Watches

This isn’t directed at OP (who asked a perfectly normal and legitimate question), but I feel like I’ve personally encountered this debate at least a hundred times (probably much more) on various forums over the years, and at a certain point, like…is it really that big a deal to just take off your watch while swimming? How often do you absolutely, absolutely need to know the time while submerged in water? (Assuming you’re not a diver, which few watch people are. And the surfers I know either wear G Shocks, or else don’t give a shit what time it is, which is why they became surfers.) If you’re someone who finds themselves searching the internet for horror stories about 100m watches getting ruined in kiddie pools and getting worried…just take it off when you go in the pool, man. You’ll feel better. No one’s gonna judge you, and you probably won’t need it there. Feel like the water resistance question has become a much bigger deal than it needs to be.
