Hi, gang,
Hoping someone knows the answer to this question off the top of their head.
I've had a dive watch serviced, during which it was pressure tested to 3atm (the max the Seiko service centre could do, apparently - absurd but there we are!).
Now, I know stated WR on watches doesn't necessarily correlate to actual permissible depth, but what about pressure tests? I.e. if it is pressure tested to 3atm / 30m, is it pretty much ok to use in water up to thay depth? (As opposed to a 3atm-rated watch, which I wouldn't take near a sink.)
I don't plan to dive with the watch, but would like to use it when swimming. It's also not particularly expensive, so not the end of the world if it floods....
