I am a master diver. And a tech diver. I absolutely dive with watches rated for 100m no problem. Recreational divers are limited to 60' so they are no where near any limit.

“I looked at a glass of water. Is my Sea Dweller ruined!?” - half of Reddit’s Rolex posts

100 meters? That’s 300ft. That’s more than enough, the average recreational diver goes around 40 ft deep.

100m for a dive watch is more than enough. You’ll be really more than a 5 m underwater.

Casio has proven you wrong😂😂😂

Good point about pressure-testing, especially with an older watch. A few points, though: - There are plenty of watches that say "200m" (or so) on the dial. Relatively few of these watches are officially certified (say, ISO certification) for watertightness to a given depth, so you're essentially going on the say-so of the manufacturer. If you're dealing with the majors - Seiko, Orient, Citizen, Casio *et al* you should be okay. - ISO certification (which, BTW, covers stuff beyond just water-resistance for dive watches) has a minimum baseline of 100m as a standard. Many commercial divers rarely go beyond that depth on the day-to-day, and recreational divers rarely go past 50m. Your Jacques Cousteau-wannabes are in the extreme minority. But if you *must* have that chunky 600m diver, and have the bucks for it, I won't judge you...much. 😅

Another point...the screw down crown was not designed to keep water out, nor does it,,,that's the job of the seals. The screw down crown was designed so your crown doesn't' accidentally get popped open underwater. Sinn makes a 5000m Dive watch that is NOT ISO rated, nor does it have a screw down crown. The rolex Submariner, Sea Dweller and Deepsea are not ISO rated...yet, I've never heard of them being referred to as "Dive style Watches". I agree...servicing is key, bt that is for any watch you wear in the water.

I happen to have a Seiko SRPD71K1, and an Orient "Kamasu," and the deepest water they see is in my shower/tub. I am a master desk diver and I approve of 100 meter WR. The Seiko does require quite a hard pull to get the crown out for setting the time, so I am confident in the crown gasket for now. Plus, I live in the New Orleans area, and we have incredibly high humidity and dew points most of the time, but my Seiko hasn't fogged up once so far.

I don't dive any deeper than my bathtub😂

To bare the DIVER mark anywhere on a watch must certified by ISO 6425😉

Even if a watch has zero water resistance, you can still dive with it. Just don't expect it to keep working 😉

I don't know how to swim, but own the Seiko 5, I buy for how it looks.

If anyone talks to you about dynamic pressure experienced when you move around, know that it's negligible compared to the static pressure which is based on depth. The depth rating is also based on specific tests which may differ from watch to watch. Certain standards carry more weight than others, but you may not be able to find out which tests a watch had been subjected to. Just dive with a dive computer or go with a 200m+ watch.

The first dive watch, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, has 100m water resistance and does not have a screw down crown. You obviously can't Diver's certify the first dive watch because its conception preceeds the existence of certification standards, and a screw down crown does not actually prevent water from entering the case, that's the job of the crown gasket. I wouldn't personally dive with something that isn't 200m or Diver's certified because 200m is in my mind the bare minimum modern standard that manufacturers who are serious about diving need to reach. But there's nothing wrong with only 100m resistance and no screw down case, the watch would probably survive down to 30ft at least.

That's why I have a Casio G shock DW5600

All the divers I take under water are ISO certified to at least 200 M

The ruby dial Kamasu has a screw down crown and a solid back, screw down back-plate. It will do scuba diving just fine.

My SSK003 has been to 28m several times… no problem ( i use a dive computer so if it fails its just expensive not dangerous)

Seiko Tuna is the true diver 🐟

100. Met is more than enough for the recreational diver!!!

Just get a g shock and dive worth your full hearts content ♥️

Casio Duro, that’s what I’d dive with.

Let’s go…keep up the consistency and do another subscriber watch collection if you can 🤙🔥

Desk Diving, is still diving. 😂

This guy is NOT even a diver! He probably haven’t been in the water deeper than 5ft.!😅😂

Why do they rate water resistance watches in meters and yet cant reach the rating that deep in water?

10 school buses deep is fine for any type of diving situations I might find myself in.

How often to release the gaskits? My dive watch i bought on chrono24 it is from 2017 i dive with it i only go arround 3 to 5 meters deep

I dove with my g shock and never anything happened. I did so with a Casio Duro. Omega sea master died at 25 meters. Go figure. Dive watch my a***.

G-shock has decent water resistance but it doesnt have a rotating bezel

Just get a G-Shock dude.

99% of people who own dive watches are not divers so this is mostly irrelevant. People just like the style, and of course there’s a desire to own a capable, certified dive watch, maybe even with a fancy helium escape valve even though most don’t even know what that is for. It’s just more features. Most pilot watches aren’t worn by pilots. Most basketball sneakers never see a court.

Hey that’s my exact watch at the start

I know a professional diver who has used his Seiko 5 GMT for some jobs. Push-pull crown, non-ISO certified, only 100m resistance. And what do ya know?Everything was gravy! The number of divers that go past or even near 100m is few. At this point i think its just a marketing strategy for these brands. And well, for us suckers in the watch community 😂

Where did you get the Jubilee for the Kamasu? Looks great

Is it save for swimming ?

Not exactly right, the modern Seiko 5 Sports with SKX style case actually have the same water resistance as the first Rolex Submariner launched in 1953👍

I dove with my seiko 5kx, and it's perfectly fine, guys.

I dive with f91

Best dive watch is the OceanGate Seamaster Titanic edition.

How many people actually dive with a watch vs a digital watch with many other features?

