Is chlorine hazardous to my SMPC?

Is chlorine hazardous to my SMPC?

I recently purchased a new SS SMPC and am an active swimmer and sports enthusiast. I really enjoy the capability of timing laps and workout sessions that the chronograph offers me (can’t believe the button are water safe!). I also enjoy the fact that I can leave this watch on all day and it looks good with dress clothes (no need for me to keep track of two watches). The question is, is chlorine something I need to worry about? My practice is to rinse the watch with cool water after swimming. Intuitively, It seems that chlorine could be no worse that saltwater, but wanted to know if there are standard precautions or insight I should be aware of.

Thanks in advance.

As a side note: After the purchase, I became increasingly enthralled with the watch and started looking for web information to learn more about it and the industry in general. I don’t know how I found this site…but I’m grateful I did – Thanks for the site Derek and keep up the great work.
