If watches are all about accuracy...

....why do they keep on putting 1000ft/300m on the face?

1,000ft is not 300m. Just sayin' 😗

984.252ft would look dicky.

And who really uses ft anyway ::stirthepot::

And most ratings are tested to +25% so technically 1000ft is OK.

If your base premise is false... 😉

Maybe they think imperial measurements are better so they promise an extra few yards if you are willing to go old school?

I wonder how an investigation works. I mean, if you went below 300m and claimed how would they know?

I think the only chance my watch will go more than 300m deep in the ocean is if I accidentally drop it overboard. 😀

Apologies. It was insensitive of me to share this news publicly, I know you two have a history

I always use my feet when swimming/ snorkling/ diving, as I cannot afford a submarine (submariner?) 😎

I'd get bent for sure if I had to switch to metric. One Hundred Twenty, heck I've another ten to go!
