Waterproof watches are great if you want to know the time when you're surfing or diving. There are some important things to consider before you buy one, however.
The single most important feature in a waterproof watch is the lining. It's what makes the watch air and watertight. This is particularly important if you plan on wearing your watch while diving. It should be made from thick materials so that it can withstand the high pressure underwater found in lower depths. Of course, the style of a watch is important but only after you've found one with the proper lining for your needs.
When you're looking for a stylish watch you should think about how often you're going to wear it. If you're going to wear it to work it may need to be more formal. If it's mostly for casual wear you can go with something sportier. There are many models to choose from in a variety of price points.
However, if you choose a more formal watch it may mean you will sacrifice some of its water-resistance. This can be a concern if you will be wearing it while diving. You can check how well a watch will hold up under water by its depth rating.
If you're watch is for everyday use like showers or will be subject to occasional splashes it should have a depth rating of 150 meter or less. A watch with this rating will also be suitable for swimming.
If you plan to wear the watch during greater depths you should probably have a watch with a depth rating of 150 meters or higher.
Also think about what features the waterproof watch should have. If you prefer a watch that has such options as alarms or timers it's better to have a digital model.
Digital models are also preferably for those who plan on wearing their waterproof watch deep water diving since they are easier to read than underwater.
