Don't take this the wrong way but: That thing doesn't even have a respectable water-resistant rating, I was very exciting when I clicked on that link because I'm in the market for a new watch, but I need something that can take more than a couple drops of water...
For comparison: My first two watches lasted 2 years each and costed me ~$10 a pop plus they had a WR rating of 300m. Sadly they looked kinda juvenile and I needed something with a little more status, but I'm leaning on just going back because they really worked!
- mcintyre1994 13y agoDoes 30m (99ft) not translate to approx 30 meters/99 foot underwater for watches? If you want a watch to go diving in fair enough, but the way I read that it seems a fair bit more than a couple drops of water?
- vxNsr 13y agoso it's strange but that's not quite how it works, Here's a pretty good explainantion of what those numbers actually mean: http://deloachwatchservice.com/other_stuff/water_resistancy.htm http://deloachwatchservice.com/other_stuff/water_resistancy....
- mcintyre1994 13y agoWow, thanks for that! I'm in the market too so I'll definitely bear that in mind. Bizarre that they advertise them numbers without such an explanation.
- lewaldman 13y agoI think all depends on your usage... I personally never bath with a watch on and never go swimming with this particular watch (I have another one that I use mainly for outdoor activities. A Casio rated to 100 meters). I really dig watches, and when you start to collect some of them you actually find it's quite fun to chose the right one for the right ocasion! :)
