Pressure Test question...

You have a watch that is rated at 1220 meters (Hey, just like a Sea Dweller) but because of the limits of the watchmaking establishment, the watch was only pressure tested to 10 Bar...
Any cause for concern???
And no, I have no intention of going down any where near that deep...

The machinery I have can test down to 4275 feet past seadweller specs but anything 300 feet is more than 99.9 percent of the diving community will ever need. Rikki

About the only way my watch is going deeper than that is if it falls off my wrist and overboard while I'm on a cruise.

I have a dssd and my deepest dive was about 40 feet...lol. What attracted me to the watch is that it's built like a tank. I love how big and heavy this watch feels on my wrist.
