Watch with "Water Resistant"
Recently there are questions from friends about the watches with "Water Resistant". Some of them are proud of the watch which stated "Water resistant 100m". 100m is A LOT, even the maximum depth that a recreational scuba diver can go is just 40m!
Hmm, this is really not true when i have read thru several articles. In real life, my close friend did a scuba dive with his digital watch with "100m water resistant". We went only to the depth of 20m+ his watch shows 88:88:88. When the time we surfaced, the watch back to normal. Few hours after the dive only realised the water has actually penetrate into the watch.
To clear the confusion of "Water resistant XXXm", i should summarized that only the watch with the "Diver's 200m..." or "Professional 200m..." (depth vary depending on model) is meant for scuba diving. Because these watches are made to met the ISO standards of "water resistant".

Did your fren press a button when during the dive? If he did, then sure die lar.. hahaha. So far, my cheapo Casio 50m water resist is still running for swimming pools - er.. 1 m onee.
wow.. Casio's watch is ok lah. It is quite reliable and offering at competitive price. Personally, i'm also a Casio fans. But if you are serious in sports (running, cycling, adventure, scuba diving & etc) wearing a specific function watch is cool. It really provide you some cool information. ;) besides, it looks trendy though.
