Water resistant watches for men are available in various degrees. That a men’s watch is waterproof does not automatically mean that you can dive into the sea when wearing it.
Whether a watch is suitable for this or not depends on the water resistance, indicated by the number of meters, ATM (atmosphere) or bar (air pressure). For example, a waterproof watch is in some cases suitable for showering, but not for swimming or snorkeling. This watch will therefore have a lower number of meters, ATM or bar. When you want a watch that is suitable for diving, it needs a higher level of water resistance. To compare - a watch that is suitable for showering is 50 meters (5 bar) waterproof, a watch suitable for diving is 200 meters (20 bar) waterproof. On this page you will find all the information about water resistance.
