I'll never forget the time I was standing on the deck of a Dive Boat in Mexico, getting ready to put my gear back in my bag... looked down at my wrist and, What The? Quickly threw my tank back on my back, and headed straight down... found my 1950's vintage submariner laying on the bottom, in a little over 150ft of water, with the bracelet attached at only one end of the case. Somehow I caught the bracelet on the ladder climbing back aboard, and snapped a pin. No harm done, and I managed to get in a little extra dive time.

No. I have a 1984 DJ that is rated to 50 meters (165 feet). At least that is what the booklet accompanying the watch says.

I swim over 100 laps every morning, but I don't wear a watch. It's not that I am concerned that the watch would be harmed, but I think it would be annoying. Maybe I'll try it sometime. At 50 years old, I don't need to propel any more mass than I already have attached to me!
