- 30M Water Resistance: Accidental light splashes.
- 50M Water Resistance: OK to wear while hand washing & in shallow water.
- 100M Water Resistance: Fine for swimming & snorkelling, but not for water sports.
- 200M Water Resistance: Suitable for serious water sports e.g. surfing or jet skiing, but not scuba diving.
- 200M DIVERS: Designed for scuba diving, however not at depths that require helium gas.
