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

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.

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!

:lol: :lol:

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