Hello I was just wondering if Scubatoys could shed some light on some conflicting information I have been getting.

Alright so most companies say that a water resistance of 200m is recommended for scuba, but watches that are "dive watches" are only rated to 100m. I just asked the people at scuba.com and they said that 100m resistance is far passed what a diver would need.

I am assuming that the scuba.com guy doesn't know how dive watches are rated for water resistance because 100m water is what a watch can withstand if the 100m rated watch is held perfectly still under 100m of water, and I would have assumed he would at least tell me about the 200m recommendation if he had some knowledge on the matter.

So in the end I know that 200m is recommended, but is 100m sufficient?

Has anyone had problems diving with a 100m watch?
