2.0 out of 5 stars
Cool but useless, October 5, 2009
This review is from: National Geographic Men's NG730GKMK Signature Mega Steel Diver Watch (Watch)
I purchased this watch in preparation for a trip to Hawaii. I do realize that "Water Resistant" is not "Water Proof", but this is advertised as "Water Resistant to 1000M" so I believed it would be a good water watch. I do not dive, but I wanted a watch I could leave on when visiting the Beach. My Bad. After 20 minutes of swimming in the surf, I walked back on the beach and found that the watch had allowed water to enter. Not much and it appeared to dissipate. Once again, My Bad. When ever I wore the watch after, condensation would from on the inside of the crystal. I returned the watch to the Service Center which was very prompt in sending out a new replacement; however, they included a note with the new watch. "Dear Customer; This letter is to inform you that we have received and processed your watch for replacement. Your watch should NOT be worn while swimming. Watch is water resistant only, meaning it can handle getting wet but should not be submerged in water. Sincerely, Customer Service Egana of Switzerland". The "Your watch should not be worn while swimming" was high lighted. Hmmmmm, so I basically purchased a COOL looking Dive Watch that I can't wear while washing the dishes.
