I am a master diver. And a tech diver. I absolutely dive with watches rated for 100m no problem. Recreational divers are limited to 60' so they are no where near any limit.

[@ChronometerCheck]

Good to know!

[@captainkaiii]

This. Way too many watch youtubers have a pretty bad take in jumping to conclusions about 100m resistance watches, including 5KX, and most of them have probably never gone diving in their life. 100m is fine for most divers, and is definitely fine for the pool.

[@Jasuta123]

100m WR is my standard .. it give you peace of mind to wear it anywhere

[@Ryan-cv9me]

Beat me to it. Came to the comments to look for this. I’ve seen somebody take a seiko five to 70ft with no issues.

[@repo4]

Out of all people you should know that 100m water resistance doesn't mean the watch can go down to 100m..

[@zanoswood2700]

100 meters? That’s 300ft. That’s more than enough, the average recreational diver goes around 40 ft deep.

[@austinkennedy7312]

Try 40ft. The majority of divers are only certified to a maximum of 60ft

[@zanoswood2700]

@@austinkennedy7312 I meant 40ft

[@andrewdryden2143]

100m of water resistance means basically nothing as far as certification. It’s only maybe on to go swimming in but not recommended. 200m is the standard for where it is actually water proof

[@TheMonsterHunterTV]

Scientist here. The 100m water resistance actually doesn't refer to water (i know lmao) it actually means 10atm. 10 atm are 10 times atmospheric pressure. That means it's the pressure of the atmosphere (air). 10 atm actually is the same pressure that water would inflict upon a surface at 100m depth than 10 times Our air-filled atmosphere would do to a surface the same size BUT the package-density of water molecues are FAR higher that the molecues in out atmosphere. So 100m water resistance will keep your movement dry while swimming but for actual diving you'll need at least a screw-down-crown. Just with a Screw down crown you'll take advantage of the so-called van-der-waals-forces that keep the water molecues together on a microskopic-scale. I hope i could help you.

[@gregtomaszewski563]

@@TheMonsterHunterTV casio Duro has no screw down crown and i did dive with it.

[@barrettwbenton]

Good point about pressure-testing, especially with an older watch. A few points, though: - There are plenty of watches that say "200m" (or so) on the dial. Relatively few of these watches are officially certified (say, ISO certification) for watertightness to a given depth, so you're essentially going on the say-so of the manufacturer. If you're dealing with the majors - Seiko, Orient, Citizen, Casio *et al* you should be okay. - ISO certification (which, BTW, covers stuff beyond just water-resistance for dive watches) has a minimum baseline of 100m as a standard. Many commercial divers rarely go beyond that depth on the day-to-day, and recreational divers rarely go past 50m. Your Jacques Cousteau-wannabes are in the extreme minority. But if you *must* have that chunky 600m diver, and have the bucks for it, I won't judge you...much. 😅

[@ChronometerCheck]

Both good points, and thanks for correcting me on the ISO certification baseline (100m instead of 200). Regarding your first point, absolutely. You should take the stamped WR rating with a grain of salt if not from a trusted manufacturer.

[@marcdaniels9079]

Yup watches can go way deeper than humans eg Rolex Deep Sea Dweller !

[@TurfSurf]

Casio has proven you wrong😂😂😂

[@Abhi-ff2cr]

100m for a dive watch is more than enough. You’ll be really more than a 5 m underwater.

[@TheLaughingOtter]

Another point...the screw down crown was not designed to keep water out, nor does it,,,that's the job of the seals. The screw down crown was designed so your crown doesn't' accidentally get popped open underwater. Sinn makes a 5000m Dive watch that is NOT ISO rated, nor does it have a screw down crown. The rolex Submariner, Sea Dweller and Deepsea are not ISO rated...yet, I've never heard of them being referred to as "Dive style Watches". I agree...servicing is key, bt that is for any watch you wear in the water.

[@pheddupp]

I happen to have a Seiko SRPD71K1, and an Orient "Kamasu," and the deepest water they see is in my shower/tub. I am a master desk diver and I approve of 100 meter WR. The Seiko does require quite a hard pull to get the crown out for setting the time, so I am confident in the crown gasket for now. Plus, I live in the New Orleans area, and we have incredibly high humidity and dew points most of the time, but my Seiko hasn't fogged up once so far.

[@randomaccount3364]

The first dive watch, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, has 100m water resistance and does not have a screw down crown. You obviously can't Diver's certify the first dive watch because its conception preceeds the existence of certification standards, and a screw down crown does not actually prevent water from entering the case, that's the job of the crown gasket. I wouldn't personally dive with something that isn't 200m or Diver's certified because 200m is in my mind the bare minimum modern standard that manufacturers who are serious about diving need to reach. But there's nothing wrong with only 100m resistance and no screw down case, the watch would probably survive down to 30ft at least.

[@routhstars]

I don't know how to swim, but own the Seiko 5, I buy for how it looks.

[@jp4431]

If anyone talks to you about dynamic pressure experienced when you move around, know that it's negligible compared to the static pressure which is based on depth. The depth rating is also based on specific tests which may differ from watch to watch. Certain standards carry more weight than others, but you may not be able to find out which tests a watch had been subjected to. Just dive with a dive computer or go with a 200m+ watch.

