its a $75 timex. You don't buy these watches looking for greater water resistance you buy them for fun lol. Never in my 20 years of watch collecting have I heard of anyone, on any forum have their watch fail in any body of water that was suitable for the watch. Honestly why do you even care about 30m WR? If you do, and you dive, then sure. But if you're a desk diver like 99.9% of collectors then you will never even test the limits of this watches WR.
Well done, sir or ma'am! I ended up getting TWO watches! Yahoo! I actually didn't get the Q reissue. Instead I went for a Waterbury Automatic that I got for only $111 and change and a Celestial Model that I just couldn't pass up! $190 out the door and an (irrationally) happy fella! Thank you so much for sharing this information so freely and generously! Love a generous Slickster!
I LOVE them BOTH! But that Waterbury takes the edge! This watch stuff is so much fun and just makes this old man smile. Doesn't matter if it's $11.99 on the AMAZE-on or $2,000.00 from Bob's, whatever makes me smile WINS! (I've never spent over $2,000.00 on a watch. Probs from some childhood issue. We all have our crutches)
AnyHOO!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH OP! New Watch Day is SO FUN!!! - Frosty
I like these watches just for the sheer fun of them. There are some simple, colorful (and again - fun) models to be had.
Note: The Waterbury automatics are powered by Miyota (by Citizen) 8205 movement. It should be tough, reliable, with 21 jewels, a 42 hour power reserve and a 21,600 bph beat rate.
I'm not sure about the comparative value, given that a few months ago I bought a Tissot with an accurate ETA Powermatic 80 movement and sapphire crystal for $209. But then again, for +/- a C-note, why not.
And why not - in for one.

If it had greater water resistance I would get it. 30 M doesn't cut it.

As far as I understand it, the 30M indication doesn't mean you can really dive 30 meters below the surface. It's resistant for splashes from hand washing and that's about it. I would just want something a bit more solid.

Totally understand that and that's what entry level divers are for. This thing is just for fun

Soft acrylic crystal, Watch band that will pull hair like crazy, 30 meter WR? Seems to me you would run away as fast as you could, and the price isn't that good either. And no I am not a watcheither.
