If you are choosing a timepiece to swim or dive with, you should not think that any water-resistant watch is nice for such activities. Actually, there are timepieces of various water resistance: while some timekeepers can withstand long-time contact with water, other timepiece break down after short time after being in water. With a water-resistant watch on your wrist you should not worry if it contacts with water, however, you must remove such a wristwatch before taking a shower, because very few wristwatches are really water-resistant.
It is very important to read all markings on the timepiece attentively and to understand what these markings mean. A timepiece with marking “waterproof 3 ATM (30 m)” is not designed for swimming or diving. There are timepieces with higher resistance to water – to 50m, you ought to remove such a watch if you want to dive, but such a watch will withstand swimming. Only wristwatches that have water-resistance of 10ATM (100 m) and more are designed to dive with.
Also lots of persons think that replica wristwatches are highly water resistant, but this is wrong. If you are going to purchase a watch for diving, you have better buy a genuine timepiece, for instance a Rolex timepiece, but not a Rolex replica wristwatch. Keep in mind, that an imitation Rolex wristwatch imitates a genuine Rolex timepiece perfectly, but it is not so impeccable. Keep in mind, that both fake wristwatches and original wristwatches are not accepted for refund if being damaged by water.
