What do the water resistance markings on my Accurist watch mean?Updated a month ago

Water resistance ratings indicate how well your Accurist watch can withstand exposure to moisture under specific conditions. Below is a guide to help you understand what each marking means:

  • 30 Metres (30M)
    Suitable for everyday use. Resists splashes and rain.
    Not suitable for bathing, swimming, or submersion in water.

  • 50 Metres (50M)
    Offers the same protection as 30M, but can also be worn while bathing or swimming in shallow water.
    Not suitable for diving.

  • 100 Metres (100M)
    As above, plus suitable for poolside diving and snorkelling.
    Not suitable for high board diving or SCUBA diving.

  • 200 Metres (200M)
    Offers enhanced resistance suitable for SCUBA diving (within recreational limits).
    Not suitable for high board diving.

Important: Regardless of water resistance rating, do not operate the crown or buttons while the watch is in contact with water.
