Hello all, so here it is for my first post...
Looking at the following link (
Recent Reviews), I found an unhappy
Suunto Yachtsman user who explained he ended up catching water with his
Yachtsman even though he did not go deeper than 72ft with a 30m water resistant
Yachtsman. In response to the user's comments, an "expert" answered what follows:
"Hi Michael, the first thing I should let you know is that the Suunto watches are not water proof, they are water resistent to 100 ft..."
As far as I'm concerned, both expressions are equal although I tend to agree with one of this forum's 2002 users (Brad) who stated:
"water "resistant" means that. You can take it under water, but do NOT press any buttons. That's the real difference between water resistant and water proof. On a dive watch that is water proof, you can press buttons for function."
That seems to be the appropriate answer as opposed to that of the expert, is there something else I should know about water proof vs. water resistant?
Shouldn't any
Suunto 30m water resistant watch be good for
AT LEAST 30m, hence justifying the user's concerns?
Thank you!
