In Response To: It isn't >>> ()

Ok this is really confusing. The watch is rated 'water resistant' to 30m/100ft but swimming in a pool is not recommended? Should they rate watches differently than they are now? To me (and to a lot of others I am sure) 30m/100ft means just that otherwise why label it as such?

: Some guy's claim to swim in them, but that's
: just asking for trouble. IF you get it wet
: washing dishes, bathing the dogs, fine. IF
: you want to swim AND a chrono, get a 300m
: Chrono Diver. That's not advice, that's
: instructions. There's a difference. {:o))
