24hour non-scientific water immersion test!

Recommended Posts

Since I don't really have any scientific equipment to test for water resistance, I thought I should just make one out of a really tall pretsel container that holds about a gallon and a-half of

water and added a teaspoon of salt just to make it more exciting. I greased all the gaskets of these watches b4 they got in, except the SSD!

These are the watches that went in:

and this is how they all looked like in the bottom:

Wow! They all passed!!!! Except the SSD come out with some rust on the end links, but I think it was from the sprinG bar because it easily wiped off!

I love all these watches after this test! I know in the ocean snorkeling or diving is a different story, but at least for daily wear and occasional swimming, they should be fine!

THANKS! HIKE

NATO and el cheapo spring bars for the ocean baby !!

If you take a watch in the ocean, better go ahead and buy some more spring bars that salt will do it every time.

Grease them up and make sure they are tight. I have not had any troubles in the pool or the beach myself.

disclaimer - I have never swam with a chrono and dont intend to.
