Hey all -

I'm thinking about a RO for my next watch but I'm concerned about the 50m water resistance. Do your swim with it? I don't mean diving or anything, just swimming in a pool roughly 10 feet deep.

I know it's rated to 50m but that's static pressure and I'm talking about activity.

Thanks.

Ps - I know these threads are semi-annoying but I really appreciate any insight.

You're going to be just fine. As long as you make sure the crown is finger tight. Most people don't take any watch to depths worth worrying about. And it's doubtful a human swimming speed will force water into areas. Enjoy!

Yes, you should be just fine. I'd be more worried about hitting the bezel on the pool wall or something, banging up that wonderful hand polished bezel and case. That's why we have Rolex sport watches to use! :-)

No worries, it will be perfect for a swim now and then.
