Would you swim with ROO 26401RO?
Hi all. Does anyone have an experience swimming in pool with 26401RO? I know it has 330 feet (100m) water resistance, but i’m still a bit concerned considering chrono pushers feel a just a little loose

I go in the pool with my 26420SO. Even with a little horseplay, I don't think that I'd fully engage the chronograph by accident.

Have been swimming with mine for the last few days. Accidentally reset the running chrono while underwater yesterday as wasn’t thinking about it. It’s totally fine.

Don’t do it. No reason to.

Only if it’s still under warranty or extended warranty - otherwise you will have about a $4500 repair bill (I know this from making the mistake of swimming at the beach a few years back, RO conked out and AP and Manfredi Jewelers said i had to pay for my negligence)…….

Along the lines of risk/reward: Whilst it may not be criteria for WR, I consider what I’m doing as “swimming” to determine if said watch is appropriate. I’ve been in the pool lounging with my rose gold 15202. It has been underwater, in hot tub briefly and generally “in the water”. But it’s not my watch to pick when I go to the pool to do laps for exercise. I choose a tag 2000 for that. For any watch that’s rated to 100m it should be fine to swim in a pool for laps. Just depends on whether you want to or not. Life’s short, enjoy your watches. But if choose not to then you have an excuse to buy another watch :)

Minimal if the crown is screwed down tight, the watch has been serviced properly, is in good condition and you don't operate the crown or chrono underwater. I've swam with all of my Offshores without hesitation at one point or another.
