Personally, I just want water resistance for protection against accidents. I'm careful, but I've spilled a drink on my phone. I know people who've bent over and had their phone fall out of their pocket into water. I don't trust water resistance well enough to intentionally get the phone wet. But I do think it's probably good enough to greatly reduce the odds of damage in case of an accident.
