> You can be sure, for example, that even most watches that say you can take them swimming aren't waterproof - they will likely survive a few metres for a few minutes, and that's it.
Casio account for a good few watches, and they're fairly clear on what they mean by water resistant and water proof. Their resistant watches can shrug off a dunking but shouldn't be used for swimming or placed in direct line of shower, nor should the buttons be depressed under water. Their 50 M waches are fine for swimming. Their 100M watches are unlikely to be troubled by anyone who isn't using scuba gear, and those people will buy watches specifically made for the job.
A 3a5ch shouldn't inconvenience the wearer or cause them concern. It should be waterproof. The same goes for phones. Confining yourself to a dry urban environment is life limiting. Not being able to call for help in a flood could be life shortening.