100 meters is plenty.. most people dive UP to 50 meters if that, usually dives are around 20-30.

Wait... I have that Seiko, are you telling me I can sue them for false advertising?!!

Most dive watch users will never dive in their lives.

love this guy

What’s that red dial watch?

Perhaps the better way of saying it is that even though it's listed as 100m of WR it may not hold up to it due to pressure differences while moving with the watch.

More concentrated levels of pressure… wow…

RIP SKX007 💀

You can totally dive with watches that have 100m water resistance. Sure it’s great to have piece of mind and get a PADI dive watch but most watches are fine for diving at that rate.

Meanwhile theres this nat geo lady diving with gold datejust

The Kamasu isn’t a « true dive watch » per se. Crown is too small and it lacks the certification

Just because the watch doesn't have ISO certification as a dive watch doesn't mean it cannot be used as a dive watch

Imo water resistance is something too many people get hung up on. How many of us are actually going scuba diving with our watches? 99% of us are either going in the pool or to the beach. If you love the watch just go for it.

I never understood the meters they display on a watch. Unless you know, most people would think their watch is more protected than they are. I used to work for a company that serviced watches and had to explain that on a daily basis.

I have a watch that claims 200m but it doesn't have a screw down crown, so in my book it's actually no more than "splashproof".

My Seiko 5 has Diver's written on the dial. It's a Frankenmonster.

Get a decent quartz watch, change the battery and hydromod it. You'll be fine for 3 to 5 years.

Love that Kamasu

Seiko 5 sports is good enough for recreational diving- usually up to 40 meters. And that’s deep. Besides no one still uses a traditional dive watch for any technical dives. Even recreational divers these days don’t use dive watches. Besides if you do want to use a dive watch like a Squale then it needs to be inspected every year and tested. Don’t play with your life just to test a watch.

Bruh ISO standard is 100m do your research

A lot of the Seiko 5 sports watches have been used for ages by actual divers though.... There's plenty of military and even police divers that I've meet who use Seiko 5 sports. Granted they aren't deep sea divers, but divers none the less

At 00:56 you wrote true DRIVE WATCH

Regurgitated “knowledge” from standard statements made by most in the hobby that isn’t true.. the VAST amount of divers do not go go past 50m…there isn’t much to see down there so what’s the point..

I have a titanium Breitling 10,000 feet … can’t say I’ve put it to the test 😂

This is not a problem for 99% of the population

Better to have qq watch, they have 200m water resistance

Do you know what is 200m down? 😆

This video is absurd a seiko 5 with 100m water resistance is fine. Most technical professional divers will never go deeper than 100 meters. This is something watch enthusiasts are telling themselves to gloat about their watch but it certainly shows they know nothing about diving, like the author of this video.

Unless you are a navy seal you dont need to dive more than 100-200m

Im not a diver but im pretty sure 100m is enough

But I not diving with a 10k rolax sub. Is mad.

100m is more than enough for any recreational diver..

Dive Watches 🗿🗿 : $$,$$$+ Casio 💀 : 15$

G-Shock forever 🤘🏻

Lol so just dive without a watch

Have you ever dived?

Am i the only one who hates screw down crowns, i prefer 100m dive style watches honestly

My diver does them all😅, I’m lucky then?

Don't use any dive watch. Use a dive computer.

Water resistance is extremely misunderstood and overrated. 100M is just fine for 99.999% of water activities. I have that exact seiko 5 and snorkel with it.

How ya gonna make a video on dive watches and not include any with the helium escape valve?

Orient kamasu was not made correctly. Orient should have put a large crown an a nicer case back. If they did that, i would have kept the watch. But , its very reliable. I showered all the time with it. Plus, i dived past 200 meters with the watch. I sold the kamasu. I now own the orient star diver smurf. Its perfect. Orient has 200 meters, but i can guarantee it can go to 300 meters. I will never part with it.

Can someone identify the orange dial watch in the start of the vid

🧐 is this video ISO certified?😅 (jk) thanks for this video it’s really informative;)

😎 Yeah my omega reaches 300m... will ever go beyond 40 m.. probably not. 😂

Since when 100m isn't enough for diving 😂😂😂

If watch can't last 10 years with everything i can throw at it would never buy that brand again.

99% of people who own dive watches dont use it to dive, even less to below 100m.

Screw down crown do noteven make water restistent the case. Lmao

Uhhhhhh kamasu does have a screw down crown......5kx doesn't.

Oh wow! Click baits are still a thing

Who the f is gonna dive more than 100m with a Seiko 5😂😂😂

I dont even shower with any of my Seiko watches

100m is fine for far more than swimming, that’s 328 feet. That’s far deeper than recreational diving which typically doesn’t go deeper than around 130 feet. More experienced divers will go deeper but anything after 60 meters is technical diving, that’s 200 feet. So even if you see a technical diver, you still have 128 feet to go. The vast majority of people who where these watches will never come close to 100 meters, so that’s plenty resistance. Honestly, saying it’s just good for swimming is a stupid thing to say. People in the watch community get wrapped up in numbers that matter very little.

"Just for swimming" at 100m

100m....😅😅 Kinda deep 😁

"just 100m of water resistance," yeaaa.... Sorry but you don't know what you're talking about if you say something like that

Everything about this video is wrong. Starting with 100 meters is plenty for dive watches and thats the ISO certification, second gaskets are made out of silicon and not rubber unless you’re running a very old vintage watch, lastly screw down crowns does add to the water resistance they just ensure that the crown is indeed down and it won’t get bumped.
