Then I got the Tissot PR 100, same usage. Now I have a Rolex GMT-II, same usage same toughness. None of them leaked water. As long as the watch is rated 100m (or even 50m) diving depth, you need not worry. Yes you have to make sure that at least in Tissot, Rolex and Omega the winding knob is fully screwed in. It has an o-ring to keep the water out. |

I am very happy and comfortable doing that with my casio but i stay away from water with the seiko and the Tissot - purely a caution related directly to expense! :) |

Maybe this is a silly question - but is there a simple digital watch (like Timex NA33 Ironman) which actually work for dives? |

No wonder it broke, because unfortunately if it says 50m, doesn't mean you can take it to actually 50m depth! Have a look at the table at the bottom of this Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Resistant_mark Ot his one: http://www.prestigetime.com/page.php?waterresistance For diving it needs to state at least 200m, even if you only go down to 12m. Stupid system, I know, but there you are! Jeroen |

But I'm not interested in really spending on the watch (got many other avenues) - just want something robust I can swim regularly with, and take to my twice-a-year dives. |
