I have a Tag watch that states it is waterproof to 200 meters. Says and is, in my experience have differed in a number of non-watch situations.
So what I hope is a simple enough question.... Will the watch be waterproof enough for say 10 meters depth in a swimming pool?
Watch is 2 years old, so no service yet.

Details . Yes, OK, this is an American site, but despite their best attempts at world domination physics seem to transcend political borders.

Basically if it says water proof rather than water resistant then it should be happy to sit at that static pressure without leaking. Swimming around will increase the pressure seen by the watches gaskets, but not by much.

A two year old watch should not have suffered a significant degradation of it's seals.

That said, please treat the above as the crazy ramblings of an internet random. I 'aint gonna pay for the service if it leaks.
