How Does Water Resistance Work in Watches? A Full Guide for 3ATM, 5ATM, 10ATM & 20ATM+

Shopping waterproof watches for men can be confusing - here are the details on what makes a watch good for swimming and diving. In this video, Vaer co-founder Reagan Cook breaks down the various water resistance ratings used in the watch industry from 1ATM to 100ATM, and explains the practical applications for watches at each step of the way.

Here is a full list of the ratings, with chapter links if you want to skip ahead:

0:00 - INTRODUCTION
1:30 - 1 ATM - Essentially no water resistance, stay away
2:37 - 3 ATM - Covers splashes, not steam or submersion.
4:36 - 5 ATM - Handles quick submersion and showering.
