Serious question regarding 50m WR…

How many owners actually wear a watch with 50m WR in the shower/ pool/ ocean?

Specifically I am curious about the experience of those who own:

•AP Jumbo 15202
And
•Omega Speedmaster

Looking for actual owner experience not theory. How long have you owned and worn your watch in the water?

Thanks for replies

I know not the smartest however I have a speed master from 1992 — runs perfect and never serviced and I wear in pool yearly without issue. I also swim w the roc and had no issues- that watch is like 5yrs old

Good to hear.

I feel super comfortable with 100n but am challenged to have the confidence with 50m. Hoping members can ease my concerns.

My speedmaster pro (never been serviced) from 98?? (It was the first 1957 reissue model) went through rain, shine, tapwatrr splash ok... But I wouldn't trust it for swimming as it isn't a screw down crown

Have a Speedy and yes i do shower, swim in the ocean, etc with it. No worries. i do feel better with timepieces that have a proper screw-down crown tho. Even my cheap $400 DUMOREAU DM01 has 100m and screw down.
