What Watches Are Good For Swimming?
A great number of customers suppose that a waterproof wristwatches are intended for swimming or diving. This is a mistake, because resistance to water of timepieces differs. Vast majority waterproof watches can withstand a very short contact with water, but these should not be used for swimming and certainly they cannot be used for diving.
It is very important to read all markings on the timepiece attentively and to know what these markings mean. Never swim or dive with a timepiece with the the marking “waterproof” 3 ATM (30 m)”. There are timepieces with higher resistance to water – to 50m, you must remove such a watch if you plan to dive, but such a wristwatch will withstand swimming. The greatest timepieces are those with resistance to water to 10ATM (100 m), such watches can be used for diving.
What to replica wristwatches, most of them are marked as water resistant, but this does not mean that these watches are intended for diving. Only original wristwatches, can be used for diving, so a Rolex replica wristwatch is not the greatest option for a diver. A replica Rolex timepiece is only a copy of a real Rolex timepiece, but it doesn’t have all the complications of the authentic Rolex watches. You should know that you will not be able to return your watch for refund, if the timepiece was damaged by water, no matter if it is a genuine watch or if it is from a catalogue of replica wristwatches.
