In Response To: Some odd questions.. ()

Question 1: No. the semaster needs it's crowns to be scewed in for watertightness. the helium crown retains *some* resistance unscrewed, but I wouldn't push it. they screw in for a reason

Q 2: actually it is probably capable to a depth not as deep as 300 m. this has been explained many times before and better than I am able to explain. but here goes: the water resistance listed on the watch is the deepest it could possibly go assuming that the watch was not moving and the water was not moving. either would cause additional pressure that would be too much.

If your hand is in one foot of water, then you don't feel any pressure, right? but if you suddenly moved your hand quickly, it would be hard and you would feel pressure on your hand and arm.

the same thing would happen to the watch, assuming you could get down to 300m anyway.
