Interesting. Apparently I do not. What an unhelpful method of certification.

You need 200 metres or more in watch language to be able to swim with them and that is providing you don't push any buttons.
Watches greater than 200 metres suitable for diving
are correspondingly more heavy.

I may be wrong but I think "divers" have their own European standard to be classed as divers, from memory then need a minimum of 200m water resistance, screw down crown & unirotational bezel... not that my watches see more than a bit of fairy liquid and grubby cutlery!

Rubbish, 100m will cover most types of swimming, but that's the lowest I would go. Have had several 100m watches that I have swam, surfed and (lightly) snorkelled in with no problems.
Virtually all watches you're advised not to press any buttons or operate the crown whilst submerged.

Yes, I did my PADI in the Philippines and I have also dived in Argentina. But, I was not referring to this as a dive watch just as a watch for general adventure wear. This watch is not even suitable for snorkelling or surfing.

Official divers watches can still be classified in metres, or ATM, but it is strict ISO certification.
