Things to Consider When Buying a Waterproof Watch

In the market for a waterproof watch? You may have trouble finding one, considering few watches (if any) are truly and completely water
proof, and are in reality only water
resistant. Water resistance is a term that can mean anything from "withstands minor splashing" to "submersible up to 100 meters," to any number of other definitions. So before you take your $5000 "water-resistant" watch into the swimming pool you may want to
check on some details. Maybe it can go cannon balling with you or maybe it should stay sitting safely by your beach towel and flip flops -- either way it's something worth knowing.

No wristwatches are waterproof. Some are more water-resistant than others- but none are waterproof.
Here is a very good glossary of watch terms:
