Watches come with varying levels of water resistance. However, it's essential to avoid wearing them in the shower or bath, as the chemicals in soaps and shampoos can damage the gaskets.

Water resistant watches
The water resistance rating is given by the manufacturer and is based upon 3 factors: the crown, the case back and the gaskets. Yet every day conditions (like changing the battery from time to time) and the aging of the gaskets might decrease the watch’s resistance to water over time. That’s why we recommend to test your watch to ensure yourself that water will not enter the watch case.

If you want to wear your watch every day, you can choose a waterproof watch with 3 and 5 ATM of waterproofness.
Let's explore the different levels of water resistance measured in bars and what they mean. Manufacturers typically specify a model's water resistance rating using bars, atmospheres (ATM), meters (M), or feet, often marking the case back and dial with figures like 30ATM or 50M. Check out the links below each section for recommendations on the watches we stock—maybe one will catch your eye!
3 ATM: A watch with a 3ATM rating means that your watch is water resistant in the case of slight exposure to water such as when you wash your hands or when it rains. Your watch will withstand occasional splashes such as hand washing or rain. We recommend removing it during a shower or swim to avoid damage.
5 ATM: This is a slightly waterproof watch. The 5 ATM water resistance allows your watch to withstand submersion in water, so you can use it for swimming. However, if you are planning a swim, make sure it is calm, avoid jumping and diving! A 5ATM watch does not withstand activities that will put your watch under excess pressure. Furthermore, do not take a shower or bath with your waterproof watch because condensation may damage your watch and leave a cloud of mist under the glass of your watch.
