No helium release valve?

CloacaOn a 10 ATM WR watch? I doubt you'd ever dare go deep enough with it to end up in a situation where you need to be in a pressure room before going out!

CloacaThis is not really a true diver watch, it is a diver styled watch, 100m is good for swimming and perhaps snorkel, but anything more and you need a real diver watch rated at least 200m or more and has clearly marked on the face DIVER. This new drop is closer to being a divers watch, at 200m but still is not a certified diver watch. https://www.massdrop.com/buy/seiko-5-automatic-compass-watch

dnoblettYeah, I've always read this, that 100 meters is barely enough for a pool. But the deepest pools I've ever been in are the 25,-meter-square, 5-meter-deep diving and synchronized swimming pools that they have next to the 50-meter pools at Olympic class swimming centers. You'd think a 100-meter watch could handle 5 metres. If the meters number is a fraud, I'd rather they go all out and just put 4,000 meters on it, like a UTS diver. That would be cooler. Who's gonna know? Unless someone actually tries to use a diving watch to go diving. I read on a forum that multiple Helson divers were leaking or fogging up during shallow diving.
Cloacathe other thing lost of people, those depth/pressure ratings are for static uniform pressure and the amount of time they withstand said 'pressure' will vary immensely. pressures varying to one side of case or the other, and movement, or running water (ie high pressure shower head for example) can mess things up even more, I would not 'dive' 200 m with a 200 meter diver, you'd definately want to go over that limit with a certified /well respected name when you're down there and relying on this as a tool/safety first :-)
