Can I swim with a 100m water resistant watch?

Yes, 100m water resistance is the minimum for pool swimming. For snorkeling and water sports, 200m is recommended. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before entering water.

What does 50m water resistance mean?

50m (5 ATM) water resistance means the watch can handle rain, splashes, and brief hand washing. It is NOT suitable for swimming or submersion despite the depth rating.
