Waterproof Royal Oaks?
Its interesting to hear the various viewpoints of whether to swim or not to when wearing a watch that is rated at being water resistant to 50m. For my part I have the jumbo and have swam regularly when wearing it - at times up to once a week for three years - and have never had a problem. The debate has made me question whether it is misleading that watch companies make a virtue of the depth a watch is water resistant to when that information appears open to conjecture or interpretation. I'm not going to change my behaviour as far as swimming with my jumbo is concerned but I might just have it tested though before I swim again - for peace of mind!

I've swam as well...

Off the coast of Massachusetts. I've been in the Atlantic ocean with my 15300. Worked fine, just make sure to wash it off in lukewarm water afterwards to get rid of any salt or sand... But If you're going for a dip or a short swim I think the 15300 is fin...
