Waterproof Watches

Water resistance level

Water resistance is usually indicated on the back of the watch. When a watch has a high resistance to water, such as a diving watch, it is also common that it can be read on the dial. There are several terms on how to indicate the water resistance of a watch: BAR, ATM, FT, M.

ATM: ATM means atmosphere. 1 atmosphere (1 atm) equals 10 meters in still water (static pressure).
BAR: a BAR (bars) is just another way to define an atmosphere, so they are basically the same.
FT: is the water resistance measured in feet in still water (static pressure).
M: is the water resistance measured in meters in still water (static pressure).

Water resistant watches are generally rated at 3, 5, 10, 20, or 30 ATM / BAR. This refers to a water resistance of 30, 50, 100, 200 and 300 meters, respectively. The tests are carried out following a procedure in a laboratory in which the watch is subjected to a water pressure that increases slowly, until it reaches the pre-established level of waterproofing. Then the tester gives the go-ahead to the tested watch or not.

Non-waterproof watches:

If your watch does not say that it is waterproof, treat it as if it were paper. Water is terrible for these watches, and it can completely damage them.
