Diving with my polar
Hey,
Anyone had diving experience with his 226570 exp II ? I’m thinking whether it’ll be a good idea…. The watch is relatively new, my daily since Feb.22, I do everything with him, including shower pool, beach…. What do you think? Thanks |

You'll break before the watch does.

i think you'll have a great time diving with your Exp II. How deep are you going?

Aside from it not having a rotating dive bezel, you’ll be fine

Explorer is NOT a dive watch by design, for God’s sake it was made famous by exploring the mountains and going to all high peaks and such.
With that being said, I don’t think you should have any problems diving with it as long as you don’t go below 100’ |

Shouldn’t that be 330ft instead?

Seriously?
Wow I’m surprised all of you said that it’s ok. I did dove with my sub with no worries as it’s 300m and built for it. With the polar - The 100m and twinlock system is ok to go down as much as 30 meters? In the pic - me diving at Cyprus together with the Sub :) |

Just make sure all your bracelet screws and links are tight

I wouldn't do a deep dive with it. Not rated for that.
Modern dive computers really make wearing a watch for this task obsolete. Unless its part of the outfit as a prop or a pose, I guess. |

The Explorer II is not a dive-watch in that it does not meet the specific requirements/specifications as spelled out in ISO-6425.
However, the watch is rated for 100-meter depth water resistance so should be perfectly capable of most recreational dive depths.

I saw a professional diver on here a while back who did hundreds of dives in their vintage Datejust. Pretty sure it was a 16013. Your modern Explorer is more than capable
