key qualifier is "in the watch world" 30m is not very good.
- gnicholas 4y agoDoes “in the watch world” only apply to fancy watches? I have a $200-ish Seiko Kinetic and have never worried about rain, washing my hands, or even taking it in a pool. I don’t even remember what the rating is — I just know I looked at it once and decided not to worry about it because I never go below a few feet underwater.
- denimnerd42 4y agoprobably fine with a seiko but from what I recall you generally want to see 100m to never worry about it. I think 50m is general water resistance and 100m is maybe you can swim with it. probably better to confirm with your own research if you get a fancier watch in the future.
- pc86 4y agoIt seems pretty counterintuitive that "50m water resistance" wouldn't satisfy swimming in a pool.
- jimmyjazz14 4y agoon a Seiko its usually pretty good but again its kinda in the "it depends" category.