[@FlorinC1984]

The ruby dial Kamasu has a screw down crown and a solid back, screw down back-plate. It will do scuba diving just fine.

[@Overlord277]

From SCUBA divers I've spoken too, 10 Bar is enough to dive. You can't leave it submerged for days, but it's good for one session then it needs to get rinsed with fresh water and dried off.

[@TheJamie1965]

I used to dive with a 50m Casio as the backup to my computer. Several dives were to 50m (150ft) and the watch was fine. I have a Citizen dive style sports watch rated to 100m now, there is a KZbin video of this watch being put in a pressure chamber and taken to 200m before the watch stops because the back starts pressing against the mechanism. They take it to 1000m before the watch actually breaks.

[@barryt1174]

100. Met is more than enough for the recreational diver!!!

[@xgford94]

My SSK003 has been to 28m several times… no problem ( i use a dive computer so if it fails its just expensive not dangerous)

[@holikdenv]

Seiko 5 with 100m WR is actually tested by a pro diver to 30m and it didn't flinch, so at least 30m is okay for you to dive with it

[@Thijs25]

How often to release the gaskits? My dive watch i bought on chrono24 it is from 2017 i dive with it i only go arround 3 to 5 meters deep

[@Doflaminguard]

Why do they rate water resistance watches in meters and yet cant reach the rating that deep in water?

[@unbelievableproductions]

I think 100m is more than enough for recreational diving purposes, which most people average recreational diver will fall into. I would agree anything from desk diving to swimming in pool, river or ocean, 100m will more than suffice.

[@hulkslayer626]

@ChronometerCheck might be a legal way... like if the term "200 meter water resistance" automatically applies to diving, since that is the only way to resist 200 meters of water? 🤷😆

[@renngretsch]

My Seiko 5 has Diver's written on the dial. It's a Frankenmonster.

[@williamb8764]

The Kamasu isn’t a « true dive watch » per se. Crown is too small and it lacks the certification

[@ChronometerCheck]

True!

[@Crownof12stars]

I owned the kamasu. Its a good watch. But sold it. When i had it, i dived past 200 meters with it. An showered all the time with it. Very reliable. But crown was too small. I own now the orient star diver smurf. Perfect dive watch for me. Wear it day an night. Never will part with it.

[@hndnh11]

Where did you get the Jubilee for the Kamasu? Looks great

[@MRBP3D]

I never understood the meters they display on a watch. Unless you know, most people would think their watch is more protected than they are. I used to work for a company that serviced watches and had to explain that on a daily basis.

[@harrispage7000]

Not exactly right, the modern Seiko 5 Sports with SKX style case actually have the same water resistance as the first Rolex Submariner launched in 1953👍

[@ajlive589]

I know a professional diver who has used his Seiko 5 GMT for some jobs. Push-pull crown, non-ISO certified, only 100m resistance. And what do ya know?Everything was gravy! The number of divers that go past or even near 100m is few. At this point i think its just a marketing strategy for these brands. And well, for us suckers in the watch community 😂

[@anthonyb2990]

100 meters is plenty.. most people dive UP to 50 meters if that, usually dives are around 20-30.

[@p.s4677]

Honestly, how many wearing a dive style watch actually go diving that often? If you do, then it might be wise to have a watch oly dedicated for diving.

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

You can totally dive with watches that have 100m water resistance. Sure it’s great to have piece of mind and get a PADI dive watch but most watches are fine for diving at that rate.

[@colinhines9552]

Imo water resistance is something too many people get hung up on. How many of us are actually going scuba diving with our watches? 99% of us are either going in the pool or to the beach. If you love the watch just go for it.

I dove with my g shock and never anything happened. I did so with a Casio Duro. Omega sea master died at 25 meters. Go figure. Dive watch my a***.

[@EEE_MMM]

Even if a watch has zero water resistance, you can still dive with it. Just don't expect it to keep working 😉

[@Dazulolwarrior]

Perhaps the better way of saying it is that even though it's listed as 100m of WR it may not hold up to it due to pressure differences while moving with the watch.

[@carywatmore]

Seiko 5 sports is good enough for recreational diving- usually up to 40 meters. And that’s deep. Besides no one still uses a traditional dive watch for any technical dives. Even recreational divers these days don’t use dive watches. Besides if you do want to use a dive watch like a Squale then it needs to be inspected every year and tested. Don’t play with your life just to test a watch.

I have a watch that claims 200m but it doesn't have a screw down crown, so in my book it's actually no more than "splashproof".

[@imsergio]

Get a decent quartz watch, change the battery and hydromod it. You'll be fine for 3 to 5 years.

[@nunchaks700]

Just because the watch doesn't have ISO certification as a dive watch doesn't mean it cannot be used as a dive watch

[@tenzinsmith7991]

[@Christopherjoe]

99% of people who own dive watches are not divers so this is mostly irrelevant. People just like the style, and of course there’s a desire to own a capable, certified dive watch, maybe even with a fancy helium escape valve even though most don’t even know what that is for. It’s just more features. Most pilot watches aren’t worn by pilots. Most basketball sneakers never see a court.
