  Nowadays, most luxury watches have some degree of water resistance, but you should not place blind faith in a watch's water-resistant capabilities. There are some misconceptions about water-resistant watches that everyone needs to know. Today, Xiaoya will share some common misconceptions about water-resistant watches.

  Common misconceptions about water-resistant watches

  1, Water Resistance Depth

  Speaking of depth, if you are not a professional diving enthusiast, you probably do not know how many metres you have descended. For those of you mostly just splashing around in shallow water areas, a basic waterproof watch with a rating of fifty or sixty metres is enough for your use. Of course, because of this, you have no way of knowing the accuracy of the value.

  In fact, during watch testing and measurement, water resistance depth expressed in metres is merely a theoretical value. Water resistance depth refers to the depth when both the watch and water are completely stationary. This stationary condition does not exist in the real world for swimmers or divers. Therefore, when you put on your "water-resistant to 100 metres" watch, do not get carried away and swim down to a depth of 100 metres.

  2, Complete Water Resistance

  Friends around me often ask questions like this. The paradox of "completely water-resistant" and "water getting inside" frequently occurs. According to guidelines issued by the US Federal Trade Commission, watch sellers must not label their watches as "completely water-resistant".

  Meanwhile, deep-diving watches manufactured specifically for deep diving, such as the Rolex Submariner and the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, cannot be called completely water-resistant even though their water resistance performance has reached a very high standard and they are even claimed to be able to stay on the deep seabed for a period of time. So the next time a salesperson encourages you to buy a completely water-resistant watch, you will know what to say.

  3, Can You Trust the Water Resistance Function?

  If you start to dismiss the idea of buying a water-resistant watch just by seeing the two points above, you are far too easily swayed. The primary function of a good water-resistant watch is water resistance, and consumers can choose what kind of water-resistant watch to buy based on their usual lifestyle and wearing habits. Whether it is basic daily water resistance, swimming water resistance, or deep-diving water resistance. Although the standard values should not be trusted blindly, they do indicate a range of use instructions, so there is no need to worry too much when purchasing. Giving up a good water-resistant watch out of fear that the figures might be inaccurate would be the greatest pity of all.

  Review:

  ◆The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms collection watch, known as the deep-sea submersible, is commanding yet elegant.

  ◆The case diameter is 45 mm and the thickness is 15 mm, consistent with the retail version.

  ◆The crown is a screw-down crown, typical of a diving watch, featuring three functions: winding, date setting, and time setting.

  ◆The coin-edge detailing on the case edge is accurately replicated, with fine brushed finishing that is smooth and snag-free.

  ◆The water resistance of the Fifty Fathoms is unquestionable and is one of its major characteristics. Many clients have fed back to me that taking it diving is genuinely hassle-free. Therefore, you can safely wear it for aquatic activities.

  The above covers common misconceptions about water-resistant watches. The water resistance of most water-resistant watches is still reliable; the most important thing is to use them on different occasions according to the water resistance rating of the watch.
