Marathon Navigator Watch - Waterproofness?

[leghog]

Well, without thinking I dipped my watch arm into the pool and the watch got all wet, and it's still running. So far, so good. I figured a watch with military specifications that said it was water resistant probably would be, but I thought I'd ask and see if anybody had personal experience with it. Thanks, guys. .

There are no longer any milspecs (in the USA anyway) for watches.

Hi ACMarina-

Using a diving watch in a lake, swimming pool, or ocean is perfectly within its design parameters. Have no fear wearing it in the pool. Even saltwater won't have a deleterious effect on a properly-rated watch as long as it is rinsed from the watch with fresh water. Water-resistance (WR) ratings are typically found on the caseback and are usually measured in meters....

And as long as it was pressure tested after being serviced.
