Few understand how seriously you take the water pressure in your shower, methinks 馃榾
If you realy love the UD... get one. It's about what makes you happy, not what others find too big. Wearing mine a lot on the bracelet, I don't even notice size and weight anymore. It's a special piece you don't see on a lot of wrists...
There should be more awareness about the real life impact of water pressure on the rated WR on watches.
The only reason I didn't get it is because I bought the Oreo last year and the Summer Blue & Deep Blue were the UDs I like most and they were pretty similar to my Oreo versus the GSotM which I ended up buying.
I allllmost bought both though, but decided to wait because I didn't want to water down the experience and I'm also curious about upcoming new releases including any new UD models.
I'm one of those. That's why the PO is my fishing buddy and consequently my shower buddy.
I've showered with the 300M and while I've never had an issue, it makes me nervous. I won't take anything with a lower WR rating to the shower (or even the faucet).
Once I put a 200m WR Tissot into the water stream under the faucet and water got into it.

I agree- there should be more awareness of exactly what Omega's water resistance ratings mean. Here is a chart that shows not just the depth rating, but also the resistance to pressure measured in pounds per square inch. Omega's ratings are not just depth resistance.
The water supply to most houses is between 50 and 80 psi (exceptions when houses are on a well, where water pressure is lower; or when houses are supplied at the bottom of a hill from a higher water source, where pressures might be higher- but international plumbing and building codes generally limit water pressure going to residential homes to about 80 psi for saftey reasons). Most showers do not increase water pressure (unless they have a power head or some sort of a pressure pump).
The bottom line with showers is, bad seals you're going to have a problem with the average diver. Otherwise, you'll be fine.
I'm honestly unsure of the physics if a surfer hit the water's surface wiping out, but would agree that moving at 25 miles per hour would probably exert more than the 1 BAR of pressure the surface of the ocean roughly has.

So my Planet Ocean can withstand an 850psi shower - aw yesss! 馃槅
what did you do, install a pressure washer pump and head in your shower? Sounds like you're taking this whole clean thing very seriously

Hey wait a minute, I've seen this one before!
