Umm what isn’t true? The watch is rated to 50m. You are delusional and yet again factually inaccurate. No change there.

 

Did someone say SNORKEL???

 

According to Omega's own documented guidance 50m water resistance = not suitable for snorkelling at a depth of 1m.

 

Honestly, I have know idea why this persists.

 

SNORKEL!


I think this is my new drinking game.

 

50m water resistance = water resistant to 50m

 

Hope springs eternal at 50 meters

 

SNORKEL! Your turn to buy the pint!

 

What isn't true you say?
Well you made the following statement "It clearly says the watch is covered against immersion to 50m." and really doesn't, but if it does please post it here, if you can't then it might be you that's delusional and factually inaccurate.

 

Interesting question. What is it you think the 50m means? Yes I will take the time to find something that shows you that your talking nonsense but I sense you won’t care.

 

Wasn’t it you who posted this visual aid?

 

By the way, I think some of you guys will benefit from reading this article on what depth ratings really mean written by Jack Forster of Hodinkee in 2017. It should settle some of the issues.

Corrected. There you go.

 

Yes it was me, but if you take the time to read it and look at the corresponding pics it explains that while the watches are rated they also have examples of the practical uses and the limits of the rating, and at no point does it make the claim the a 5 bar watch is protected to be immersed at a depth of 50m, quite the reverse actually.

 

Wrong. Again.

 

How do you read “submersion in water” and assume it means “quite the reverse actually”... ?

 

So it’s safe to wear whilst taking a shower , not saying I want too but was slightly concerned that the water resistance of a speedy was less than rice paper according to the general consensus.

 

You can't just make up a point simply by paraphrasing. It's the submersion in water up to depth of 50m that is at issue, the Omega guidance states that the activity of snorkelling is not recommended hence the reverse.

 

Please post a correction if you can, but we both know you can't.

 

It clearly states that they don't recommend the watch for Snorkeling. Nowhere does it state that a watch with 50m of water resistance is not water resistant to 50m.

Given that freedivers include a snorkel in their kit, and the world record for constant weight freediving is currently 120m, I'd argue that watches with 100m of water resistant are not suitable or snorkeling... no matter what Omega's chart says.
