Thank you very much, Ivanclai, for the kind info.
This is too bad, since I do like the dial of 5712 with its slimness, while 5980 seems a bit too thick for me. So I guess I will stick with my good old 5711A for its good water resistance level, and durability.

definitely not for swimming

some people even recommend not into the showers. splashing from the sink is OK but not dipping it in water. Anything with water resistance less than 100M is not for swimming. So, need to watch out. If you want real water resistance, 5711 or 5980 is your c...
