While I have owned several Ball watches throughout the years and enjoyed them, this Ball chrono is one I will not. I must say that at first blush, I was very interested. That said, after reading specs, it's too big and has too little water resistance at 50 meters. This one is just impractical for many of us. At 42-44mm and 100m water resistant, I very well may have jumped on this one.

larrygSo you actually plan on swimming to a depth of more than 150 feet with this on? Or ever?

CJ27First of all, as you probably know, water resistance ratings are misleading. A 50m rating is not 150 ft of " moving " depth, since motion or impact in water greatly reduces that depth rating. This watch is not one I would feel comfortable using while participating in any kind of water sports activities. It is not made for that purpose. At 48mm, this Ball is definitely not a dress watch, at least for most people. So where would its' purpose lie? All that said, if this Ball excites you, I think that's great, and you should go for it. I love the brand, just not this specific watch...All the best...
