Hi all,
Hope everyone is having a great Xmas Break?
Really, really like this watch but I do end up in the water quite a lot, wild swimming, scuba, water skiing and general pool activities. Currently have a PO, which never leaves my wrist and has never let me down even when face planting off a kneel board!
I love the AT but am curious as to whether anyone wears one for actual water activities?
Looking forward to your responses.

Omega guarantees you can go to the depth it is rated for so even a 30m WR Omega can be used when swimming.

My rule of thumb is if it has a screw-down crown and is rated for at least 100m of water resistance, it is fine to go in the water. The Aqua Terra meets both requirements, so I’d have no problem taking it in the water.

Have the watch pressure tested if buying preowned, but otherwise you’re fine down to 150 meters.

The Aqua Terra is a perfect all-rounder.

AT have WR 150m, right? You and your watch will be safe.

The model name might give you a hint...😉

Water/Land? So no mention of Ocean as in Planet Ocean, am I assuming your vagueness is implying only water resistant on land, as in splash, rain or washing up?

150M rating should remove all doubt here, OP. So marketing/naming of the watch need not apply.

I mean, if we want to get really semantic about it, even the ocean is on land. The point is, it’s a surf & turf watch. Swim on. If it gets exposed to salt water, give it a rinse.

Aqua terra has it all. My WT aqua terra is a daily beater which has done diving and watersports. Most accurate watch outside of a Casio I have ever owned. Top performing durability whilst retaining top style. Wear in good health.

I moved to AT after couple of decades of wearing dive watches with bezels (among them Seamasters of every generation and PO’s). Ive been wearing AT’s for the last ~8yrs and still dive, swim and do active water sports. I regularly get to around 50m with no issues. I no longer use my watch for diving but prefer not to take it off and leave on the boat so it’s usually covered under my wet suit but never experienced any issues.

But does this include movement in water?
On that note, how do you get a watch into water without moving the watch through water, or water moving over the watch?
So many mysterious questions
