This measure makes it possible to guarantee the same performance level across all the models concerned and to provide perfectly comprehensible information as to the day-to-day activities in which clients can engage while wearing their watch: washing their hands, showering, bathing, swimming and other aquatic activities, including diving to a depth of 30 m – which corresponds in large measure to actual utilization.

Perhaps the 30 meters is actually guaranteed to 30 meters, in which case, would be fine.. It's very rare people swim deeper that 30 m unless scuba diving
