What do watch depth ratings mean?
Posted by Darrell Spencer on
Watch depth ratings mean that the watch design has been tested at an equivalent water pressure at least once. The water resistance number on a watch does little to guarantee its performance in a real world environment. There is no universal standard for setting a watch depth rating, so if you want to see how deep a watch can go, you have to take it to that depth.
