Conversely, almost nobody who wears these watches is diving, and the very few individuals who are are probably recreational divers that aren't going to exceed much past 100 ft ( most will stay within guidelines set by PADI). It follows that essentially nobody wearing these watches needs more than several hundred feet of true water resistance, even 150M is incredibly excessive.

If essentially nobody needs a watch that even has 150 M of water resistance, then the Practical difference between wearing that or watch that has 300 M of water resistance becomes effectively zero.

TL;DR it's all personal preference, wear the watch you love
I wear ONLY my Speedmaster whenever I go hiking above 1000ft! Its the ONLY watch CERTIFIED for flight into space, and you can't be too safe!

Hiking above 1000ft?1!?? Nevermind the Speedmaster you made sure you had oxygen with you, right?

And snacks?

120ft? Thats Speedmaster depth!
I am sorry to say, but you are mistaken

120ft is the safe distance for a Spedmaster from a running lawn mower.

If I was to leave aside sentimental reasons as that would obviously play a part here, and choose just my overall favourite Omega in my collection, and the most versatile. I'd go for the Aquaterra 15,000 Gauss Bumblebee.



It never will be, as mentioned I have watches with real sentimental value, but I could easily get by with it being my only watch if it wasn't for that.
