You should be able to wear this timepiece in the tub, shower etc. Just don't go too far with the water activities. By the way, what is the company? CTWG Yes,

Tissot Swatch group watch with nice relationship to Omega-their watch is tested properly. Oris also very good watch I have sold in the past and like a great deal. You have two nice watches, both quality and very water tight. Keep the crowns screwed down and you should have no problem with either.CTWG Yeah, these are big names, nice watches in my opinion.

ISO2281 I know they say they have been tested, but are they for real? I have both of these diver watches and they never see water from the sink much less diving...I just love the weight, sizes and total over all look like most men do. Would love to know what you think.

Make sure these models have a screw down crown (a must). Always have your battey service or overhauls done by a pro, and then tell him your going to the bahamas tomorrow to dive for a personal record depth(150ft.) and you rely more on your watch than the dive computer.(If he squirms, still a pool watch) CTWG Ben,

One last question: what about 5 ATM watches? I've got two of them that I've swum with (never deeper than 10'!). Is that a safe depth? Thanks for the clarification, Chad.

The resistantance is measured in a tank, calm and steady the pressure is added, it does not take into account quick forces of water pressure. This is how most people break their watch. There is a gray area in the article, it was meant to give a nice basic outline. Stay dry! CTWG Ben,

I mean, I can't imagine that I'd ever go down to 99 feet, so what's the deal?
