One word of caution - it DOES say in the Watch User Guide that the water resistance isn't a permanent condition - suggesting repeated exposure to water, or possibly just aging of the watch itself, will erode the water resistance.
Just something to keep in mind - one day it may not be as resilient as how it's performing for you now.
Also wanting to address one other comment someone made. I would hope no-one is attempting to tell anyone else how to use their watch. I think the words of caution that people are using are to make sure that people are making an informed decision and know the risks.
Provided they're aware of the risk and prepared for the potential outcome, all is good.![]()
Simple temperature changes can also have an adverse effect on the seals in a water-proof/resistant product. Also, pressure changes from altitude or flying.
One example not directly related is when flying with my GoPro in the waterproof case. If I forget to unlatch the housing before coming from Beaver Creek/Vail back home to Florida, it is a real pain to open that housing up.
