I have a B1 with UTC, what do you guys reckon to swimming with it.....max depth 5ft in a private pool.......I know it says 50m but my naviworld says 30m and I wouldn't get it wet! |

Anything that's not at least rated at 100m, I would advise against it. Too big of a risk to take in my opinion. ~Brian |

Your most likely not going to have a problem with it at 5 feet. What ever you do do not press the buttons when the watch is wet. |

cluck cluck...call me chicken but I'll use my SuperAvenger...don't want to take ANY risks with my B1....3 young lads , myself and a pool = horseplay and the b1 would almost certainly end up full of water! |

I agree with Flynbyu - I've only had mine a month or so but didn't swim or shower with it on hols. The Aerospace - rated at 100M is fine for swimming & I've never had a problem in 4+ years. May well be OK but apart from the upset you'd end up on holiday without a watch - unthinkable! Try it out 1st before you go at least - get out there and do the washing up! We'll wait for the results and the photos to prove the test was conducted correctly!

But still - don't use the pushers when wet!
