Help please will this compromise water resistance?
Hello fellow members
I pumped into a glass door and this is the aftermath,a chip between 5 and 6. Is the watch still good for water use? Btw the Crystal was changed last month.        Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Can’t tell if anything’s looks out of place as I don’t have that one but I slam mine into everything and it’s water resistance is fine

Doesn't look like it would, yet many dealers can do a (dry) pressure test. It can't hurt to have it tested and will give you a bit of peace of mind.

I wouldn't think that chip would have any effect on water resistance. It looks to be cosmetic only.

Looks fine from the pictures, I’ve certainly done worse.
If it was a big knock and you are worried, most watch places can do a pressure test for you. |

If you walk into any AD, ask them to pressure test it. That way you will know for sure. It should be free of charge

I really don稚 want to go through this again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Not a concern, at least from a water depth perspective.

I would just get it pressure tested and be if it passes just wear it and try not to bump into it again as that might cause a bigger crack Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
