Guide to You the Water Resistance of a Watch
A water resistant watch is very popular nowadays as people require more for sports watches. But are you familiar with the water resistance of the watch? There is much to know about a water resistant watch.
First, what make a watch water resistant?
There are several factors to make a watch water resistant. The most important one is the gasket or what’s called “O-ring”. It is made of rubber, nylon or Teflon. When the rubber, nylon or Teflon was applied on the joints of watch face, the bottom, the crown and the case, it forms the water resistance function. If it is a chronometer, the watch will equip with a gasket in the motivator. What’s more, a sealing layer, which is a kind of liquid that hardens quickly after being coated, is applied on the inside of the watch case to make sure the watch water proof. A screw-in watch bottom is helpful in resisting water. Nowadays, many diver watches adopt a screw-in watch bottom and screw-in watch crown. Besides the structure of the watch, the thickness and material of the case are also important elements for the water resistance ability of a watch.
Secondly, how to tell how deep your watch could resist water?
You must notice that no watch is marked as “complete waterproof”. That because the Federal Trade Commission has ruled that no watch could be claimed as complete waterproof, even in the case of dive watch. So what’s the meaning of different degrees of water resistance? The basic water resistant level is labeled with only “water resistant”. This indicates the watch could resist only the sparkle of water. A higher degree is 50 meters water resistant. This shows the watch is suitable for swimming. Further is to resist water to 100 meters. It applies to air pipe dive swimming. For the 200 meters water resistant watch, it could be used for leisure diving. The last is for the incredible 1000 meters or more water resistant watch, which is noted for deep ocean diving.
With the above knowledge, make sure what degree you want for a water resistant watch and be a smart consumer.
