Gmt 2

Hey guys, looking at picking up one of these babies, my question is, they are water resistant rated for 100m, now im a big water baby, I don't dive but will this watch or any other with 100m rating be ok for the beach and snorkleing ? Ive been told to stay with something 200m or more, like my Sub or would I be ok.

Thoughts ?

Thanks all

It will work for you at the beach and snorkleing. the depth is over 300 feet, not many people dive at that depth unless your a commercial diver diving on gas. you will love it

Hi, I'm a PADI advanced open water diver. I´ve been at depths of 30 meters with my GMT and it performed great. You have nothing to worry about, keep that babie on your wrist.


Peace.

Hey Tony - I do laps in the pool with my 16710 - I am sure yours (assume will be pressure tested) will be fine.
