I reckon any watch with ILLUMINATOR written on it that big should be able to light your way home across a dark foggy moorland like a maglight

If I shout [b]ILLUMINATOR[/b] whilst pressing the buttons on my watch I transform into a light-themed Superhero.

Not much call for it in Simister though 🙁

Diving to 100m is all very well but could it cope with 4 showers a day?

I have a watch which since its last battery change is waterproof to a depth of 0.00 of an inch ..as in not at all

Probably dry seals, most water-resistant watches have O-rings to seal parts like screw-on backs, winders, push-buttons, etc, and these should have a tin film of silicon grease applied when the case is closed up.
When I opened up my Seiko SPORK to regulate it, I greased the O-ring carefully before putting the case-back back on; helps stop the O-ring from binding and pinching out when the back is tightened up.

@countzero..useful info thanks ..in the meantime following on from the info received earlier
I have looked on the Animal website and they do indeed have their own service department but I haven't as yet contacted them with regard to a price to re-seal & service ..
The watch itself still works perfectly ..
Cheers

Bugger me those watches are fugly.

My ideal is a minimal watch with no second hand and a crystal clear, simple display face.

I'm sooooo near buying a Daniel Wellington but it's just the way they've reversed the D on the facia.

It would irritate the hell out of me every time I looked at the thing...

Has anyone heard of Skagen watches, they look and seem mighty classy lightweight and slimline.
I’ll take a pic if I get a chance of my latest one which is a Skagen.
I have a titanium one with carbon face. 😉

Skagen?

Edit: 2 minutes late.

Look on the "watch which?" thread for links to watch review sites. Lots of info and options on there....even for Woppit!!

Mine is waterproof to 3000m and is milled from a solid block of titanium. This is essential for my usage, which includes washing up, having a shower and the occasional swim.

I do rather agree, I’d be attacking that lettering with a black Sharpie...
