Water Resistant Watches

Water resistance is the measure of how well a watch will resist the intrusion of moisture. The table below shows how much water each watch can resist:

ATM	FEET	METRES	USAGE
3	100	30	Will with stand splashes or brief immersion in water, but it is not suitable for swimming but is suitable for showering
5	165	50	Suitable for swimming
10	330	100	Suitable for swimming and snorkeling
15	500	150	Suitable for snorkeling
20	660	200	Suitable for skin diving

Caring for your water resistant watch:

- Do not press any of the buttons whilst submerged.
- Do not pull out the winder whilst submerged.
- If the case, glass or seal is damaged, the watch will no longer be water resistant.
- If a watch is exposed to seawater, it should be washed well in fresh water and dried with a lint-free cloth.
- Batteries should be changed by the manufacturer or a Goldsmiths craftsman, so the water resistant seals can be checked and renewed. Otherwise the watch can no longer be guaranteed.
