Tim Cook Talks Apple Watch Water Resistance and European Apple Pay Expansion

I'd be interested in reading such a piece if you succeed in digging a good one up.

Here's the one from ORIS. This is their general product guide. Go to page 25 for the WR chart.

Don't expect a watch w/ a 5-10m rating to be any good for anything but washing your hands. The meters rated on a watch aren't the actual depths you can reach. For serious scuba diving most mfrs. will recommend 50bar+, which is 500 meters. But you're not actually diving to 500m. I mean you could, but that would probably be curtains for you.
Plus in many watches the rating has more to do w/ pressure resistance. If I remember correctly, ORIS used to have a good write up on their site regarding their watch ratings. Breitling used to as well but I haven't been able to find it. I'm sure other dive watch mfrs. have something similar.

I just wish an watch for swimming, surfing, etc. without damaging it.
If I go scuba, I can always use my 300m Omega.
I spend a lot of time doing water sports and I would love the Watch to be available for these but I am not expecting it until later versions.

good - but won't stop the haters from hating it.

I like that you call me a "hater" because I'd like something with more battery life
Can I throw some weasel words at you too? I've got some ready.

Ohh I hope so. It's one of the big reasons I wasn't going to buy one. I'd like to be able to get texts while in the pool.

Actually I meant it along the lines of the water resistance classification.

I thought you meant 30 meters of water depth.
