Rather than use my Seamasters for what they were designed to do I bought a 200m water resistant G shock to wear whilst diving. It worked fine at 30m depth.

so it sould ok for diving and swimming and stuff?

Yes, it's good enough for anything that you'll be doing in the water as if you were going deeper you would have enough knowledge to not need to ask the question. Safe for swimming & Scuba

excellent :-)
it was the suba bit i was more worried a bout.

200 metres water resistance will usually be marked as 'professional' or '200m divers': denoting a proper divers watch, as opposed to a water resistant watch in a 'divers' style.

If it's got "DIVER'S" written on it, it's compliant with ISO6425.

More information than you probably wanted.
