I've purchased two "water proof diving watches" good to 600 feet. The first one leaked the first time in the water, the second lasted a year before flooding. These were expensive $80 watches, too.
Since my second watch was no longer under warranty, I took the advice from a veteran diver to "go to Rite Aid and get yourself an underwater watch for $20." He said, "I've been diving with mine for two years."
However, I'm confused with the specs: Water resistant to 100 feet or three atmospheres -- light rain or bathing is OK, but NO diving or snorkeling.
By the way, I know 100 feet is four atmospheres. How can it say "water resistant to 100 feet" when it's only good for light rain or bathing?
Has anyone actually used one of these watches (SHARP) to go diving with?
