Is a 200 meter water resistant eatch good enough to dive in?

Question

I am going to Florida and I am only going to dive about 30 feet.

Answer 1

200 meters is equal to about 655 feet, so if it's really 200m water resistant (most watches that claim this are grossly exaggerating by the way), then you should be more than fine diving with it to only 30 feet.

Answer 2

When a watch is rated as "water resistant", you're taking a risk any time it goes in the water. All that means is that probably, you'll be ok to the depth it's rated at. Not definitely.

A watch rated as "water proof" on the other hand, means exactly that. The watch is guaranteed by the manufacturer to be ok to the depth they rate it at.

200 meters is equal to over 650 feet

Answer 3

it is fine but if you want it to look nice dont it will get scratched

Answer 4

it depends on what kind of dive you are going to. if you are scuba diving, then yes, most likely. if you are going deep sea diving, then no. for 30 feet, then you should be fine, along as your watch is in good condition & quality.

Answer 5

For scuba yes it is but if you are renting scuba equipment they should have dive watches in the diving computers (if you haven't done this before you won't know a word im talking about but don't worry, they will explain everything) but yes you should take it in case they don't.

Answer 6

If your only going 30 feet it will be fine

Thats about 100 meters so you could go deeper
