Watch brands decades ago used to use the term "waterproof".  This term was banned by the FTC as it was deemed misleading.  We occasionally see some brands still using the term "waterproof".  If you see a brand use this term, run, don't walk away from them as their marketing practices are deceptive and illegal under US law.
