Snorkeling & Swimming......

[Mr Daytona]

Anyone snorkel or swim with the Omega Speedmaster 9300 with date occasionally? I'm really interested in this watch but just have a hard time feeling comfortable with the water resistance with no screw downs on the pushers. Or am I worrying too much about nothing?

[Mr Daytona]

I take the lack of responses as a no......................

There were some responses in the Speedy Pro thread covering the same topic a while back:

I didn't know it didn't have a screw down crown. Always figured it did as it's an auto with 100m water resistance.

I would have thought it was fine to swim in.

Edit, sorry re-read your post. You're referring to the pushers. Should still be ok to swim though.

This was referring to the Speedy Pro which has an even lower water rating than the Speedy 9300.

why ,,, why on earth would you want to risk swimming in a nice watch ,,,,
i just dont get it ,,, buy a casio .
keep the nice things nice.
never take anything into the water that your not willing to lose or destroy , and salt waters worse.

Why wear your nice watch in the real world, it should be kept in the safe. Might get damaged out in the real World

I live on water and in it quite a bit. I was just curious. I have dive watches I will use but was wondering is all.

i just dont see the point , never have , never will ,
too many threads with pics of water damage. but to each his own i guess.

The rating limit for me is 300 ft. anything less than that I try not to get wet.

Not a bad rule of thumb and the Speedmaster has a 330 ft rating. I wouldn't even be asking if the crown and pushers were screw down. That's the only thing that gives me pause.

Many people are cautious and that's fine, like some other said why risk it? But if you are the daring type like I am you want to test the boundaries to some extent. Personally I would go ahead and swim but I wouldn't do any water skiing or high speed water sports with it. And if you do swim in salt water, or chlorine just make sure to rinse with clean fresh water after.
