      My automatic watch has 200m of water resistance or 660 ft and it is extremely more complicated and the WR50 doesn't refer to depth it refers to how much pressure it can withstand so his test and claims are absolutely wrong

    • @zacharystevens8751
      @zacharystevens8751 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      @@Chiefab22 not exactly. water resistance is not the same thing as water proof. The standard automatic dive watch is usually 200 meters water resistance. And many regular automatic watches, such as my orient bambino, have 30 meters water resistance, but that doesn’t mean it’s well equipped for 90 or so ft of water. It means it’s ok if you splash some water on it, but you should never go swimming with it, especially in salt water.

    • @ShaunKVideos
      @ShaunKVideos 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      It can theoretically go down to 50 meters but when the watch is moved in any direction down that deep such as swimmers moving their arms to swim, then the watch would fail because the pressure would be greater than that depth. That’s why they say no scuba diving.

    it would be cool if this same test was done 2 years after to see if it still is water and dust proof. I have had both a fossil smart watch and apple watch S3 break from being in the water but only after 1.5 years or more. On Apples site it does say soap damages the water proof seal over time so I think thats why both mine broke since I showered with them often.
