Yes, there IS a need. Anytime you're showering in a health club, yacht marina, or other remote location, taking a watch worth three grand off your wrist is just asking to get it stolen or left behind. (And there was a post from some poor soul who DID leave his Seamaster behind... (:<)
In addition, if a watch is truly waterproof down to a 1000 feet, where the pressures are 442 PSI (29.5 atmospheres) the seals aren't going to be bothered by a little expansion or contraction at 0 PSI external pressure. BTW, while 442 PSI may not seem like a very large number, it's just slightly less than a quarter ton per SQUARE INCH of pressure, which would be about as much as me AND Chuck Maddox standing on only 2/3rds the area of a full size SeMP.
