If you are selecting a wristwatch to swim or dive with, you should not suppose that any water-resistant watch is good for such activities. Actually, there are wristwatches of various water resistance: while some watches can withstand close contact with water, other watches break down after a few minutes after being in water. Very few water resistant timepieces can be worn in water, all others withstand just a splash of water.
If you wish to know whether you can swim or dive with your wristwatch, you should read all its markings. Never swim or dive with a watch that has the marking “water-resistant” 3 ATM (30 m)”. There are timepieces with higher water resistance – to 50m, you should remove such a watch if you want to dive, but such a wristwatch will withstand swimming. The nicest wristwatches are those with water resistance to 10ATM (100 m), such timepieces are nice for diving.
Many people suppose that replica wristwatches are highly water resistant, but this is not true. Only original watches, can be used for diving, so a Rolex imitation wristwatch is not the nicest option for a diver. You must know that a fake Rolex timepiece imitates an original Rolex timepiece greatly, but it is not so fine. You must realize, that both replica timepieces and genuine timepieces will not be accepted for refund if being damaged by water.
