets so I decided to test it in the pool , I've worn it in the pool every summer at least 3 times per summer and it's never let a drop of moisture or water in it so I guess it does get confusing ...

Don P yea. A better analogy would be. You crossed the road when the light turned green and you were fine. But one day you crossed the road when the light was red. And you died. Sooo if your watch says 50m. Don’t go past 50m. Easy
For over 20yrs I wore the same 100m (screw down crown but not dive watch) as a beater, insomuch as I didn’t once remove it in order to do anything in particular. Each day it would be in out of hot soapy water with frequent swimming, high impact sports use, occasional high diving (the very high feet first variety but don’t think the watch knew that) adventure stuff and lots of DIY usually resulting in being covered in paint and all manner of oil, dust grit and gunk on a fairly regular basis. When washed and buffed (plastic crystal so easy scratch removal) always looks better than new (thank you Duraglit). Never leaked and never* lost more than a second a day. *Serviced once at 15yrs. The moral... if you go diving make sure you have a proper dive computer. For everything else look after it but don’t protect it, wear it.

My Luminox watches have 200m water resistant but no screw-down crown I wonder how they achieve that
i worked two years as a lifeguard and used regularly my cheap vostok russian watch that is rated 3 atm.

Oh also hot tubs. Doesnt leak and i still wear this vostok while i am writing my comment.
I had my attention brought to a diving magazine that was commenting on diving gear the only watches that they actually said they would bring in the ocean are ISO certified seiko's or citizens I think the only watches I have that are ISO certified are citizen

I went free diving with my 100m pulsar, at a maximum depth of approximately 10 meters. It’s still okay and I don’t have any trouble with my watch! I’m curious if you can really dive with a 100m watch at a depth of 15-20 meters. I am probably going to test it next year when I go scuba diving because the watch was inexpensive… Has anyone dived with a 100m watch?
Cool water story bro.

How can I tell the difference between a screw down crown and a non-screw down crown?
Do you and others consider the Komandirski 100m ok for deep freediving, say 20 meters? I am watching your video while my wife is napping so I cannot hear it :( Nice channel!
As I get more and more into wrists watches, I go from everyday-wear-divers/watches, with a water resistant of around 30-200+ meter water resistance, back to my old (15+ years) “real dive watch”, a digital watch with depth gauge, temperature measurement, bottom timer, automatic safety stop-countdown and more… And i have been on 40 meters dives with it, and it has only has 120 meters of water resistants! and most other “real dive watch” i can find, don’t even mention the water resistant at all, or it’s only 100-120 meters. Also i have changed the battery several times myself Also when i go swimming (3 times a week) I wear a 100 WR Casio, never fail me
That’s why I love my Vostok!!
One thing that is missing from this video, in my opinion: the process used to rate water resistance. What I mean is most people who are not into watches or who are just getting into it will take a water resistance rating at face value (ie “30 m” means I can take my watch 30 m deep, which is not true. They then don’t understand why they cannot wash the dishes while wearing that watch.

So, if a big manufacturer (say, Casio) says that their watch can withstand 100 meters, they are lying? Explain that to me. Dynamic pressure is minimal, and things are rated with extra margin. So there is no reason why a 100 m watch shouldn't be able to go that deep.
Good to know
Beg to disagree. I have an old Timex Indiglow from my late grandfather, only 30m WR and I have washed it under running with toothbrush many times with zero issues. Same argument with 50m WR Seiko 5; swimming was not an issue, even slalom water skiing yielded no problem. The purpose built skin divers of yore were usually only 100m WR, the original Zodiac Seawolf @ 200m WR had a snap on case back and push crown.

Screw down crown and case back. 30m is basically splash proof. But I wouldn't risk getting it wet tbh.
